Hi have you recently increased your dose? Tell me a bit more ..I may be able to advise as I'm on lyothiorine too

[flashinthepan in reply to lola1956]

yes i just increased it to 10mg

but i got low b12 and very low vit d and high iron

[Marz in reply to flashinthepan]

Your B complex will not give you adequate levels of B12 - so you need to try a good one like Jarrow methycobalamin 1000mcg and take one twice a day. Chew and hold under the tongue for as long as possible. Do you have absorption problems ? I have read that smoking and drinking can lower B12 levels - as can mal-absorption - and other things too.

I have ordered some yesterday so have to wait until after new year.

i dont know if i have absorption problems hun

[Marz in reply to flashinthepan]

..if you have gut issues then that will affect your absorption of vital nutrients...Hope you are feeling better this morning.

Flash, I think you probably ought to ring 111 and seek some medical advice. There's a real possibility that something is going on here that has nothing to do with medication. The numbness we talk about with B12 deficiency and hypo symptoms doesn't have such a rapid onset. Hopefully you aren't alone this evening?

I agree.
