We'll I'm back in hospital, again, this will be 8 times this year that I've been admitted. It's put down as Asthma, but I'm not displaying any asthma or allergy symptoms, nor infection. I just can't move air, both in my lungs (particularly lower lungs - it's like a tight belt is wrapped around me at...

I did check with the dr, it is hydroxocobalamin

Well looks like my new dr is a bust, she's not interested in testing anything new, and just wants to put me on weekly b12 injections - until the new year. Despite having 4 x 1000mcg injections, I've noticed no difference. I'm not really handling this, and I really don't know how long I can put up wi...

In a couple of weeks she will order additional tests, I'm just glad she listened to me and said she believed me

Update from the new dr, finally someone is listening!
She's ordered 6 b12 shots over 6 weeks with follow up testing for a number of vitamin levels

Also any experience with a nutritionally oriented specialist would be great, I'd like to know what I'm looking for, top result in a google search locally was core nutrition

Hi JimmyLegs, I've had all my vitamin levels etc checked and things look ok, nutrition wise I seem to be ok, in fact from the tests done I appear to be pretty good. Lifestyle factors, yeah I'm heavy, though I eat well, excersize is difficult so I generally eat less and better and excersize when I ca...

Hi All, I' Sarah or Cherry, 29, female and I'm new here and not yet diagnosed, actually having difficulty getting drs to listen, I've been told it's all in my head, accused of being overly dramatic, hysterical, even borderline for asking drs to look into things. I've been experiencing unexplained sy...
