Thorne Basic B Alternative
Good morning team! I started taking Thorne Basic B yesterday and I am not reacting well to it. My private blood results should be back today and I'll hold off purchasing anything else until then but I was hoping someone could recommend a complex with lower dosages, please? I don't know if it's the

Any tips for Natural Modified FET (boost lining)?
Hi everyone, I have a persistent thinnish lining (around 6 to 7mm) after an episode of abnormal bleeding between periods (turned out to be silent endo and a polyp that did not show up on ultrasound). Before that, 11mm was my average. After failing a recent FET, my doctor decided to monitor my lining

Blood Test Results
Hi I have trouble getting a GP appointment - in that I never get one. Test results are relayed via the receptionist so never any opportunity to ask questions. This is the latest test and as a result I've been told to vary my dose (normally 125mcg) taking 100mcg alternate days, 125mcg on the others.

I’ve just received my vitamin results. My ferritin is 52, serum vitamin b12 level 462 ng/l, serum folate level 16.5 ng/l (range 3-20), vitamin D 90. A year ago my ferritin was 48, vitamin b12 331 and folate 12.3. I’m disappointed my ferritin has only gone up by 4. I tried cutting tea out near meal

Good news - alendronic acid
Hi, I thought I would share some good news. Three years ago I was diagnosed with osteoporosis and started on alendronic acid with dome reluctance. After a rough first couple of weeks I got used to the medication. I modified my diet a bit, stsrting tsking Vit D and calcium, increased my BMI from 18.2

Any suggestions for how to improve my poos
Hello all. My apologies for the title of this post, but I didn’t know how to phrase it. I was diagnosed with GCA in January 2023 and have been on Prednisone ever since, along with other meds that are given to mitigate the side effects of the Pred. I also started Methotrexate this January. My first attempt

Eligard and bicalutamide.
Started eligard and bicalutamide post RP in 2018. Followed advice of urologist until 2022. New urologist took me off both after PSA of 0.01. Unfortunately, l did not receive advice about secondary effects of the above drugs-osteoporosis etc. A DEXA scan in 2022 revealed high possibility of bone fractures

Do I need to increase folic acid/folate intake with B12 shots?
Hello all, I am within one week of taking daily b12 injections as a loading dose. A group on Facebook advise a protocol of taking 5mg of folic acid daily as it is a cofactor for b12. I get that part but I’m checking whether it’s necessary to take such a high amount of folic acid if, prior to starting

Alcohol and B12/folate deficiency
Just wondering if any of you lovely people avoid alcohol? I haven't felt much like drinking recently but when I have, I feel absolutely awful the next day. Just wondering if it's just extra pressure on the body that makes me feel bad or if there's a proven connection I haven't come across yet? Thanks

long term omeprazole use
I was taking omeprazole for about 15 years and stopped in December last year, as I had done some research and found out it can affect stomach acid. No one told me to stop taking it. I don’t even know why I was put on it in the first place, up I think it was for IBS. I haven’t had any acid reflux or indigestion

Origin of Loading
Does anyone know the origin of the practice of prescribing loading doses? For lack of better information I have been using the assumption that it is a hol over from when B12 was first synthesized over 1/2 a century ago. That the practice originated when B12 deficiency was thought to be a hematological

Hi, I was diagnosed with PA in 2013/14 and was given injections for a while but that stopped a good few years ago. I had tests done via Endo a while back and they said my levels were fine despite no injections/supplements. I had tests done in May 2023 and the active b12 came back as high. It showed
