Experiences with

Anaemia

Hiya I have decide for the first time test my full panel of iron . I have no clue what those results mean but could someone give me any insight or comment or shed the light if iam in good range or top of range of them ? I have done this through Monitor my Health and they haven’t provided ranges (

I’m hoping it’s the anaemia and not the polymyalgia coming back 😤😤

hello there , first of all I want to say that I suffer from hypothyroidism which is autoimmune and it was very important to test me for my iron so I took whole iron panel . I have no clue what those results mean but could someone give me any insight or comments if iam in good range or too if range

I understood that with pernicious anaemia we had very little gastric acid. Doctors always say oh just try them, and have no answer to my question. Can any of you good folk help.

I am thinking of arranging an appointment with a Neurologist but I am having great difficulty finding any Consultant who as an interest in Pernicious Anaemia.

FBCs fine - no anaemia or macrocytosis although higher MCH (31.6 range 27 - 32) than previously. GP dismissed the idea of further investigations as B12 is within normal range and no anaemia even though I pointed out Hashimotos and PA can go hand in hand. More background in my previous post.

We have a local guidance on the management of B12 deficiency based on the NICE Clinical Knowledge Summary: Anaemia – B12 and folate deficiency which can be found here .

After 7 years I have now got anaemia. Dr sent me back to consultant and I have had PET scan, endoscopy and colonoscopy. Within 2 weeks which is brilliant service. Having a further CT as colonoscopy wasn’t successful due to my weird anatomy.

Hi, I am a 20 year old female who has recently been diagnosed with pernicious anaemia (around the start of April). I was experiencing extreme tingling in my hands and feet which promoted the doctors to check my B-12 levels.

Hi Newbie here. Was diagnosed with PA this Sept gone after years of weird symptoms . Have congenital heart disease too and after having complex heart surgery two years ago my health got critical. I have reduced kidney function too. Yikes. Anyone else got similar health issues. Am being treated for PA

What can I do to help the anaemia improve and alleviate these symptoms? 2. Find it weird my bone marrow is not making red bloods fast as they do with PV and seems to be going the other way. What if it keeps pulling numbers down? Have a lovely weekend ❤️

I was diagnosed with pernicious anaemia after asking to be tested. It turned out my Vitamin B12 level was 117 pmol/l. I was given cyancobalamine injections every 3 months. No loading doses. Later SI weekly with methylcobalamine I order from Germany.

with pernicious anaemia. got the intrinsic factor test and all before starting treatment, and the specialist said it was congenital. prior to the diagnosis, i was experiencing quite some brain fog, depression, lost weight, and of course some low b12 and low iron and was hospitalized while i got all the

I know that there's a comorbidity with anaemia. I've emailed the hospital today to ask if it might be chronic illness anaemia or due to iron deficiency, just waiting to hear back from them. I'm tempted to just go and get some Feroglobin iron capsules as this fatigue isn't much fun.

Hi all, I recently did the 'Full health screen' from Monitor My Health and all the vitamin results have come back without proper ranges. Only the graphs. Which is irritating. BUT Would you supplement iron with these results? I can't afford to do a full iron panel, and I had assumed this test would

Hi, I was recently diagnosed with pernicious anaemia. Initially put on 3-monthly injections. Changed to 2-monthly by GP because of recurrence of neurological symptoms (including frequent scintillating scotomas, migraine and balance issues).

I have underactive thyroid and other medical problems have been tested in the past as positive for intrinsic factor antibodies and my mother had pernicious anaemia. I have annual blood tests but always told ‘normal’ I wonder though….

Am in the middle of the Could it be B12 book, as I am insufficient currently and wondered about B12 and pernicious anaemia (my dad seems to tick off a lot of the symptoms on the pernicious anaemia website, but appreciate there are lots of other things that can also cause them) However his bloods

Do I still need test for Pernicious anaemia?
