Active B12 29 (37.5-150)
These are my student daughter's results. She is at uni in Edinburgh and struggling to find g.p. practice to take her on. She has an iron panel coming too but sample haemolised so have to redo it. These are first blood tests and she is not taking any supplements. Please advise on thoughts and next

Antibiotic for UTI
I have been prescribed nitrofurantoin from my surgery for my UTI. Bearing in mind they don’t acknowledge that I have a b12 deficiency, should I be taking them? I did mention it to the triage nurse I spoke. I started B12 injections a couple of weeks ago, so hoping it won’t cause me any problems, but

Bench mark blood tests before switching to NDT
I would welcome any comments or advice on these results and on the process of switching from levothyroxine to NDT. Thank you! Hypothyroidism I have been taking levothyroxin 100 mg for over 30 years since my early 40s. (This is my only medication. Otherwise I keep healthy with yoga, regular exercise

Hike in T-Score due to steroid use. Worrying.
Hi All, just yesterday I finally got results from my DEXA .scan which I had done on 3rd of April. My T Score was T-2.3 (osteopina). My last DEXA scan showed my T-Score as -1.7 and deemed to be ok. This is quite a hike and I'm quite upset by i seeing that T-2.5 is Osteoporosis. I am Prednisolone

needle size for IM injection?
just wanted to know what needle size I should be using? I am not sure what size the gp was using and was concerned the ones I am using may be a bit to short. I say this as although I am using the same b12 they do, it’s seeming less effective than when I had them through my gp.

HelloI have asked for advice previously in relation to my mum. She has been taking levo 25 for a while now. We have managed to get a new test completed and her TSH has increased quite a lot. FT3/4 at the lower end of range. She is also deficient in B12. We have been waiting a while for these so as

ET + Anagrelide
Is anyone taking Angrelide and dealing with side effects? I have ET+CALR, became resistant to Hydrea and couldn't tolerate the side effects of Interferon. Now that I'm on Anagrelide (0.5mg twice a day) my platelets are in the 600,000's and I seem to tolerate it ok. However I deal with rapid heartbeats

Warfarin and B12 injections?
Could anyone tell me if oral anticoagulation treatment has caused them any issues with B12 injections please? My father is on Warfarin for long-standing atrial fibrillation although I suspect that it was/is actually a B12 problem. He needs injections (family metabolism failure) but his doctor is uninterested

Advice on Blood Test Results
Hi Everyone Sorry for long post. I am so confused now. These are my thyroid blood test results, unfortunately I never know when the district nurse if coming out to do the blood test so I can’t leave the recommended 24hrs between Levothyroxine and blood test. I took my Levothyroxine at between

Error but not a mistake
Having added Thiamine B1 and having it positive I regulated the changes by reducing the amount of times per day I supplemented. That was not an error. I did make the error of not quickly going back to my 5 times a day of supplementing. I do not consider it a mistake as how would I know? With the new

More test results to understand
I have now seen an endocrinologist and had another set of tests. My TSH is not measurable at < 0.02, my FT4 is within range at 20.9 (11-22.7) and my FT3 is 5.9 (3.5 -6.5), much higher than it has ever been before. My previous results on 15/04 were TSH 0.02, FT4 23.6 (12-22), FT3 4.7 (3.1-6.8). These

Negative Reply from GP
I wrote to my GP advising the fact I had an iron infusion and hade started EOD B12 injections, etc. and asking if I could have the B12 ampoules on prescription. Needless to say I didn’t really expect them to say yes, and they didn’t surprise me! However I am very angry that they won’t accept the fact

Folate/B12 advice
Folate - Serum 7.4 ug/L (>7)Vitamin B12 150 nmol/L (37.5 - 188) How can I get my folate up? I'm assuming it's way too low? I've been taking Thorne Basic B Complex or Liposomal B Complex daily for ages, plus a B12 spray occasionally if I forget. Should I take a seperate folate supplement?
