Extra folate & biotin?
Since 24th April, I’ve taken 50mg levo daily, with BioCare Adreno Complex, Igennus Super B-Complex and separate Igennus B12. It’s early days, but in due course I plan to increase levo to 75mg, then 100mg, if my obliging GP will prescribe it. My question is this: is it safe/advisable/helpful to add in

Private GP visit
I saw I private GP today as I felt with more time to go through my symptoms and tests I might get somewhere. But she is of the opinion that my B12, ferritin and folate levels were all fine and nothing to worry about. They are within range. I asked about my symptoms, but she didn’t feel they warranted

Hello Everyone, I’m on 5th line chemo , so well experienced at this game. It’ll be 9 years this year. I think I know the answer and I’m going to seek advice from my nurse specialist and have an appointment with my consultant soon, but I’d like to know if anyone has experience of either of the above

I value this knowledgeable forum very much, thank you for all your help. I had my blood tested last week. The draw was at 9.30am and my last Levo medication was taken the previous morning at 8am. I am currently on 125 mg Levothyroxine which I take on waking up and only drink water for the first 2

B12 jabs and tablets giving me palpitations. Anyone else have trouble
Hi, I now find if I take a sublingual B12 tablet of 1000ug I experience palpitations. I have reduced to 500, and then 250ug same problem but slightly less severe. The symptoms came on soon after taking the tablets and lasted a few hours. I swapped back onto my injections Hevert B12 Depot Hydroxocobalaminacetate

Stomach problems and steroids - where next
I was diagnosed with polymyalgia in 2021. By summer 2023, I had reduced to 4.5mg. But the death of a close friend, for whom I am executor, resulted in a big flare. I consulted Rod Hughes privately in autumn 2023 and was advised to go to 15 mg and reduce in stages. I reached 9 but a flare caused by

Levothyroxine optimised?
Hi lovely people! My latest thyroid results were: TSH 1,27 (0,380-5,330μUI/mL) (18% through range) fT4 1,16 (0.38-1,40 ng/dL) (88% through range) fT3 3,79 (2,5-3,9pg/mL) (92% through range) Miraculously they finally tested fT3 for the first time, and I was so happy to see that I seem to be converting

Unrelated PMR question, but asking for a desperate friend in need …
A friend of mine is bewildered about what is going on with his wife’s health. He doesn’t know where to go from here, so I told him I would ask for help from you. She has recovered from breast and throat/neck cancer, unrelated to each other, but has undergone chemo/radio and now has the all clear.

Supplements still necessary?
Good morning allI have run out of my methylfolate supplements I have been on B12 injections for a few years now and been taking supplements too.

Reversing out worse than actual symptoms
I am 32 years old and had B12 deficiency. B12 was <83 pg/ml (normal 180-914) as the lab could not test below this value and Vitamin D was 16 ng/ml (normal 30-100). I had multiple symptoms, some are mentioned below 1. Vertigo 2. Consistent dizziness (feeling like sitting on a boat all the time) 3.

Turmeric and a Flare and Drama + Thoughts
Turmeric and so on….. Flare up … Drama Hello everyone…. I have had some success (I think - quite strongly) with varying Turmeric shots and soluble lozenges . Some are way too expensive but I found some on Amazon that were really inexpensive and had a delivery of a few shots of Turmeric from Tesco

Swollen tongue and teeth impressions on tongue
I am suffering with a very sore swollen tongue and I'm sure ages ago there was a post about this but I can't find it. Am I right in thinking that B12 may be the issue or increase in meds to rectify this? I am currently on Erfa one and quarter grains 6am and half grain 3pm and alternate days one and half
