self injecting problem
I posted before about fracturing my shoulder and couldn't self inject one handed, found out that the local pharmacist do B12 injections which solved my problem. Though I should point out I think they would adhere to the NICE recommendations of every 3 months and you obviously have to pay for it,

B12 expiry date
Hi all. I have around 20 vials of B12 and have just checked the expiry date. It is the end of this month! 🙄Is the expiry date fixed, or am I able to use them safely for a period of time after the expiry date? I assume the effectiveness of the B12 may be compromised after the expiry date? 🤔

Interesting
At least I think so. I have started to experience the pins and needles of Paresthesia. I have never experienced this symptom before. It does not worry me as it is likely the result of my healing with effective self treatment and it is reasonable to assume it will be resolved. I did make the error of

Biotin
Hi please can you tell me how much biotin would affect blood test results. I am waiting for a doctors appointment , they have told me it will be between 2 and 4 weeks, but could be sooner. I am currently taking B complex supplement which contains biotin. I know the guideline is don't take for 7 days.

Orchiectomy
I have metastatic cp to the bone. I have been on Lupron Xtandi and Hi dose Vitamin C for the last 19 months my current PSA is <0.1 and has been for the last 6 months. I am 83 years old and am in reasonable good health, other than pc. I have read that having an orchiectomy would yield longer life. Also

How can you get homocysteine test on NHS
I’ve had an under active thyroid for many years and now I think may be B12 deficient too. Also have high blood pressure. I’ve been doing a lot of research recently and read about the importance of homocysteine. I had it tested privately about six years ago and it was at the “high end of normal” then

Kinds of CBD?
I ordered CBD from a doctor who advertises on TV. Possibly Dr Oz but not sure. What came in the mail was CBD gummies and CBD oil. The gummies have 10mg CBD per chewie while the oil has 300mg per ml. I know oils tend to go stale if left on the shelf too long. For olive oil I add one Vitamin E

side effects of Adderall
hi all, I was wondering if anyone had their child on Adderall and experienced their kid’s behavior getting worse. I initially had my 5 yr old son on low dose 2.5mg Ritalin for 1 week and a half but it didn’t last as long during the school day. The dr switched him to Adderall this past week and my son

PA and oral B12 supplements
I have recently been diagnosed with PA and I’ve had an initial booster course of 6x B12 injections with a plan for 3 monthly injections for life (based, I understand, on local UK NHS protocols, or how my GP has interpreted them). I was therefore wondering if there is any benefit in taking oral B12
