Bit B12

[Afaghieh]

Couple of weeks ago I took Vit b12 (Boots) after a week I developed severe Raynaud's in hands and feet. My fingers are very sensitive as they have been burnt and big toes are blue and swollen. Is this to do with B12?

Looking at previous post.....more likely due to dramatic reduction in T3

Bloods should be retested 6-8 weeks after each dose change

What other vitamin supplements are you currently

When were vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 last tested

Hi SlowDragonThank you. At the moment no supplement. I took iron tabs caused gout. Well endo was very quick so my GP reduced t3 to 20mcg daily. Send me slip to do blood test in 6 weeks. Though in her letter mentions that i haven't recently had iron, B12 or folate but doesn't appear on the request slip. last blood test was done in Nov as pre OP at Hospital. Problem is that results don't go into my patients access records.

Free t4 <5.2 low

Tsh 0.03 munit/L

Free t3 6.1 H

Then My Consultant at respiratory clinic send endo a letter ? pituitary

Now during this time lots of things were happening and could be the contributory factor .

On the other hand for some time I have been asking my Endo to do a hormone test. last few years my breast have increased slowly and my weight.
