A win today at my GP visit.

[DiSews]

I had a GP appointment today, booked weeks ago to discuss my ferritin sats ( next step is testing for haemochromatosis) but in the course of the conversation, I asked about her take on the Gastroenterologist saying she doesn't think I have PA, and she replied that she isn't sure what to make of it but that do have a B12 deficiency , and that to continue injecting myself as I am is not going to do any harm. I was thrilled because she previously insisted that frequent doses of B12 are dangerous and refused to acknowledge that I was self injecting. Hooray! I think I will keep her now .

Hang on to this Dr with both hands she is a rare find.

Good luck with future appointment.

Glad youve found skne medical support.

You probably have already eliminated this possibility but high Ferritin can be a sign of pre diabetes

[DiSews in reply to ottolinebear]

Thankyou ottolinebear . She's onto that too - so many tests to get done this week!

Hi DiSews

Yay!! Seems like your GP has done her homework!!

Delighted for you and hope she continues to walk your recovery path with you.

Good news.

Sometimes what you say seems to have been ignored or dismissed by a GP - but actually made them have a rethink or check their previously-held views or taught information later on.

Don't get fooled by the pokerface !

[DiSews in reply to Cherylclaire]

Here's hoping she is interested enough to keep learning .

[Cherylclaire Forum Support in reply to DiSews]

I think that she will. She cared enough to look, which changed her opinion, and that is promising.

As for gastroenterologists, I have seen three - who all told me I had IBS. The first told me that 5 minutes into my first (and last) appointment. My GP disagreed, and kept sending me to another one.

She even rolled her eyes.
