Blood work
I recently got my blood tested so I could check for ferritin levels and my ferritin was at 329. I had gotten my blood test a year ago when I first saw the doctor for RLS but they’d didn't test ferritin levels at that time. My doctor just messaged me about my new results and said my results showed elevation

I have been having B12 every 10week but as most know it isn't enough for some of us, I've been SI every 2-3 day in between but still feel very tired all the time got no go in me at all so on

Stomach acid
hi again, Haven’t been diagnosed yet as I am waiting to get bloods off next week. I had posted here last week re my May results. My question is, would thyroid treatment (if needed) increase my very low stomach acid? I have had in past been treated for folate, b12 and iron, which I still take but

Panpharma B12 Depot out of stock at Apohealth - now what do I do?
Hi I made the mistake of ordering Panpharma Vitamin B12 from Apohealth recently but when it came the box looked a bit different and I realised I'd not ordered the "depot" version. I had cobalamin not hydroxy. So, annoyed with myself, I sent them back. I kept forgetting to reorder. Came to do it

Need some help re B12 metabolism
Hi started my B12 loading dose yesterday (yay!) and have 6 in total lined up. I've read a few threads round here which mention vitD, potassium, folate etc and I want to really be clear what effect B12 has on metabolism of these other minerals/vits I'm low on vitD anyway so am already supplementing

Intrinsic factor antibody
I'm posting on here as I been advised to. I've just been back to my GP because I had a blood test done the other week for intrinsic factor antibody. I had a result of 3.66 which I thought was positive but my GP just said it's negative ? I had the test done because my vitamins b12 is 211.

What now, totally lost and scared
I was all ready to start self injecting B12 having done much research and received helpful advice on here, received supplies and got my first jab done at a clinic. I doubted my GP would consider injections as my total serum B12 was 747ng/L (200-900) 3 months ago so decided to go this alone. Very low

Do I just learn to live with thinning hair?
I was diagnosed with Hashimotos in 1997 & was on thyroxine for 17 years.Then on T3-only for about 4 years,after testing positive for the D102 variant from both parents. I have been on NDT for a few years now-THIROID at first until its supply issues.I got on very well with TR MANN & was very disappointed

Can symptoms come and go?
Hello everyone, At the moment I'm waiting to see the gp tomorrow about thyroid and b12. I'm having various symptoms but they are coming and going. They may not be B12 related. Or they may. Eg.I just did about 20 mins of putting a wash on, making up a bed, not rushing. I've had to lie down because

My evaluation of which form of B12 is best.
The best form of B12 is not known. What is in fashion is different in different countries. Supply, what has been used before, difficulty storing, profit, etc. It is also the newest and that is often seen as better. Hydroxocobalamin is often touted as the best. The only justification is that blood tests

Finally taken seriously
I was diagnosed with PA many years ago, it was diagnosed over 30 years ago due to a mini stroke (TIA), put on daily B12 for 5 weeks then every 12 weeks. None of my symptoms went away, some abated a little but, never went away. Over the last 5/6 years things have got worse, however no GP would listen

B12 telegraph article.
Good to see an B12 awareness article by Henry Bodkin (senior reporter health and science) in the telegraph. Maybe there is some benefit to influential people turning vegan and will require B12 ?!

B12 Results - Way Different
Following on from previous post. Medichecks said my B12 had dropped - 49.6 pmol/L (37.5 - 150) So I took a test with Superdrug and the results are - 142 pmol/L (25.1 - 165) Help lol which is correct. I stopped my B complex which contains Biotin 2 weeks before both tests.

Negative PA Test - way forward
I had a low Vitamin B12 (125 mg/L) and low folate. One of my symptoms was severe pins and needles - particularly my legs, feet and genital areas. I had 4 loading doses of b12, followed by a further 2 at my request. I started folate tablets after 2 jabs. I had a IF test which came back negative. Shows
