UIBC level
Has anyone with PA/B12 deficiency had this scenario: B12 low Iron Normal UIBC LOW If so, what ended up being the solution/treatment?

Iron Deficiency and B12
Here is an interesting article that states the B12 and folate levels were low and then corrected with iron supplementation but seemly w/o B12 supplementation in [u]Iron Deficient Anemics. [/u] Note: this will be different of course for people with PA/B12 deficiency w/o low Iron.

Endoscopy and colonoscopy done...
When I was admitted to the hospital for multiple blood clots this December, my hemoglobin was very low. They later diagnosed me with lupus. But still, the specialists thought that I must be losing blood somewhere for the severe anemia. I had an endoscopy last week and colonoscopy today and both came

Curiosity
Evening all I have a b12 deficiency and I self inject twice a week. I have not been feeling great of late so I decided to get a full blood work done and thankfully most of my results came back great. The two that didn't I wouldn't have thought have any connection to B12 deficiency but you never know

too late to prove b12 deficiency?!
hi I had low active b12, enlarged red blood cells and loads of symptoms. started the shots about six months ago. lots of symptoms left. but at the time I didn't check homocysteine or MMA or anything else to then have actual proof that I did have a deficiency. as now some people refuse to believe me as

High monocyte?
Since there are some knowledgeable people on this forum I'm curious if anyone knows what high monocyte count means? It was on my daughters blood test. She's 8 years old and just had some b12 loading injections in January. I did ask her gp what it meant/cause but she wasn't concerned because other factors

AIHA - what to expect ?
I have CLL but not under going treatment. After a week of feeling tired and breathless at the slightest action, I went downhill and sent to hospital. After my haemoglobin went down to 33, the doctor eventually worked out the AIHA condition and sent me home from hospital with Predisolone (+ folic acid

GP stopping injections with no alternatives offered
I had the test for the anti-intrinsic factor anti bodies and the doctor has text me to tell me it came back negative so that must mean it was all my diet and I must be ok now as my levels are normal. So he is stopping my injections. Of course my levels were 'normal'. The last time it was checked was

RDW in blood tests.
Hi, does anyone have any knowledge about Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) in blood tests. Are they standard in NHS blood tests. How useful are they in diagnosis of b12, folate and iron deficiencies? If MCV isn't always reliable when you have iron and b12 and/or folate deficiency. Could RDW be

What happens IF you break a venetoclax tablet before you swallow it?
Good morning, I am on Venetoclax and have been for 4+months. No pesky side effects but my platelet count has fluctuated from the mid 40's to the 80's. My doctor originally reduced my dosage from 400 mg to 300mg. My last CBC which was taken 2 weeks after my 5th Gazyva (next to last Gazyva infusion,

Injecting into thigh
Hi all I usually inject into my stomach but have read a few posts here about benefits of injecting into side of thigh. I tried this after watching a YouTube video a while back but felt no benefit and wondered if there are videos here which I can watch. I'm starting to wonder if injections into my stomach

My health and physical appearance
Ever since the pandemic started I began to put on weight and now I weigh too much. I’ve been doing some home workouts but I don’t feel motivated like I am when I’m in the gym. I really hate the way my body looks and before I get any plastic surgery I want at least try and lose weight naturally, but it

Results back and doctor’s confusing comments: help please
Just received my latest blood test results. Have followed advice regarding Vit B supplements (Igennus Super B, 1tab per day) and stopped these 10 days before blood test. Have continued with Vit D/K2 oral spray + 250 mg mag citrate most days. Feel pretty good, though faeces unusually dry for last 8 months

Hydration and Haemoglobin / Haemotocrit Levels
Does anyone know how much hydration can affect haemoglobin and haemoticrit levels? Ever since the prospect of PV was raised I have been sure to be very well hydrated before my blood tests. (I have them mid afternoon generally and ensure i have drunk 2l of water before hand). I realise that in the past

Please help me understand my results - will this TSH level affect my fertility?
Hello all. I have been on Thyreogland - an NDT comprised of 100mcg t4 and 25mcg t3, for the last 2 years. Recently, the dosage I normally take was not in stock! So I have been taking 125mcg t4 and respectively more t3 (I don't know the exact amount), I realise this was a bit stupid given that I felt

Severely weak. Can I try heme iron peptides?
Could my trembling/vibrations/debility be caused by iron deficiency as ferritin was 17 (saturation n iron stores also on lower side). I also feel cold. After taking iron, I feel almost normal for sometime n the trembling lessens too, then again feel weak by evening. if I don't take the iron in evening
