Could be this, anyone got it

Both my mother and my father’s brother had it. My symptoms symptoms seem to fit exactly. Basically it’s a deficiency in B12

What does it feel like.

Wouldn’t the best thing to do be to wait until you have the biopsy results? If you Google, you will find you have the symptoms of a few things…we’ve all done it! I do have a friend who has deficiency of B12. She has injections after repeat blood tests to check if she needs one..and that’s that…hers is under control. She had other medical issues & it was picked up at a routine blood test. If you can’t wait there maybe a forum…or go to the nhs web site, which will give you symptoms & treatment. Good luck…I can see you’re finding it hard to be patient, & I understand that!! Also remember that people have differing symptoms & experiences for the sane disease…don’t go ‘talking yourself’ into having pernicious anaemia…ask a doctor!!! S x
