Treating muscle pain post zoledronic acid infusion
I had my first zoledronic acid infusion just over 24 hours ago. I was recommended to take some paracetamol before bed, which I did. I had some migraine associated visual disturbances just before I turned my light out, but slept through OK. This morning I developed a headache, so took more paracetamol

Hysteroscopy bleeding
Hi everyone!I had hysteroscopy on 14th of December to remove polyp. It was a but painful (I went without sedation) but bearable and quick. Had no bleeding afterwards. On 19th of December I had my first day of periods, as it was due. And on the second day I had so much blood and so many clots that I went

Filter needles for methylcobalamin
Do you use filter needles to draw up your B12? If so, where do you get them? I just received my dry methylcobalamin and normal saline ampules, and I mixed it up but then I started to worry about drawing up glass in the syringe. I'm not sure how likely this is. Is it a big risk to do it without a filter

B12 injections impact on other medical tests
Hello all I recently posted about this and only got one reply so carried on researching and ….. I have stumbled across this pdf on the New Zealand govt website. It is a Panpharma pdf for hydroxycobalamin. https://www.medsafe.govt.nz/profs/Datasheet/h/HydroxocobalaminPanpharmainj.pdf It specifies

Coronary artery calcification, osteoporosis and B12 deficiency- what to do next ?
I have just been found to have coronary artery calcification incidentally when having a Lung Healthcare scan. This information was passed to my GP who wants to put me on statins (Atorvastatin 20mg daily). I have no idea of the severity or extent of the calcification, only that it was found. I don't

GP blood test for B12 - but should other tests be done too ?
I’ve recently been posting on the thyroid forum. I have had frizzy feeling feet, then going up my legs, but it has calmed down a lot quite suddenly. The feet started overnight and would be fine in the day. The feet and legs together went away in the afternoon. I’m not sure this really sounds like a

Omeprazole query
Recently diagnosed and on prednisolone; also prescribed Alendronic acid (weekly dose) and Omeprazole. I thought my GP said that as I have no history of gastric problems to only take the Omeprazole in the evening before I take the alendronic acid the next day. But she has prescribed enough for once daily

Zoledronic acid plus teriparatide
Hi everyone, newbie here. My wife is about to go onto treatment for fairly severe osteoporosis after a fall involving fractures to 3 lumbar vertebrae. According to a letter from her consultant to her GP, the consultant seemingly wants her to go onto zoledronic acid plus teriparatide. We're due to discuss

Polyneuropathy and vitamin B 12
I have had polyneuropathy for some time and I have tried B12 recently and it seems to me to help a lot. I put this to the test accidentally by running out and was surprised by how much the pain increased. Not expensive and worth trying.

Regulating speed of healing
This has only become an issue with injecting 4+ times a day with two injections of B12 1 mg in a solution of 1mg/ml. Prior to that my body was starving for B12 which is a very different experience. The experience was a using up my B12 roller coaster. I inject two different forms in each injection and

Loading dose now complete and...drum roll
Last of the 6 jabs was two days ago. I've had some "standard" improvements and some unexpected ones. First thing I noticed was that the half moons on my fingernails started to reappear (they've been missing for ages). Mainly my thumbs but they're coming back on a couple of other digits as well. Sadly

Good news on the bone density front
Hi, this group is helpful and supportive and feels like an extended family. So I just wanted to share a bit of good news. I had a DXA 18 months ago not long after starting Prednisolone and my scores were: -0.1 in the spine which was healthy but not so good in the hip: -1.9 Total Hip T score

B12 OVERDOSE
In my idle moments I was browsing around and came across Livestrong.com where it states many false ideas, including that B12 is not excreted in urine, too much can give you HEART ATTACK, and a few others. I have pointed them here and asked them to correct their information, but I don't suppose they

PA, or just getting older?
I recently came across an article about PA and back pain. I wonder if I can blame my B12 deficiency for my sciatica and wrist tendonitis? I had thought of them as unrelated. In a way this would be good news as it means they might improve as I get my B12 levels back up. PA seems to cause so many symptoms
