Request for experiences with Vitamin D
If anyone of you would be willing to share your personal experience with Vitamin D that would be appreciated. All good with what is thought to be true in the medicial field I am well versed in that angle. I have taken D3 with K2 and the results were not definitive so I discontinued. I have lived

NICE: Teprotumumab for treating thyroid eye disease ID 6432 - being scoped
I have just noticed a new NICE guideline has been started. Only a skeleton at present - in the guideline scoping state. It will probably be years before it is completed. It is good that it has been selected for further work but must be devastating for anyone suffering TED to see how far away this (potential

Polyneuropathy.
I treat my polyneuropathy with B6 and B12. GracePV shared their experience with B6, B12 nd B1. This inspired me to revisit my self treatment of my polyneuropathy. I came across information about Benfotiamine which is similar to Thiamine Hydrochloride and Thiamine Nitrate. There are indications

I got my results back for pernicious anemia! Looks like folate deficiency, but would really appreciate any comments
I finally got my blood test results back for pernicious anemia. It looks like I don't have it, and that my problem is folate deficiency. And low reticulocyte count which would be caused by low folate I suppose. My other results are all in range, though active B12 could maybe be higher I am thinking

B12 how much and how often
I’ve been struggling with PA for 2 and 1/2 years. No one would listen. Finally from Israel I was advised to get the Intrinsic Factor Antibody Blood Test and the Parietal Cell Antibody Blood Test. Pernicious Anemia. I have to take a shot of Methylcobalamin daily. The Israelis recommend taking a shot

Gastric Parietal Cell Antibody
Just wondering whether any members have had this test? I'm not really thinking about those who have had a B12 deficiency (or suspected Pernicious Anaemia) followed up by this test. Rather has anyone had done spontaneously as the link below [i]appears[/i] to imply. As I read it, the words say GPC should

labs results that contraindicate one another
Hi all, I’ve been having pretty constant parasthesias on both sides of my body usually worse from shoulders down to fingers, initial B12 level was 190 (was 845 four years ago). New doctor had me test for IF antibodies immediately after giving me a B12 injection which was negative and she stated

Son tested positive for gastric parietal cell antibodies
My son has history with h pylori, which he was treated for, but the symptoms haven't gone away completely. Last week I was talking about my own b12 deficiency and he informed me he has the same symptoms. I know he has been more tried than normal, but I put it due to the h pylori, after effects. As that

Hello Friends, I asked this question on my original thread but someone suggested I start a new one. I was diagnosed with Autoimmune Atrophic Gastritis 2 weeks ago and have been having a hard time mentally . My family Dr this past Friday sends me the blood tests results and says they cannot comment

Hello - I'm interested in other GCA experiences
Hi. First time I've posted. I was diagnosed with GCA in February 2024 following hospital admission. It took medics a while to work it out but, once they did and started me on Prednisolone, my symptoms quickly improved. I returned to work early April and things seemed to be going in the right direction

Cholesterol readings
Hello medically-minded people Tryimg to decide whether to take statins or not. This is my latest cholesterol test readings. I knw that the total cholesterol level is high (as it tells me) but my diet is not bad (exercise level lowish though due to PMR) but are there any/enough mitigating factors? Due

Life after Tocilizumab?
I've been off steroids since mid-May. Continuing to take methotrexate (15mg weekly) and Toxilizumab weekly. I seem to be doing well - bloods fine and health ok. I'm seeing rheumatologist next week and my concern is I'm guessing that I won't be eligible for further Tox after my current prescription runs

Tocilizumab
I am advised that a biosimilar to tocilizumab has been approved in the UK and will be available at a more economical price , enabling NICE to allow NHS prescriptions for GCA after the initial 12 months. My GP and Consultant keen to get me off Pred altogether ( currently on second attempt in 3 years)

Colonoscopy
Just have a question. I was put on a 5 Day taper of 16mg of prednisolone. I took my first dose today along with a one time dose of diflucan. Will I be ok to have my colonoscopy tomorrow?

Returning temporal headaches after stopping Tocilizumab, what to do ?
I will try to be brief. UK male aged 70 Diagnosed with GCA (ultra sound scan only) 2 years ago. Only minor symptoms experienced (mainly temporal headache). 65mg Prednisolone prescribed daily for 2 weeks, then to reduce by 5mg per month. A couple of "flares" (just headaches) in the following 12 months

Neutropenia whilst on Tocilizumab
Hi. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. Diagnosed with PMR and GCA Nov. 2021. For last 2 months I have been on weekly Tocilizumab injections; this followed a further flare up in December 2023 when the entire aorta was inflamed (I have never had cranial symptoms). I was certainly shocked
