Summary document - updated

Hi All,

I'm so glad to see that so many people find my summary document helpful. It's spurred me on to make a couple of addition - PA means B12 for life - and - do B12 supplements interfere with the anti-IF antibody test.

If anybody can think of something else, please let me know. Although, I don't want the document to become too large, there's room for some more important bits of info I may have forgotten.

Good work.

It might be a good idea to add some bullets about more common correlated conditions, particularly hyperhomocystenemia and neuropathy.

When I was diagnosed back in the stone age hyperhomocystenemia was considered a natural consequence of PA, simply because the cysteine-conversion cycle was broken. Had my PCP done either an MCV or an MMA I would have avoided a lot of pain and suffering, but as it was it was the hyperhomocystenemia that was first in line to kill me, and not the neuropathy from the PA.

Perhaps it's me but I can't get the "old" links to open. Any ideas please?

Nope, it's not just you. I'll try to fix it this morning. I think I have the old version I can put back.

Thanks

Edit:

OK. I'd forgotten that my version of Acrobat won't transfer hyperlinks when a PDF is created from Word. The new version is up and should be working OK.

Another Edit:

D'oh! I've just found out that I can just 'Save As..' from Word. What a dingbat!
