Well the inevitable happened and as covid started ripping through my eldest‘s (9y) class the school kept insisting that only children needing to self-isolate did not have mandatory attendance and the fact I am vulnerable didn’t count… well as of this morning he has a positive lateral flow although no

What tests to choose
I was diagnosed with b12 deficiency I self inject monthly but recently collapsed with symptoms of severe anaemia. Waiting for fbc via gp but want to add active b12 from private testing. I have to have venous sample as I never can fill the tube from fingerprick and the nurse is happy to fill tubes but

Folate deficiency
Hi everyone, I’m new to this page. I have had very low folate for the second time and I am currently taking supplements still. I am a young, healthy teacher who eats a very good diet eating lots of food with folate in it. I don’t drink alcohol and no idea why my folate is so low, apparently my b12 levels

Repeating intrinsic factor antibody blood test
Hello Does anybody have any references to show a consultant that wants to repeat an ifab blood test? I have gastric parietal cells and am ifab positive with reading of 8 (range 0-5). He says I'm only weekly positive for ifab so wants to repeat the test. I had one down in June that was negative, then

Steroid injection
Hi everyone. I had a steroid injection this morning in my little finger. It's been locking alot lately and causing pain in my lower arm. I'm told it's because of skin thickening in my hand. Only diagnosed in July. Has anyone else had this experience?

Base cell carcinoma
I have a small base cell carcinoma. The dermatologist had prescribed a cream which by all accounts sounds like 6 weeks of sore inflamed skin ( it’s on my face between my eyes ) . I have private health care and I’m wondering if it would be better to have Mohs surgery instead. Any advice gratefully received

Prognosis
Hello, I had pernicious anemia about two years ago and it was corrected with injections. Intrinsic factor test was negative. However, with the time I needed injections again. I read in the internet that pernicious anemia is caused by autoimmune gastritis and that this gastritis may lead to cancer. I

Treatment
Recently diagnosed. My GP doctor suggested injection of 1000mcg once a month. But I’ve read it should be more like daily or at least weekly. He plans to use cyanocobalamin, but I’ve read that methylcobalamin is the better. What is the consensus for dosage and either methyl or cyano?

Did anyone had long lasting effects from an EMG/NCS?
Mine was absolutely awfull. Electrical shocks felt like I was getting electrocuted. I’m on the small side 52 kg ( 114 pounds) and 1m59 (5,2 feet) and my guess is that the doctor used too high of a voltage. The doctor had problems with the machine and was very frustrated and in a bad mood. He kept zapping

High ferritin levels
Good evening one and all - and in advance I want to wish you all a happy new year, one that is healthier for us all. My serum ferritin level has gone up even further and I just wondered if the PMR/Pred etc has anything to do with it? I should add that I do have an abnormal inherited gene (a carrier

Bone marrow test
I have been anemic and have had two iron infusions. In s few days, I will be having a bone marrow extraction. I'm a bit nervous about it. What can this test reveal?

Low iron first time in years despite supps
Hello, I just had an iron panel done as it turned out my iron is 4% of range.... 55 (50-170)! Ferritin better at 30% range, but still not great. I used to take Floradix and my iron was over midrange on it, then took 60 mg Actiferol (ferric pyrophosphate) in powder from the pharmacy for couple of months

Iron Infusion
I am having my first Iron Infusion on 15 November. Recent Ferritin blood tests revealed my level was 50. I asked my GP about having an Iron Infusion and she was happy to organise this for me. This will be done at my local Hospital (I live in a country town) by a Doctor. I have been feeling very tired

Anyone used Vitex (Agnus castus/chasteberry) and did it help or aggravate RLS?
Having heavy n prolonged periods so was researching solutions. Came across Vitex (to balance out hormones) but no idea if it's safe for RLS because when I googled Vitex RLS I read something about it affecting dopamine receptors? Has anyone used this for their periods or any other issue, or can advise
