B12 injection before my hip replacement
Hi I have B12 injections every 12 weeks from my GP but inject every 3 weeks at home. My question is should I inject a couple of days before I go in? I feel absolutely exhausted and in continual pain. Your answers will be much appreciated. I have it done on the 24th April. Thankyou.

no help from the gp
I have not been diagnosed - my doctor has no idea and can’t find someone to refer me to. I have a few questions and feel this might be the best place to get answers as mu GP is no help. I broke my hip 2 years ago and walked around on it for 6 months before I got to the stage I couldn’t get out off bed

Is it worth having a private iron panel done when the NHS results can be so different?
Whom should I believe? A few months ago (April) I had the results above via Medichecks. Last week these were the NHS results: Serum Iron: 29.5umol/L (14.00 - 30.00umol/L) Serum Ferritin 22 (13.00 - 150.00ug/L) Transferrin Saturation 39 (20.00 - 50.00%) TIBC 76 (50.00 - 72.00) So according to NHS

Bupropion/Zyban/Wellbutrin and sleep?
Hello, I started 150mg over a month ago. I had sleep issues previously but now they seem to be getting worse. Psychiatrist has recently asked me to take 300mg as apparently I haven’t responded that well to 150mg. Feeling reluctant to do so. My HRT was adjusted at the same time by an endocrinologist.

Disappointing GP visit…referral for talking therapy and poss CFS, no increase in levo
As I’m still very symptomatic (hypothyroidism with history of results in bio) I went back to the GP to explain this, share my Blue Horizon test results and ask for a trial increase to 125mg of levothyroxine. Not a great appointment- apparently I shouldn’t lay everything at the door of my thyroid! GP
