What folate level should I aim for?
I've been searching and I cannot find the answer to this anywhere - what folate level should I aim for? I found one study where healthy men had a folate level of 12 ng/ml. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4236337/ Mine is deficient at 3 micro g /L (range 3-25). I'd love to know what is

Help with latest Blood Test
Hello, I’m hoping someone can give some advice on latest blood test please. I am on 100mgs Levothyroxine. I did trial T3 but didn’t notice much difference by taking T3really. Im not sure if this is because I wasn’t on a high enough dose of L4 at the start of trialing it. I have taken the D1o2 test

Interaction of Statins with other medicine
Just looking for some guidance - is there any known interaction between statins and other medicine that one needs to be aware of? I am mostly interested in the usual stuff like antibiotics or vitamins, or stuff you usually get at the pharamacy for when you are under weather for minor conditions. Given

Antibiotic for UTI
I have been prescribed nitrofurantoin from my surgery for my UTI. Bearing in mind they don’t acknowledge that I have a b12 deficiency, should I be taking them? I did mention it to the triage nurse I spoke. I started B12 injections a couple of weeks ago, so hoping it won’t cause me any problems, but

Hike in T-Score due to steroid use. Worrying.
Hi All, just yesterday I finally got results from my DEXA .scan which I had done on 3rd of April. My T Score was T-2.3 (osteopina). My last DEXA scan showed my T-Score as -1.7 and deemed to be ok. This is quite a hike and I'm quite upset by i seeing that T-2.5 is Osteoporosis. I am Prednisolone

needle size for IM injection?
just wanted to know what needle size I should be using? I am not sure what size the gp was using and was concerned the ones I am using may be a bit to short. I say this as although I am using the same b12 they do, it’s seeming less effective than when I had them through my gp.

Medicheck results – help please
Today I received my results from Medichecks in preparation for my consultation with Roseway Labs next week.

Warfarin and B12 injections?
Could anyone tell me if oral anticoagulation treatment has caused them any issues with B12 injections please? My father is on Warfarin for long-standing atrial fibrillation although I suspect that it was/is actually a B12 problem. He needs injections (family metabolism failure) but his doctor is uninterested

Error but not a mistake
Having added Thiamine B1 and having it positive I regulated the changes by reducing the amount of times per day I supplemented. That was not an error. I did make the error of not quickly going back to my 5 times a day of supplementing. I do not consider it a mistake as how would I know? With the new

More test results to understand
I have now seen an endocrinologist and had another set of tests. My TSH is not measurable at < 0.02, my FT4 is within range at 20.9 (11-22.7) and my FT3 is 5.9 (3.5 -6.5), much higher than it has ever been before. My previous results on 15/04 were TSH 0.02, FT4 23.6 (12-22), FT3 4.7 (3.1-6.8). These

Negative Reply from GP
I wrote to my GP advising the fact I had an iron infusion and hade started EOD B12 injections, etc. and asking if I could have the B12 ampoules on prescription. Needless to say I didn’t really expect them to say yes, and they didn’t surprise me! However I am very angry that they won’t accept the fact
