Can you insist on a Pernicious Anaemia Test with low B12?
I was diagnosed with Pernicious Anaemia at 27 by a specialist after having various tests for other things, and have been on B12 injections ever since and am now in my 60's. My daughter is 28yrs old and her blood test has just come back with 'low B12'. She told her GP that I was diagnosed in my 20's

B12 and iron deficient
I had pyloric stenosis surgery at 3 months old where they take out some of the deodenum which is the area that absorbs iron and b12. I’ve had to get b12 injections and now am iron deficient. Curious if anyone else had the same surgery as a baby and now have the same vitamin and mineral malabsorption

Is Getting Dismissed as a Patient an Embarrassment or Rite of Passage?
Is Getting Dismissed as a Patient an Embarrassment or Rite of Passage? I wasn't being rude. In the lobby waiting to be seen by my surgeon another patient was recording her "plastic surgery journey" as the Ear Nose Throat surgeons also do the cosmetic surgeries. As a cancer patient, I'm not comfortable

How to monitor injection results
I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency in May 2021, on the basis of low serum B12 (74 ng/L), some loss of sensation in my feet, and nerve conduction assessment in my legs. Due to physician confusion regarding treatment with B12 (cyanocobalamin) injection, I bounced around with injection frequency, with

5th Covid vaccine
I know this topic has been covered recently but I’m still confused about the 5th Covid vaccine. I’ve just rang 119 and spoken to a guy who has said they are not inviting anyone for a 5th vaccine. They are currently working on people eligible for the spring booster as set out in the NHS guidelines.

B12 injections and iron
Had labs done today in preparation for my hematology check up next week. My ferritin has increased slightly, but my iron , TIBC, and sat % have all decreased slightly. Also my MCV increased and my WBC decreased. Most are still in range, but I know ranges aren't always optimal (and my hematologist

Should Doctor have prescribed B12 injections?
Please advise if anyone else has experienced similar, and what treatment was. Feeling very tired and on occasions breathless when walking uphill. Blood test showed small red blood cells, very low iron and borderline B12 deficiency. Prescribed iron tablets twice a day. Nothing prescribed for low B12.

When to take iron
It seems, from what I have read, that iron has to be taken without food. But also not close to when I take other minerals such as calcium or magnesium, or certain medicines like my thyroid medicine. Is it OK then to take iron at the same time I take my RLS medicine, which at this time is still ropinerole

Blood test results - please help!
So I had my bloods taken this week as I'm still struggling really bad with constipation and hair loss, as well as cold legs and feet. Here are my results. I think I need to up my iron, B12 and folate but if anyone can spot anything else that would be really helpful. My iron does look in range but i know

Before You Book (or recommend) That Iron Infusion
Please read the article embedded in this post to FreeGaza. In my unprofessional opinion, if you feel you must have an infusion then ask for Iron Dextran. Dextrose is a single molecule sugar that theoretically should be able to cross the BBB. Injectafer and iron sucrose, in my humble opinion, don’t stand

Morning all. I have pv and taking hydroxycarbomide and apixaban. I've been struggling with breathlessness for some time now but haematologist says it's not down to the mpn and referred me back to gp for more investigation.

IFA & PCA blood tests
Hi, I’ve been booked for bloods for intrinsic factor and parietal cells antibodies, the GP said they are antibodies so no need to stop B12 before hand. I’m reading both 48 hours and/or 2 weeks clear of injections, I don’t want to mess these tests up but at the same time am desperate to get the B12.

Unusual results on standard differential -- would love feedback (and, if possible, reassurance?)
Hey, all, yesterday I was a bit shaken by results that were, for me, unusual, coinciding with the most clipped doctor visit ever had, so left full of unanswered questions. My lymphs had gone quite up (okay, that's CLL progressing) and WBD went well up too (okay, CLL progressing) BUT, neutrophils, which
