Does B-12 deficiency cause :
- long/heavy periods ?

- Severe back ache .
Is there anything else that can be taken apart from 1000mcg of methyl B-12 and 400mcg of folic acid ?
Too many questions , but any help is much appreciated . Thanks.

Hi,
I had hyperthyroidism due to Grave's Disease. They "nuked" my thyroid and I now have hypothryroidism. My periods went from very light to extremely heavy. Definately know it's linked. It also causes tiredness, so if she can't sleep it might be the back pain. As far as the B12 goes- I'm borderline anemic if I don't take high doses of it. My doc told me that people with autoimmune disease often have low B12 levels. Is her hypothyroidism due to Hashimoto's Syndrome. It a very common cause of it and it is a autoimmune disease.
