Help with vitamins
My ferritin and B12 keep going down despite the fact that I take supplements. Since being diagnosed with Hypothyroidism, Coeliac and SIBO they were steadily going up - I got my ferritin from 2 to 75, but in the last year it’s gone down to 39. My B12 is at 318 and was almost 500 a year ago. Does anyone

Need advice understanding results
Hi, I’m after some advice, I’m a 40 year old male and this year I’ve not been feeling great.

Newly diagnosed with PMR and thank you for all the info here
Hi everyone, I received a firm-ish diagnosis of PMR this morning, after a 1-week trial on prednisone that greatly reduced my symptoms. I’d say I’m about 60 to 70% better compared to a week ago, if one can really assign numbers to such things. I still have a slight burning in my arms but not painful

Medichecks vs. NHS Results
Hi all. I'm wondering whether FlipperTD or indeed anyone else with some technical know-how, can make sense of my blood results. I've recently gained access to my GP records and can see that I've had low ferritin for at least 4 years. Levels have ranged from 17ng/L to 27ng/L on a range of (10

Bloating and thyroxine hormone absorption
Would bloating of the digestive system after some liquid medication I have been given for an infection affect the T4 tablet absorbtion? I am also avoiding lactose and have noticed an improvement in the absorption but I have not managed gluten at the moment due to trying to recover. I know T4 is absorbed

self injecting and wondering what else I should be taking?
As per the title I am self injecting and was taking a really strong Folate 1000ug but then someone told me if you take to much folate it masks b12 deficiency ? I am wondering what I should be taking and what doses. Not just peoples opinions but scientifically proven.

How long did frequent urination take to stop once you were injecting every other day?
So as some have experienced and will know frequent urination is quite a common issue for this lack B12 (please no one reply saying it’s an infection it’s not I’ve had very expensive tests and hundreds of antibiotics) in February I had 6 loading doses and I swear by 5-6 one all my urination issues cleared

blood test needed
Quick question group - is it good practice to get a GP blood test (stating NO to B12 test as of IM) yearly for someone with AG PA? (Also take complex B12 supplements so being conscious about skewing results). What bloods should I ask for ? The usual group ? Many thanks

Needle colour and gauge advice.
Hi, been IM injecting for a while now. I use the green needle to draw the B12 and use the orange needle to inject. I’d like to use a finer needle to inject and wondered what colour and “G” I should buy. I use medisave many thanks 😊

Hi I've just had a range of bloods done by my Gp as I'm feeling so tired and keep falling a sleep during the day. They all look OK apart from low end for calcium and my ggt liver one. Which could be because of antibiotics I'm permanently on for my cuti or my gallbladder which I'm waiting to be removed

Anyone had an iron infusion
My husband has CLL and has a problem with low B12 and folate. His ferritin is also stubbornly low for which he’s been recommended an iron infusion for deficiency anaemia and injections for his B12 deficiency I’m ok about the B12 injections but for some reason feel a bit nervous about the infusion but

urge to urinate, with pink in pee
Had an iron infusion and started B12 injections EOD a week ago, and today have strange sensation in bladder and sudden urge to pee, and it was pink. I have read that extra b12 can cause this. What are peoples experiences. I hope it is just excess B12 and nothing more sinister.
