Blood test for intrinsic factor. How accurate is it?
Have been well for quite a while on my eight weekly B12 injections but had been referred to a gastroenterologist for worsening IBS . He wants to find out why I have B12 deficiency and has requested I have blood test for intrinsic factor. Just wondering how accurate this is as sure I’ve had before and

What does Anaemic mean ?
I am a bit confused about what anaemic means. I have low folate at 3.82 ( the normal range is >3.89) , and red blood cells are 3.7 ( normal range 3.8 -5.8). Haemoglobin is 135 ( normal range 115-160) This is from blood tests done recently at my surgery. Yet at my last clinic visit my haematologist

Iron deficiency anemia and increased A1C levels
Have those of you who receive phlebotomy for PV experienced elevated A1C levels? I get phlebotomies ever couple of weeks, which as expected, has caused me to be iron deficient and a bit anemic (HGB 11.1, Ferritin <3 ng/mL, Iron 29, Transferrin 6%, UIBC 434, and IBC 463). I am also on 2 aspirin/

Vitamin D
Good afternoon, I have been asked by my gp to take an over the counter B vitamin supplement that contains at least 400mcg of folic acid. I managed to buy Thorne Basic B complex with folate but I am finding the tablets difficult to swallow because of their size. Can anyone recommend another brand of vitamin

Hyperparathyroidism
This is my first post on here. I wonder if anyone has had a blood test for Hyperparathyroidism who was taking a PPI? I am on Lansoprazole and I wondered if I should stop it before the blood test? I would be very grateful for any feedback.

pulmonary embolism
I had my 4 weekly B12 for my pernicious
anaemia
last night and was told you shouldn’t really have it when you’ve been in blood thinners. Thankfully it was nice nurse and she just did it. Advice please. Is this right and do I need to self inject now to get better.

Tracking your B12 changes after injections? (Please share if so)
Hey everyone. In November 2022 I tested positive for parietal cell antibodies with a B12 deficiency. I started loading doses of B12 with weekly injections (of 1000 mcg/mL cyanocobalomine) over 1 month, then monthly injections since then. A friend had a similar situation. After she started injections

Does anyone use ‘Active Iron’ in UK?
I searched for ferrous bisglycinate on Amazon UK which came up with Active Iron 25mg. I’ve now received it and found it contains ferrous sulfate 25mg! Now I don’t know if this is the right product or dose. Can anyone help?

Any value seeing a gastroenterologist for ET belly bloat?
Greetings All, I've made an appointment to consult with a visiting gastroenterologist for my permanent belly bloat and weight gain (about 4 kg over the past 2 years). I have a hunch this has been caused by the hydroxycarbamide. I'm on a low dose of 500mg/day now and platelets are normal. The belly

Iron supplements dosage
Is 20mg of gentle iron each night enough? It worked well the first night. What a wonderful relief it was. The second night it did work within 70 mins but returned within 3 hours.. I wonder why it didn't last as long? Would a slow release be better, like ferrous sulphate 325mg? Or will it need to be

As most of you can relate to, I have given up so much in my life due to RLS. Every possible RLS trigger is in fact a trigger for me.
