Guest guest Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 : I have consistently good blood tests but my daughter is on twice weekly B12 shots and she's been severely anemic. I had surgery in May, 2000 and she had hers in August 2000. We do things approximately the same, eating habits, etc. and yet my blood remains fine and hers doesn't. Flo from land B12 I had the MGB in December of 2000. It was not required to take B12, we were required to take the ONE SOURCE vitamin from WAL-MART. Well, my B12 has become dangerously low. I have to have a B12 shot weekly, hopefully, I will get that down to monthly! Any one else have problems with B12? Holley Guffey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 I have taken a B12 shot monthly for about 3 years. I had the MGB in 1999. Mine is well managed with the shot and I give it to myself. MGB 1999 268/155 > I had the MGB in December of 2000.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 I had to have one daily for a week, then weekly for a month, now down to once a month. Had bloodwork a few weeks, and B-12 looked good, but iron is low. At least the needles are small. Re: B12 Haven't yet, but I do take a B-12 every night sub-lingually.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 I also take B12 shots. Due to the fact that not only do I have an absor problem but I also have IBS which in turn causes most of the foods that I eat go right thru my body. I have diarrhea all the time. Which is really no fun when you go out to eat and cant even finish the meal due to having to run to the bathroom. Have a great day! __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, annie www.FibroFix.com B12 I take B12 for anemia... but my mother is a physician has heard that is started to be used for fibro treatment as well. There is an idea that B12 injections (or high doseage pills) help with energy (hence why its in energy drinks). Injections tends to be better then pills as it enters the bloodstream better when absorptions problems do not exist (such as IBS, pernacious anemia, etc.). I can say that B12 has helped with fibro symoptoms and energy beyond what I ever thought would occur. If I decrease the dosage, I see an increase in fibro pain and fatigue and have more concentration troubles. Needless to say, I was shocked that this made such a difference. I have often wondered if this would help others with fibro especially since the risk/sideeffects are virtually nothing beside the annoyance of needles and (at least for me) some slight bruising and irritation from the injection itself.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hi This paper, out today, is a 'blockbuster' of a paper http://www.jbc.org/cgi/doi/10.1074/jbc.M802812200 It says, basically, that the old dogma over cancer treatment with anti-folates is wrong. they used to say 'ooh', giving folates is 'risky'......unless you're pregnant or very old..... but the reality seems to be that it's partly the folate deficiency that underlies many of the ills associated with thyroid disease...I'll do more on this later and put something in the 'Files'. best wishes Bob > >> > Hi ,> > > > Did you get a folate done as well?> > > No Bob I didn't.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hi There is a discusison about high levels of B12 here http://www.medhelp.org/forums/nutrition/messages/160.html Luv - Sheila Hi everyoneDoes anyone know anything about raised B12 in relation to thyroid?

I'll look out for that Bob. Thanks. I read the paper and got the gist but probably not quite like you did! All these things are SO interesting though, even if you can't quite get your head around it all as much as you'd like. I never was much good at the sciences, being the artistic type myself, but I sure am beginning to appreciate the intricacy of the workings of the body!

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hi , Mine is also high 1496 last December (range 150-650), so not that different to yours given the different range. I reduced my B100 to 1/day rather than the 2/day I was on, but on other groups they seem to say that the ranges expected were too low and so the result was ok and that I should have continued with 2 x b100/day. If you find out anything about this pls post it as I would be interested to know. Val Does anyone know anything about raised B12 in relation to thyroid? Just found out that mine is 1965 (211 -911), so extremely high. I'm going to stop my B complex supplement and try to bring it down some.ThanksMar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Val. I found your post pretty reassuring. I was rather alarmed at how high my B12 was. I've left off my B complex today which has 50 micrograms of B12 in it but then of course I'm losing all the other B vitamins. I'm going to see if I can find a supplement with all the B's minus B12. I don't know if that's possible or not. I am going to do a bit more research about it, so I will post anything useful that I find out. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Well all over the internet they say they have never seen bad reactions to high amounts of B12 but best be safe than sorry eh hon? I would just do as you say and then get it checked in a while to see how it is. At least you know you aren't deficient lotsa luv Dawnx - > > > > Mine is also high 1496 last December (range 150-650), so not that > different to yours given the different range.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I take 1000mgs B12 (sublingual) daily - this keeps me ticking over just fine. I use the Solgar variety.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I am on 1 x 2000mcg per day and doing just fine. I started out on 2 x 2000mcg for six months and found it really helped to begin with. Then my Dr told me to just take 1 tab sublingually each morning straight after taking my l-thyroxine. I use Solaray brand but have heard that Solgar is equally as good. M. how much should we be taking per day ? I'm on 50ug and assuming this is enough.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 If you are supplementing it will be high and isn't useful. Steph Re: RT3 Dominance Hi StephI have adrenal fatigue and some of the symptoms of hypothyroidism. I have tried taking Armour which made me feel bad, as does T3 alone. It seems I can't tolerate T3 alone or maybe in the Armour (or Naturethroid) . I am on hydrocortisone and an adrenal glandular for adrenal support.I thought maybe the Iodine might help T3 uptake? other than that, i've heard that low ferritin can affect T3 uptake - as i say my problem does seem to be inability to uptake T3.Do you or anyone else have any other ideas what might help T3 uptake?ThanksChris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 at the time we were not supplementing and the result was in the lower end of normal...so considering we were not supplementing then how does that sound to be in lower end of normal??now that we are supplementing we have not retested..how do you know where you stand with B12 if you are supplementing?? From: ladybugsandbees <ladybugsandbees@ sbcglobal. net>Subject: Re: Re: RT3 Dominanceiodinegroups (DOT) comDate: Tuesday, July 28, 2009, 9:31 PM Zinc Vit A Selenium Magnesium Vit C Unrefined Salt Iodine ATP CoFactors (Optimox) All of these things should help with your body to heal the receptors. It sounds like you may have issues with low ferritin, low B12 or severe adrenal issues. All make it difficult to take thyroid meds.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 The lower end of any range isn't the best place to be so I would say add some more. Your body will flush out what it can't use. I would say to also add a B Complex as well. Steph Re: RT3 Dominance Hi StephI have adrenal fatigue and some of the symptoms of hypothyroidism.
