Hi ladies
I am a regular here been in Peri ten years
A lot of you ladies know my story
Peru ten years awful and every symptom
Went 13 months no period
Had to have half my thyroid removed due to a nodule that needed removing
Day after surgery I got a period!!!!
Everything scanned all ok
That was August last year
No period as yet
Anyway I’ve had awful flu been ill for two weeks
Went to my doctor he ran some more bloods
Turns out I have a folic acid deficiency which I believe is b12
I have been feeling so run down breathless exhausted and just thought it was due to flu
My question is have any of you ladies had this
My anxiety is sky high🙄
Thinking the worst again!!!!
Any replies would be welcome x

Actually I think I’ve made a mistake I think folic acid is b9 not 12?
I’m confused 🤷🏻???

Hi Michelle,
So sorry you are struggling! You're a real trooper to manage all you have done so far.
Are you taking any Vit D? I get real flu-like symptoms when my D is low, body aches, slow thinking, fatigue. Vit D is called the 'sunshine vitamin' not just because we get it from the sun but also because it can help with mood.

Thank you for advice
According to my bloods I’m only low in folic acid my thyroid is still functioning ok despite recent surgery
I’m not the best eater I could probably eat more but I’ve had numerous digestive issues in Peri as well so it’s a vicious circle
I’ve written another thread as the dreaded obsession with my breathing is back
Doctor listened to chest even had a chest X-ray few weeks ago all clear
Anxiety is in overdrive
Praying for an end to all of these symptoms
I mean this is my 11th year now!!!
