Sigh. Sigh. Sigh.

Got a call from doc. Well good news is that my liver is fine.

I had few well targeted tests which costed pretty much nothing which by the way angers me as these tests proved the fact that I am not healthy!!!

I am now recommend to take B12 with B6 as my homocysteine was very high. Low prealbumin without liver disease is considered caused by low amino acids that I will need to take as simply eating loads of meat isn't healthy option nor simple option.

Thyroglobulin was checked to see how much iodine I need. It's far more cheaper test than urine, but often correlates iodine levels very well.

I just want to scream and yell. If these tests were so easy to take, cheap and telling the truth about nutritional status why , why in the world it has been do difficult to loads of doctors. Especially when I have told about my tendency to lose weight, intolerances and symptoms :( Pffft.

Is the low prealbumin messing up my thyroid levels?

Anyone else in similar situation?

please take a look at the PAS forum on HU in relation to B12.

The process that breaks down homocysteiene involves 3 vitamins - B9, B12 and B6.

You can overdose on B6 quite easily (neurological problems) - recommended upper daily dose varies from 12.5mcg in UK to 100mcg in US
