Experiences with

Vitamin C

Hello I have just had the latest results of dexa scan and the doctor said the spine shows a signficant decrease from the last scan. The last scan a few years ago was -3.1 in the lumbar spine and is now -3.4. The left hip is stable but the right hip has deteriorated but this is due to be replaced in November

Hi all I’ve addressed a thyroid issue - Hashimotos, with the help from the thyroid site. I’m still experiencing fatigue. I am in meno/post menopausal stage. Symptoms do over lap, but have suspected B12 issue for some time. Tend to get low active B12 results. Lots of B12 symptoms. Dr not interested,

Long story but I have had a couple of head MRIs due to lesions that are perpendicular in nature. To check if they have increased. I had access to my own scans so I knew that they were checking for MS. As I could read the medical terminology. But my GP (newish to me) never told me. I don't know why, it

Hello! I was diagnosed with low B12 following a blood test in December last year, on injections but only had 3 of the 6 loading doses then was moved on to one every three months due to severe side effects that worried my GP. Had my first of the 3 monthly ones a few weeks ago and all went well. I saw

Hi I’m going to see Dr Klein in Cambridge as recommended by some of you guys, he has sent links to order theses products from Medisave Sharpsguard yellow 2.5ltr sharps bin professional 70% Alcohol IPA Pre- Injection Swabs x 100 BD Discardit 2 ml Concentric Tip Syringe 2 Piece x 100

Hi everyone. I'm in a conundrum. My youngest daughter, 17, has low B12 (181ng/L, so not low enough for our GP to take any notice), inherited from me (141ng/L and now self-injecting) and her grandmother (hospitalised on intravenous B12 for several months in the '50s). She has quite low folate at 5.5.

I’ve been taking Better you vitamin d for three months and my levels haven’t improved at all. I was surprised that it was so low in the first place, as I spent a month in Australia in September and would have thought I’d got enough exposure to the sun. I would be grateful for any thoughts and advice

Has anyone sought an explanation from their gp as to why if you have caused b12 deficiency by the deliberate use of nitrous oxide that the NHS sanctions the use of b12 injections. Self administered. Daily!! Even providing an instruction video to show how easy and convenient it is to do. I can only

Hi! I have no idea what is going on with me. I have been Si daily and twice daily sometimes for 6 mths now and am taking all cofactors.My blood tests have come back today with high MCH and MCV has climbed. I had a c vaccine a mth ago and every thing flared up exhaustion neuropathy etcblurred vision

I see on other posts that an early morning blood test before 09:00hrs is suggested for an accurate reading. I went to have bloods taken yesterday morning at 08:55hrs for ferritin. My phlebotomist found that my blood flow was a bit on the slow side... but ok for the lab test. She thought she might have

This was posted on the Pernicious Anaemia Society forum - but I thought it might be of interest to the many here who have inflammation. [i]News Release 17-Oct-2023[/i] [i]B12 deficiency: a hidden trigger of inflammation?[/i] [i]Peer-Reviewed Publication[/i] [i]Society of Chemical Industry[

there is /was so much to think about when I got the Gleason 9 diagnosis after 18 months of being told don’t worry it not high risk and so had failed HIFU. Stupid of me ! I got, with great difficulty a DEXA scan one month after starting LHRH agonist goserelin. No one told me I needed it, and given

Is it safe to switch between different types of B12 injections? For example, one month I take the hydroxocobalamin injection and the next month i take the methylcobalamin injection? I feel better with methylcobalamin , but I’m only prescribed the hydroxocobalamin but I’m thinking to take methylcobalamin

sorry my brain is mush. I have read a lot of posts, tried Dr Google etc. I could do with a really basic explanation to help understand what my Endo is likely to talk about this week re: Levo dosing. what I think I know… Levo replaces what’s missing, T4. This results in lower TSH and higher T3 (assuming

I’ve just received results of private test because surgery has reduced levothyroxine from 75mcg to 50mcg. Please see below. I would welcome some advice before I approach anyone. Jan 30 TSH 0.23 (0.27-4.2) T4 17.7 (10.5-24.5) At this point doctor wanted me to reduce to 50mcg but I confessed that

My 30-year-old daughter has been struggling for an extended period with excessive sweating, frequent tonsillitis and bronchitis difficult to treat, waking up puffy, water retention, anxiety attacks, low stress tolerance, light sensitivity, brain fog, exhaustion, and weight gain, despite a strict

I've read some posts that say VIT-D supplementation is bad for men with PCa. Does anyone have any papers or references that support this position? Thanks, Bob

Dear All, I would be very grateful for others experiences whilst on a weekly Biologic prefilled and weekly Methotrexate tablets with Folic Acid 5mg 6 days a week. My daughter is 32 years old and having a Laparoscopy Operation to remove bilateral ovarian dermoid cysts on 16 May. When should she come

Long story short, I’ve been feeling very tired for months (even years) to the point that I needed to take a nap in the afternoon on some days as my brain wouldn’t allow me keep going. I also started noticing trembling, tingling, pins and needles and headaches/migraines. I reached the point that I was

I know we shouldn’t take other tablets or vitamins close to thyroxine, but is a meal replacement shake made from pea protein okay to drink an hour after thyroxine? is that different to vitamins as it’s food? Also, do we really have to avoid soya? I can’t have diary and most other protein shakes
