Hi, I was diagnosed with megaloblastic anaemia yesterday. My gp, sent over a prescription for Cyanocobalamin 1mg/1ml solution for injection ampoules. My pharmacy and other pharmacies don't stock it. I left a note for my doctor with the receptionist to ask for possibly a different brand or type. I'm new

Feeling dreadful but doc says results are fine!
Hi there, I was diagnosed with underactive thyroid back in July 2020. I was prescribed 25mg levothyroxine which was increased to 50mg after 6 months. Shortly after starting levothyroxine I started getting stiffness in my neck and shoulders along with pain in my hips and groin - the only way I can

Update after Endo
Good morning, I'm just writing this as an update to anyone who may be interested in my seemingly-odd case... My Endo appointment went well. (Or so I thought but if you're learning from this post, please read the comments!) She believes I have Graves disease, despite the antibodies indicating Hashimotos

Considering Conception & Ideal Thyroid Levels
Hi all. I finally saw an endocrinologist and they suggested increasing thyroxine dose by 20% when doing an embryo transfer to ensure adequate thyroxine. I asked about FT3 and FT4 levels but they were only interested in TSH which didn’t make sense given it only signals thyroid production and isn’t a thyroid

Eye issues related to hypothyroidism
Hi all, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in January of this year and started on 50mg levothyroxine. I’m having bloods every six weeks and working on my iron, vitamin D levels, folate and selenium. I’ll add my test results at the end for info. Overall I am feeling much better but I developed eye

hypothyroidism and peripheral neuropathy
I have hypothyroidism diagnosed in 2019 from a blood test with no symptoms that were recognised as such. I now believe, confirmed by advice in this forum, that my levo dose was too low, and have recently succeeded in getting it increased. At around the same time I developed aching, weakness and numbness

So who should I be angry with-
Myself for not catching this sooner. The pharmacy for not cross checking the drugs. Or the doctors. My hubby is taking a boat load of medication (like who isn’t when you have this disease). We have a spreadsheet of all the medications and we provide copies to
all the doctors

Adding calcium in order to strengthen bones
Hi. I have Stage IV Pca and on year 3 with Eligard and Xtandi (age 59)I've had a DEXA scan and my bones are not in the best shape due to Eligard. Getting zolendronic acid every 4 months I've just had a heart scan, and it seem like one of the blood vessels are starting to calcify. The doctors want me

Back to square one
My Dr checked my thyroid levels with some other blood tests without me knowing, so I had taken my T4 (50mcg) about an hour before! Based on the results, she said I was now fine and took me off the medication. I tried to argue saying it needed to be before my meds and she said that was wrong. I had always

Vitamin usage question
I am working on getting my vitamin levels in a better range. But, what happens when I hit that range? Do I continue with the same higher strength vitamins or do I need to find a different one for maintenance? Also, how often do I test Folate, vit d and b? I am taking very low iron and plan to test

How can I help my son?
Much to my dismay it seems my son has inherited autoimmune (no antibodies test done yet, but I think it is) hypothyroidism from me. I had suspected he was expressing the symptoms for some time, (he was very slim, seemingly blessed with a fast metabolism and I was on the alert that it might really be

chatgpt and diet
today I’ve been having some fun with my friend chatty. He (she?) is always friendly, never judgemental and free with the advice😅. So I gave it a detailed list of a typical days diet for us with quantities of each ingredient, and asked for a breakdown of nutrients including main vitamins, minerals,
