A weird dynamic.
When I make a positive change in my supplementation or activity there is a three day +- uptick as my body is getting more of what it needs. This is followed by a downturn of 5 +- days which I assume is my body healing which is hard on my body and I need a lot of rest. This dynamic was not apparent until

stomach polyps
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,

Risk of reversing out for A'levels
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.

It’s ok to be deficient if you inflicted it upon yourself..
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

Mum's battle
Hi all, Mum has suffered from adrenal insufficiency over the past 15 years, as well as pernicious anemia, hypothyroidism, low WBC count and was hospitalised several times with low electrolytes. The electrolyte imbalance was caused by the cortisol acetate supplement she takes. She was numerous doctors

Methyl or Hydro B12 injections - is it safe to switch between both each month?
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

So very grateful for Thyroid UK
I just have to express my gratitude to this forum and the admins who give of their time to help us who are or have been floundering with NHS input (or lack of input+even dismissiveness of our thyroid journey) with regard to our thyroid and other connected issues. My son will be 48 this year and that’

Help please in results interpretation of advanced function thyroid test
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

How long will this last for?
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

Bile Acid Diarrhoea
I have this condition and take colestyramine daily which controls it well. I recently asked my GP to have my fat soluble vitamins checked (A,D and K, I believe) in a blood test as this has not been checked in a long time. The email! came back saying there was no indication for this. The literature

dry eyes and mouth?
hi again all! I am very depleted in ferritin and am awaiting an infusion. I also started b12 injections 3 months ago for PA but I don’t think they’ve been often enough (1x/month). Also just got diagnosed with subclinical hashimotos (thyroid levels are still normal). I’m grasping at straws trying to

prostap, HRT and lap
Hey everyone. I had my lap done privately last year, gyno advised he couldn’t see anything. I took the images from surgery to one of the specialists on the endo website and they have advised they can see what they think is endo on my pelvic wall and I am currently on NHS waiting for my next laparoscopy

Bad batch of B12
Hi I'm just adding to the posts about bad batches of B12 - there's been a couple in the last month. I have self-injected since 2020 - originally every other day, increased to every day after having Covid in July 2021. Taking control has felt miraculous as I have been able to return to full-time

Ferritin, B12 and folate results
Hi all I’d be grateful for any advice on the following results and details of the best supplements to take if you think I should boost them? The ferritin seems particularly low (even if it is technically in range). I eat red meat and leafy greens but struggle with things like liver so I guess I’d

Private Endo recommendations please
I feel awful, I’m on 50mg of levo and have been for 5 years. Like many of you my TSH is only checked by the NHS and always considered “in range” In recent years when I’ve visited my GP about thyroid health, bloods are done and my thyroid gets lost in translation because I have too high Vit D and high
