stopping vitamins before tests
hi everyone, I can’t remember if I have to stop my vitamin b12 and D before doing my medichecks test - the one that tests for t3, t4, tsh, folate, b12, D, ferritin and inflammation. I’m taking the vitamins in spray form now so no biotin - is there any other reason I have to stop before testing? Thanks

Blood Pressure Medication
Unfortunately I now have to start BP medication and GP can only seem to find capsules. As I have problems with Acacia Powder and Cellulose and these seem to be in all BP medication, GP has not found me ones I can take after seeming to look for the last fortnight. Is there anyone on this forum who

I just finished a successful 14 day trial. Injecting 2 mg 5 times a day including setting an alarm is a different world for me and trials are definitave in 14 days not like when I was under supplementing and it was 30 days and I was pretty sure the trial was positive. I made a rational increase of

Iron Infusions
Hi all, just wondering if anyone in this group has ever had an iron infusion? When I was first diagnosed with my B12 deficiency, they also found that my vitamin D was deficient and my iron was only just in normal. Vitamin D is now fine on the daily tablets, but I've been struggling for about 18 months

Private Blood Test Results
Hello, Diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 2019, it was a long and sickly road to diagnosis and treatment. Levothyroxine only didn’t work for me and after a couple of not so great endo appointments I finally found a really good endocrinologist who agreed to add in liothyronine and commenced me on 20mcg

diabetes & B12 Deficiency
Hi all, for the last 4 months I’ve been on the B12 deficiency (possibly PA) path and have assumed that eventually the B12 injections will make me feel better. I’ve had all the classic symptoms. I’ve had the 6 loading doses, 2 further jabs at 6 weeks apart and I’m now on a 4 weekly regime with the UK

B12 injections out of stock for a long time
My last post was regarding this but I don’t know what date that was. Versandapo.de and Apohealth.de have been out of stock with the Panpharma B12 for a long time. I have given my email address to Versandapo and they said they will contact me when back in stock but it’s been a couple of months (since

Any suggestions please.
Hello. I wonder if you would be kind enough to give me your views on my latest results please. I currently take 100mcg thyroxine at bedtime. My GP withdrew my T3 ( 5mcg) around 5 years ago. Apparently it doesn't work and was too expensive. I feel dreadful. I'm underweight with a BMI of 18 and on top

B12 over 4000 with injections, any need to worry?
Hello lovely people, I've been SI 1500ug twice weekly since mid December as a bit of an experiment to see if it would help my symptoms, many which are neuro. Not officially diagnosed as B12 deficient as my blood tests before were all fine but I was heavily supplementing so not really possible to say

Courage
There seems to be a misconception that it takes courage to make the rational choices I make with regards to my self treatment. I am guessing it is a projection of others fears which I do not have. It only took about 6 months for me to firmly establish that those in the medicial field were very comfortable

Which Brand B12 NHS injections please ?
My NHS surgery use Gerot Lannach and boy do they sting ! 😲 Had a conversation with the nurse doing the injection today, who is more than happy (.......to the point of being over excited ! ) to fight on our behalf to change to a different, non stinging brand, if I can give her some suggestions of what

friend with MS… interesting parallels
hi just sharing as this intrigued me. Visited a friend I haven’t seen for 12 years recently, she moved away. She was diagnosed with MS just before she left and talking to her I learned the following. MS support group recommended loading dose of 40,000 iu Vit D then 8,000 a day more in winter. This

Doctor recommendation needed
Hi All, After a year of painful meetings liaising with my NHS endocrinologist, I had enough. She reluctantly prescribed T3 but did not really bother about following up or testing vitamins or overall health. My GP tries but he is clueless on thyroid related issues other than where normal TSH should be

Do MDD have the time to look at the research that's going on in treating Parkinsons?Do they dismiss anything that's not peer reviewed. e.g My wife who's being treated for Parkinsons, has for the past year, suffered, leg/ calf cramp, wher she has to stop a few times and basically try and stretch it off
