I HAVE AN UNDERACTIVE THRYOID

[Wayne39]

I been getting Numbness and just uncomfortable feeling underneath the arch of my foot.

Would taking a Super B-Complex help with this?

[greygoose]

It might. And it might not. But, you'd be shooting yourself in the foot (no pun intended) (well, maybe just a little one…) if you started taking a B complex without getting your B12 and folate tested first.

[Wayne39 in reply to greygoose]

LOL I feel like doing that it may help

B12-509 NG/L

Serum folate-17.7 UG/L

[greygoose in reply to Wayne39]

They are good-ish results. But, you might just need more. Try it and see.

Or, how about magnesium? Might be worth trying that, too. But, don't start both at the same time, or you won't know which one is helping.

[Wayne39 in reply to greygoose]

I had Magnesium tested to as follows: 0.84

what do you think?

If this ones ok too then do I just need more thyroxine?

[greygoose in reply to Wayne39]

Absolutely no point in testing magnesium. It will always come back in-range, due to the way the body handles magnesium. But, that doesn't mean you aren't deficient. Most people are, because soils are depleted. And, being hypo, you stand a greater chance of being deficient. So, just take some. Excess is excreted, anyway.

[Wayne39 in reply to greygoose]

oh ok cool what dosage would you recommend?

shall I try that first before B-complex?

[greygoose in reply to Wayne39]

I take it Wayne is a man? So, you can take 400 mg magnesium. Entirely up to you which you try first. Maybe the B complex, as that was your first instinct.

[Wayne39 in reply to greygoose]

Well I say I'm a man lol my girlfriend says otherwise!

Not really first instinct I was just putting it out there really.

So maybe I will give the magnesium a crack shall I take it for say 3 months?

[greygoose in reply to Wayne39]

Sounds like a plan. Can't do you any harm, I shouldn't think, and might do you a lot of good.

[Wayne39 in reply to greygoose]

Thanks chicken and I presume your a young lady

[greygoose in reply to Wayne39]

You flatter me, sir. I'm no lady, and I'm 73! lol But I am female.

[Wayne39 in reply to greygoose]

A company called zipvit do magnesium but its sold as 500mg?

Do you no any shops that sell it in 400mg bottles?

[greygoose in reply to Wayne39]

I always get my supplements on Amazon. So much more choice!

[Wayne39 in reply to greygoose]
