Vitamin D3

Hi team, My question is: How effective is Actenol 5mg daily in reversing Osteopenia and in what timeframe and by how much - does anyone have real-life examples? Thankyou in advance. I am a 59 year old male. I broke my shoulder last year in a low speed dirt motorbike fall, so 12 months ago I had

Hi all, I've been having chronic migraines since catching COVID in 2022. I had a bad run of 7 migraines over a week, 9 and a half weeks ago. Which led to the room shaking constantly, whether my eyes are open or closed. The room shaking is one of my signs a migraine is coming on for me, and this time

Hi everyone I've recently had my first consult with a recommended Endo on TUK list and also some people in my local thyroid group. Mostly good reviews but one person unhappy with him. He's putting me on NDT as says I'm not converting FT4 to FT3 as I suspected. So sorry its so long, I've tried to ask

I know to take Levo on an empty stomach, but how long do you recommend to leave between food and T4? I usually take mine before bedtime (10.30pm), but I run into problems because I like to have the odd glass of wine at night. I assume this will interfere with absorption? What is the latest I can eat

Hello 👋 members , I just wanted to pop back and say thank you all for commenting on my posts regarding my John who has primary hyperparathyroidism . My goodness we didn’t have a very good experience today at local doctors 🙈 He wasn’t concerned with blood pressure and wasn’t going to do a referral

Hi everyone, I have had my repeat bloods and everything has come back ‘satisfactory’. I know that doesn’t mean optimal but I also know I’m going to have a hard time convincing the doctor that! I had my free T4 and anti bodies tested at the hospital when I saw the consultant last week, I have requested

For anyone interested, this is a mention of some new thoughts on the impact of nutrition, B12 and homocysteine on dementia. From the authors of What Doctors Don't Tell You magazine. https://subs.wddty.com/cr/AQiNvRUQ25wVGMShuS_0TU_VPfzFgVSR_DQgHDYUiZD2f4H9oer0bOH3Y1-GSQ

Hi All, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis earlier this year - early July. I had an DEXA Scan in late June! My osteoporosis is due to my age as I'm now menopausal - haven't had a period in last few years. I also have epilepsy & many epilepsy medications can affect how the body absorbs vitamin D as it

Hi everyone, please can you advise me on Methylfolate capsules. I am currently taking Terra Nova folate tablets. Does anyone else take this brand and is it a good one? Can anyone please give me the name of a really good brand that you are taking. Thank you so much

Good morning all has been a worrying time for me lately. I have just been through a cancer 2WW for colonoscopy due to high amount of blood in Q-Fit stool test.. Thankfully colonoscopy showed 2 polyps, diverticulitis and haemeroids. GP rushed me in about 3 weeks ago to look at a weird rash which suddenly

I know the whole subject of alcohol whilst on B12 injections has probably been debated to death but is it really that bad? Can it actually do any real harm to have a couple of glasses of wine. Yes, it may slow down the recovery process slightly, but surely it wont cause the healing to stop altogether

Hi Guys I need cheering up please. As you know I was dx with PA by my GP in Oct 2022 with a B12 0f 106 ng/L. Vitamin D and folate were also rock bottom. I had lots of symptoms including neurological symptoms such as heart palpitations, pins and needles, visual disturbances, facial neuralgia, extreme

I have recently received my blood test results and have been asked to make an appointment to discuss them. My TSH level is normal but my T4 is 11.2 it was 11.8 in December also my serum folate is 2.0 and it should be 3.9 - 26.8 I feel absolutely awful I am so exhausted constantly, is this looking like

I have found someone who understand PA ! My new dentist. I have had PA since 2015 and this is only the second person. The other was a physiotherapist whose sister had it. I broke a tooth and had to see a different partner in the practice and told her I had PA and she said " oh dear, that is difficult

Hello All I'd really appreciate some advice on my latest test results below. Since my last post a few months back I've started taking Metavive II - one in the morning and one at lunchtime. I've been on a pretty strict PK diet, B12 by SI, magnesium by SI, eating liver min once a week, quit working for

Greetings to fellow thyroid sufferers! Weight loss of 1.5 stones since the start of the year sent me off to my GP surgery. After numerous tests the only thing that showed up was a thyroid problem. Tests were repeated a week later to confirm. Apart from the weight loss my symptoms are bowel movts

Hello everyone, took the suggestion of this wonderful group and got some private bloods done before my next gp review . The online gp stated that my thyroxine dose of 50 mcg were working well for me and vits were excellent. That’s doesn’t really match how I feel day to day although much better than before

Hi ladies I wondered whether you had your babies vaccinated at week 8. Why did you go for it and for those that decided against vaccinations, would you mind sharing as to why? My little boy is 8 weeks tomorrow. He has had the vitamin k injection when he was born and I've had the whopping cough vaccine
