Hi, I've just joined PA because my husband was diagnosed with PA about 2 weeks ago. At this stage we're hoping that it is just PA he has as his symptoms are not usual. He is suffering from a lot of stiffness and pain, mostly in his large muscles. This is very bad at times and at other times not so bad. The pains are inclined to move around. His legs might be bad one day and the next it could be his arms. He has had to stop all physical work and excercise. After mild exertion he is tired and wants to sleep.
In his first blood count his B12 was under 50. He has antibodies to intrinsic factor but surprisingly his bloods are good.
So far he's had 6 injections of 1000 mcg of B12. Basically I'm wondering is pain and stiffness a symptom. He has no pins and needles.
Thanks. I'd be happy to hear if anybody has had a similar symptom.
