Hello everyone

This is my first post although I've been following the site for a while.

My condition is the same with the symptoms you all mention.

I am very interested in the advice that has been given about supplements and vitamins. I don't know what I should be taking and what strength etc.can someone give me an idea?

Always a good idea to have testing first - so you know what needs supplementing and how much. Basic testing which is not routine - I would suggest - B12 - Folate - Ferritin and VitD. When these are low in range we can feel poorly along with many other symptoms. B12 is good around 500 - Folate and Ferritin around mid-range and VitD around 100. Sadly Docs think if you are bumping along the bottom of the range you are fine - sadly not. Not taught at Medical School !

Absorption issues can be the cause of poor uptake of nutrients from foods - and so testing will reveal what is needed.

I am not a Medic - just someone who has found wellness after over 60 years of being unwell - and learning from others who know more than me

Thank you, I'll definitely ask my GP for some tests

... good idea ! Also a good idea to ask for copies of all your results with ranges so you can monitor your progress and see what has been missed 😊 Docs often say fine/normal/OK - when they mean in range but .... hope all goes well.
