Folate supplements with B12 injections
I am currently receiving loading doses (3 so far). I was low on B12 at 170 and low on folate (about 2) as well as macrocytic but not anaemic. Incidentally, I have low WBC but they are not sure if this is due to a bad infection a couple of months ago.I have been prescribed folate supplements but I didn't

Do Drs get a bonus for prescribing certain drugs ?
Does anybody know if Gps get a hand out for prescribing statins ? There has been a lot of controversy in regard to this topic. Late yesterday afternoon I had a call from my surgery. It was a Dr I had never heard of or had I spoken to her before. She was suggesting I were put on statins! I asked for

Pushing to hard/pacing
Going on 7 months of 4 injections a day am now working on how hard I feel I can push before the benefits to my health outweigh the results. When in the throes of B12 deficiency I did not push too hard as I only did what was necessary to get by. When working with medical staff and only on 1mg a day

I have had symptoms of weight gain, hair loss, struggle to lose weight, low mood fatigue etc for a while. I had my bloods done in 2021 and my T4 was 11.5 and my TSH was around 2.5 ( they didn’t test T3. Have just had private tests and have input them into the calculator but am having trouble interpreting

Is this low B12 / folate?
Hi all! Curious if anyone can advise please- I am fatigued (really struggle at work), brain fog, aches and pains - have been taking HRT for few months but not cured it! Also stable levothyroxine for many years and have Psoriasis although mild. Wondering if I should ask GP for further investigation

Methotrexate & over heating
Hi all, I've been taking Methotrexate after dinner on a Wednesday evening for three weeks now and I've been finding that I get super warm doing anything from around Friday lunchtime to Monday/Tuesday. I take the Folic Acid on Thursday evening. I also take a bunch of other drugs including anticonvulsants

Last year I was on MTX 10mg and folic acid 5mg six days a weekend apart from hair loss was ok with it.

Opinions Please
Hi I have just had my results from Medicheck. I followed all the recommendations, 9am test, no Levothyroxin for 24 hours, no Biotin for a week. I am currently taking 75 mg Levothyroxin, Vitamin D3, Methyl Folate & Thorne Basic B Complex. I am considering adding 25 mg Levothyroxin 3 times a week

Pink Tribe/Vita Blossom B12 complex v Health Leads
For months I’ve been taking PT or VB but decided to try Health Leads on a recommendation but guess what(?!!), my urine has taken on that bright yellow colour and familiar odour of the types of B12 product I’d stopped taking. Does this mean it’s an inferior product and I’m just peeing it down the loo

Blood Test Results Help Please
I have just got my blood test results back. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos Thyroiditis in 1994. My TSH is low & my T4 is low in the range. The lab refused to test my T3. My Folate is low & I feel my B12 is at the low end of the range (to feel well). My GP has just texted me re the Folate, but ignored
