Hey Houston we have a problem!
After Helen's last set of results we decided to take things into our own hands and start with some supplements after a long discussion with Greygoose and Jaydee 1507 we have been useing the following: 1. Magnesium Bisgycinate which has been changed to Magnesium Citrate as Helen became bound up, However

Can levo cause low FT3?
Hi I am hypothyroid with Hashimoto’s, suspect both for decades but never tested/ treated until 2 years ago. I also took private tests at the same time and whilst my TSH and FT4 were both around 8, my FT3 was optimal. I was put on levo by GP and titrated to 100mcg but last autumn got worse, (also privately

Purchasing Hydroxocobalamin Ampoules UK
Hello All, Just wondering if anyone can advise where is the best place to source hydroxocobalamin vials from in the UK, please (plus syringes)? I found a website which was really reasonably priced (£13 something for 5 vials), then discovered that was only if you were a registered pharmaceutical practice

Optimal Dose For Oral B12 In a Test To Replace Injections.
Having been self injecting for a year now and in a good place, with all cofactors applied, I’m wanting to test myself in increasing the gap between EOD injections and when I feel symptoms returning to then introduce oral supplementation. So if someone can, maybe from experience, recommend an optimal

Active B12 better, do I reduce injections?
I started on hydroxocobalamin injections EOD at the end of May, plus cofactors. I have recently done a Medichecks test which showed my folate and Active B12 are now in good range - will post in comments. I wouldn’t say any of my symptoms are gone, some have improved very slightly. Dr Klein thinks I can

Ropinirole and dizziness
Hi all, I’ve just joined this forum. Thank you all from a desperate woman! I’m currently taking 0.5mg of ropinirole every night. I was on a higher dose of Pramipexole - I tried to come off it without understanding the withdrawal effects. After two weeks of no sleep at all I was broken went to the gp

Usual diagnosis problems
Hello all, first post, but been reading for a while. I seem to be in the usual position, I think I have B12 deficiency but my doctors think otherwise. My initial bloods gave a B12 of 320, but I was taking supplements at the time, and although this falls in the indeterminate zone the GP says I do not

I just had a follow-up with my GP (the unicorn one) - she’s been gobsmacked at my progress on the more regular B12.

going on holidays on plane with b12 ampoules and needles etc
I was diagnosed PA 20 years ago. and had monthly injections. I moved to England and new surgery. After blood tests I was reduced to every 3 months. Then when Covid happened I was told to get the b12 lozenges from chemist. I knew I was going backwards and all the initial symptoms returned so I started

GP expressed concern about hypothyroid after a recent blood test, a couple of questions if anyone is kind enough to take the time to read
Hello, I have recently had a blood test after visiting my gp with pains in my right leg (which I have had since the birth of my son 13 years ago) that had travelled and become more persistent, as well as pain and numbness in my right arm leading to a cold hand. A full blood test has shown my folate

please help how many ml is 2500 micrograms in an ampule
hello all, I received ampules for the first time from b12 store.com and they came in 2,500 mcg per ampule. I inject 1 ml normally of methyl b12 from a vile and this is the first time I used an ampule from this supplier. I was thinking I will just fill up 1 ml on the shot and fill up another if I'm correct

DBS cancelled due to improvement of UDPRS measurement
Hello all, I am new here and wanted to share my story. In Feb. 2018, my left foot started to drag and for many years before my left arm would not swing. I probably had this symptom for years and considered it my normal way of walking. It has been 7 years with increasing dosages of levodopa. Throughout

Primary bilery cirrhosis and PA caused by Gastritis (autoimmune type).
I have not been treated well by my GP. I am symptomatic for B12 deficiency as well as a family history of PA (4 generations). My GP will not give me the Holo-TC test, only the standard B12 test which, as you are all aware is more than useless when you suspect server B12 deficiency. The latest test results

Still fighting for a diagnosis B12, PA

Transitioning to Armour Thyroid
Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid at 21 and I've also got Hashimoto's. I recently changed from Levo/T3 to Armour, under the guidance of a lovely private endo, and I'm currently on three and a half grains per day, split into two doses. I wondered if anyone else has had side effects

High Calcium score AND CAD
Hi Friends I’m trying to figure something out but Dr Google isn’t helping much because it’s full of contradictions and my cardiologist isn’t really answering my questions in a way that makes any sense. Got a very high CAC score 944, and CAD in 5 arteries. Mild to moderate. No procedures at this point
