if test of blood are good and vitamin b12 and d low and hashimotos hypothyroide do you need to get injections ?

[weazle74]

doctors here in cyprus treat this like any other defiency of vitamins they give you tablets or orall sprays and leave you to it. they give you anxiety pills and antidepresants because of all symptoms with both being low i am having very bad times and thank god i found this site so i can get some good advice. i am trying on my own to cure my self as every time i see my doctor he says i should take nerve pills i believe if i correct my low vitamins i will feel beter as when i take thyroxin i feel much worse i realize thats probably because of the vitamins that i become so ill . i seen another doctor and opinions are the same

Improving vitamins to be at good levels can really help reduce symptoms

I'm adding that you mentioned yesterday that your Vit B12 result was 101 (200 - 900) and Vit D was 8.8 (20 to 200) to clarify for members the severity of your deficiencies.

I would definitely raise my vitamin/mineral levels. I wouldn't take nerve pills, which rarely, if ever, work. Some cause dependency.

[weazle74 in reply to G2G2]

my doctors decision to take nerve pills but i am doing my own thing i had enough all his saying is not helping me he makes me feeel worse ..anyway i used orall spray for b12 about 2.400 mg and i felt nauseus and headache maybe is too high ? i am very low 101 Nfrom normall range is [180-900]

[G2G2 in reply to weazle74]

Good for you! Every time I haven't followed my gut feelings about what would be best, I've regretted it. Yes, too much B12 at once. Are you sure it's mg, not mcg?

[weazle74 in reply to G2G2]

well it says on the spray 1.200mg one pray i sprayed 3 times

[helvella Administrator in reply to weazle74]

I think you might be confusing micrograms (mcg) and milligrams (mg).

[weazle74 in reply to helvella]

[weazle74 in reply to weazle74]

[helvella Administrator in reply to weazle74]

That is 1200 micrograms.

[helvella Administrator in reply to weazle74]

Yes - that is Greek mu - which stands for "micro" - did you click on my link?

[weazle74 in reply to helvella]

YES BUT HOW MUCH I AM TAKING DONT UNDERSTAND I SPRAY TWO TWICE micro smaller than miligram?

[helvella Administrator in reply to weazle74]

Two sprays of 1200 micrograms = 2400 micrograms = 2.4 milligrams.

(In the UK we use a fullstop as a decimal separator, and a comma as a thousands separator.)

[weazle74 in reply to helvella]

is a high dose?

as iam very low b12.. 101 it should help me i srayed more yersday and had bad reaction

[helvella Administrator in reply to weazle74]

If you are very low in B12 even after taking sprays (or tablets), you probably need injections.

I suggest you join the Pernicious Anaemia Society forum here on HealthUnlocked.

healthunlocked.com/pasoc

(Pernicious Anaemia is one very serious cause of low B12 and people with that cannot absorb enough. That forum has a LOT of experience of B12.)

[weazle74 in reply to helvella]

i will have a test after a month and see if is ok ... and see if i can buy injection and do them as two doctors told me is ok with orall sprays
