My vitamin b12 level is 316pg/ml and I was injected with neurobion injection 2 months ago.Now I should receive the injection again.

The TSH level is only a guide and the question to ask is 'how do you feel'? Are you well or do you still have clinical symptoms?

[naveed123]

ok thanks for guidance.Tell me about my vitamin b12 level which is 316pg/ml and the reference range is 100- 893pg/ml. I was injected neurobion injection 9 weeks ago.Should I injected the neurobion injection.

what is the deal? do you have thyroid nodules? Radioactive iodine is used to treat HYPERthyroidism, so what is going on?

[helvella Administrator in reply to estrellaliliana]

The poster, naveed123, is hypothyroid because of radio-active iodine treatment. RAI was not given for hypothyroidism.

Estrellaliliana,

Once the thyroid has been destroyed by RAI previously hyperthyroid Graves patients become hypothyroid when they're no longer able to produce FT4 and FT3 and have to take Levothyroxine.

[estrellaliliana in reply to Clutter]

yes I know that, it's obvious, but to me the way she said it it sounded like she's being treated simultaneously with both things, that's why I thought there was something wrong or she was confused.
