The outcome of my infusion, and a question
On 3 February 23 I had an iron infusion (at a private clinic), and I have finally been able to get a blood test (on the NHS) to see what my serum ferritin and transferrin levels are now. My serum ferritin level has increased from 50.0 to 406.7. My transferrin level is down from 2.26 to 1.74. I was

Active b12 result
Hello, so gp did my serum b12 which was 206 a few weeks ago and said he wasn't worried. I am worried because I have lots of symptoms and had a b12 deficiency a few years ago so I paid to get an active b12 test done privately (UK). Result is 47 pmol/mol. It says the cut off for a deficiency is 38, so

Why cyanocobalamin?
I have just been looking at the documentation (SPC and PIL) for a number of Folic Acid products. It appears they contain the following words – or similar: [i]4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use[/i] [i]Folic acid should not be administered for treatment of pernicious anaemia or undiagnosed

Hi Everyone. So here I am on my health journey with some results. These were the Blue Horizon Pernicious Anaemia Profile taken 4 weeks ago. I had no supplements at all for 6 weeks prior. I SI 0.7mg B12 Hydroxy 6 weeks before. My plan, following very frustrating GP appointments has been to have

Should I switch SSRIs?
Hi all, I’ve been on sertraline for around 14 years on varying dosages. Most recently I was on 150mg, but over the past few weeks I’ve been coming down and I’m now on 50mg, in preparation for a switch to Paroxetine. I take sertraline as I was originally diagnosed with OCD and also had an eating disorder

calm magnesium powder
I love the calm magnesium powder, helps with relaxation & constipation. However, I don’t know its effect on Diabetis type 2 & hemophilia A factor 8 inhibitors. I started giving a small dose to my husband & saw improvement in memory.( he has dementia )Sadly he also has diabetes 2 & hemophilia A. I May

Low Platelet, WBC, Lymphocyte etc
Good morning, I was wondering whether it is normal for those of us with UAT/Hashimotos to have low counts on these things? Whenever I get a full test done they come back slightly low or borderline. These are the ones I'm generally low or borderline on (since around 2012) : Lymphocyte count - last

Full blown PV now
I was diagnosed with Jak2+ PV back in January 2020. At that time, I didn't have high RBC, Hemaglobin, or hematocrit. I had high platelets, high WBC, basophilia, and eosinophilia. My hematologist said she was calling it PV rather than ET due to the high counts other than my platelets. She was completely

Transcobalamin
I have read often that B12 in the blood stream is not important and all that is important is the B12 available at the cellular level. I have not read as of yet that it is possible to experience both PA and an inborn transcobalamin error. It seems to be a one or the other method. With an inborn transcobalamin

Blood test questions
Hi everyone, I got back my third major blood panel. The only things that have been (slightly) high each time since starting the pred were my WBC and hemoglobin. Is this the normal for 25mg pred? Or something I should worry more about? Also, I haven't gotten a blood test for IL-6 yet. If I do, and if

Pregnancy loss and more results
Hello, I posted a couple of days ago re 3 miscarriages and suboptimal thyroid results (the screenshot). Today I've had some results back from the gp - serum B12, serum folate and serum ferritin. I am waiting for these same results (and vitD) from monitor my health. Also waiting for the full thyroid screen
