I’ve had blood test which indicates 21.6 level of vit D which is low. Explains a lot of my symptoms. Gp not in today and the others are only fielding vital calls. Should I take a supplement meantime? I’m on 50 level thyrox. Home alone and anxious....

Silly little setbacks!
I've been doing a bit of sleuthing! As a rule I don't look at anything medical on Google, but I have had a sneaky feeling that I know the cause of many of my symptoms which have been confirmed with a blood test. What with having blood transfusions, iron, magnesium and other such things, I deduce low

Update
Hi Had a phone call on Friday asking me to contract the surgery, following my over range ferritin results. I've now got to have a TIBC, iron and TSAT blood test. I think I need to be honest with the surgery and say I've was supplementing with iron tablets until recently and this is likely to have caused

Please help! At a loss with my dad's symptoms and GP
Hi all, Just joined this as not sure where else to turn! My Dad is 72 and in November 2020 his bloods showed that he was low in b12 (sorry don't have exact result). At the time I was baffled by this as he was eating eggs daily and ate red meat regularly too. After a quick search I read about PA and

41 YO bloodwork test results without methyl malonic acid
My friend was seen her GP for weird symptoms she has and the doctor was forgot to ask lab methyl malonic acid test but all other bloodwork was done. Unfortunately she has injected two times hydroxocobalamin so it's not possible to redo bloodwork for methyl malonic acid. She sent to me her bloodwork

Memory problems diagnostic process
I came across an article I thought was interesting and am sharing it here. It's from the Mayo Clinic Proceedings (US, same journal as the Many Faces of Cobalamin Deficiency article. They call the symptoms "forgetfulness" problems, but they seem closely related to the word-finding problems experienced

Low iron levels
My doctor has advised me that my iron level is on the low side of the normal range. Should I take iron supplements to boost it as my doctor is happy to leave the levels as they are.

Time to buy more B12
Up to date info required regarding purchase of B12 ampoules, please. I hate self injecting and normally inject 1mg x 1ml into each arm (so 2mg a week) to get it over with. Used Rotexmedica but can now only find Hervert on Amazon.de. I have read somewhere that Hervert are 1mg x 2ml and this is too much

How to proceed after Abnormal blood results as my GP refuses to investigate the cause?
I recently received blood results showing an abnormally High Eosinophil count but upon bringing this up to my GP I was told they’re not gonna investigate it as it is apparently irrelevant to my symptoms even though my symptoms seem to match to Eosinophilia, I know it could be a possible link to RA which

Does it need to take Glutathione supplement for people on cyanocobalamin injection?
There are articles claiming cyanocobalamin depletes methionine because of high demand if methylation process and just small fraction converts to usable form of B12. Please share your information

Autoimmune gastritis Vs AMAG/PA
https://pernicious-anaemia-society.org/b12deficiencyandperniciousanaemia/ This first article describes one cause of B12 deficiency (other than PA) as gastritis that is 'where the patient produces antibodies that destroy either the Parietal Cells or Intrinsic Factor or both.' So is this very much different

Methotrexate in the US
Since our Supreme Court has removed Roe v Wade allowing abortion something has happened that most did not expect. Women of reproctive age are being denied their methotrexate that they've been taking for years as a treatment for things like RA because it is also a drug used in abortions. I know that most

B12 Self Administration
Hi there, I self injected B12 for the first time ever today. I did a intramuscular injection into my thigh but I think I did it a bit too high up on my thigh. Is this likely to be an issue? Should I be worried? I'm overthinking I'm pretty sure, first injection and all that!

Confused about seeds!
Can anyone please tell me if seeds are good or bad for under active thyroid? I’m so confused as I have been reading that they are really great for you and then the next article tells me that they are really bad for you? I have a cupboard full of chai, linseed, pumpkin, sunflower seeds etc! Help!

Who knows about ferritin/ iron tests? Confused here! Do I need to do something? Help please!
I get confused with ferritin and iron results, as I can't remember how they work together. Ferritin is low, but haemoglobin is ok? My GP marked everything 'normal'. I'd be grateful for some explanation and advice on what to do please! I have felt more tired. In fact absolutely exhausted a couple of
