Hi, is a positive gastric parietal cell antibody test plus ongoing anaemia enough for a diagnosis of pernicious anaemia, even if serum B12 is in range?

Stem Cell Transplants
https://mpnforum.com/nicrev Hope this link works. Interesting interview about Stem Cell Transplant risk:reward and timing. I thought quite reassuring, especially since odds improving all the time. Five year survival rates are based on transplants pre 2013. The odds and risks should be even better by

Intrinsic Factor vs Parietal Cell Antibodies
If a person tested positive for the intrinsic factor antibody but negative to the parietal cell antibody, would that mean that the parietal cells in the stomach are not under attack, only the intrinsic factor that those cells produce? And would that mean that the stomach might be still producing acid

It took just 10 minutes final assessment yesterday for Keith (hospital rheumatologist) to tell me that Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) is over and the lack of headaches during the final months suggests there will not be any flares. It took 18 months tapering to wipe off the slate. He predicted this, saying

Waking after neurotoxicity
My dad suffered from neurotoxicity, pneumonia, and a fungal infection after Stem Cell Transplant. He had a unexpected and terrible reaction to anti-rejection medications and has been in a coma/ICU for 6 weeks. He recently emerged from coma is very weak and is still not able to speak or utter any sound

Interesting Question for the Psychiatrists and Geneticists Out There
I have always wanted to ask these two closely related questions; especially since my Psychiatrist told me that he had never heard of any situation even remotely close to mine and/or of any studies related at all to it. I am now a 54-year-old man with ADD. My symptoms are mainly "tactile" and "attention

Crime: Pastor With 5 SS Children Receives Judgment July 6
For the past 6 years, Pastor Abel Olukayode Adewale, 57, has been embroiled in legal tussles against one of Nigeria’s biggest and most powerful banks. The whole saga began on March 5 2012, when the Apostolic Church pastor received an alert for the sum of N1 million on his account with Wema Bank Plc.

Well got my results back and I guess this explains alot 🤦🏼♀️
Sorry for the lighting, if you cant see it it says 96.6 for parietal cell antibody range 0.0 - 24.9 Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Im not sure if this qualifies me as auto immune gastritis but thankfully we have discovered this.

Wow getting red hair to warn bad news to stay away is certainly working. Saw osteo surgeon again today regarding the initial hip pain and looked at all scan and MRI results. Seeing as I had a bone marrow transplant and radiation 27 years ago, which made me post menopausal, I have really good bones for

My back with compressed vertebrae and failed fusions has improved, with t score going from .7 to .8 and z score going from -0.1to 0.2, forearm score going

Pred tapering starts tomorrow
I was diagnosed with GCA/PMR May 7th and started on 60mg of prednisone. I will be lowering that dose to 50mg tomorrow. The doctor wants me to consider Tocilizumab weekly infusions. I have read the study and understand the side effects, but I would like to hear some of your thoughts and/or experiences

Eejit!!!!
Well, I guess there's a first time for everything... but feel I like a right idiot!!! It was 1:30 this afternoon, before I realised, I had forgotten to take my Prednisolone! I wondered why I felt weird and sluggish, just off... it was like I was going in slow motion and couldn't get going. Not

Lumber puncture
So today a neurologist came in at 11:00. Did a lumber puncture right in the room. Now it’s a waiting game. Which I hate. Gave me gababapentin. For headache. I only had 2 doses and I can’t tell if it’s working. Or how long it takes to kick in. I’m hoping to go home tomorrow. But my right leg is bothering
