B12 over 4000 with injections, any need to worry?
Hello lovely people, I've been SI 1500ug twice weekly since mid December as a bit of an experiment to see if it would help my symptoms, many which are neuro. Not officially diagnosed as B12 deficient as my blood tests before were all fine but I was heavily supplementing so not really possible to say

Inositol?
I have Pernicious
Anaemia
and hypothyroidism also. I was wondering about people's experience with Inositol as it aids losing weight? I have struggled with this for a long time, no matter what I do I just cannot shift any weight. Any advice is welcome, thank you!

High Folate with PA terrible GP
Hello everyone, Im afraid this might be a little long, but i hope someone can help me. It has been a long and upsetting morning. It started with a 630am ER visit for excruciating groin/hip pain for past 6 days and very hard to walk. Anyway, I'm confused. Some of my tests came back surprising. I

Hi! I am now going to be starting Vitamin B12 injections in a couple of weeks, one every other day for 2 weeks then one every three months.

anaemia and ADT
but my worry is that I am becoming anaemic with my results as below - I read somewhere that
anaemia
can be an ADT/low T problem but it isn’t usually due to low Iron - And taking iron May not be an appropriate response.

If taking B12 supps skew's PA Intrinsic Factor test, does it do the same for Gastric Parietal Cell AB too?
Hi Everyone, Im a bit out of my depth here and wondered if you could help please. Ive taken B Complex for nearly 25 years, I do wonder whether serum levels have always been scuppered, as I read again that to do a credible PA , MMA test I needed to be off B12 for minimum 4- 6 moths , possibly longer

B vits pyridoxal-5-phosphate (vitamin B6)
What B vitamins do people take and what brands have pyridoxal-5-phosphate (vitamin B6) in? What else do people take other than potassium rich diet and B vitamins and what form do you take folic acid in? I've heard it should be folate as folic acid isn't very good? Thanks

Recently diagnosed, WBC numbers stable but RBC/HGB trending down
Hi Everyone, I was diagnosed this October. My current WBC is around 15,000. I am Del 13q and mutated, so good markers. My 3 month blood draw actually showed a slight decrease in WBC, however for the third draw in a row my RBC and HGB have gone down. HGB is low end of normal and RBC is slightly

GP call
Well quite a good discussion with my GP just now! Reiterated my symptoms of B12 deficiency, Folate deficiency, Hypothyroidism, vegetarian and having a gastric band 12 years ago a lightbulb came on! Oh so yes probably good idea for B12 injections! She said she will write to gastroenterologists (I thought

Folate test prep
I’ve been asked to retest my folate as this was rejected from my latest batch of blood tests, earlier this month. I’ve not had just folate tested before (only as part of a wider set of tests) please can you advise on any prep I need to do for just folate? Assuming I should stop Thorne Basic B

Iron plus zinc better for iron deficiency anemia
reading about zinc I came across the following article. I mean it focuses on chronic kidney desease but I found this gem of info stating that zinc combined with iron is better than iron alone. Now I'm not iron deficient. But I thought this might be interesting for those who are. Beware too much zinc

haemoglobin values.
hello good souls. I have had PA for 40 years. My haemoglobin level is always around 103 and ferrous normal. it is always considered to be expected in view of my B12 deficiency. Therefore acceptable. Do others have this problem. I feel it causes me tiredness and lack of energy.

Elevated red blood cell count
Morning all I've had a couple of blood tests since Xmas and both show a slightly elevated red blood cell count. I don't smoke and the GP seemed concerned but hasn't offered any ideas. Now I wonder if its thyroid related and if when I'm properly medicated that might reduce? Also see elevated hemoglobin

Ferritin Questions
Hi everyone. I self inject b12, 3x per week. I also take a daily dose of methylfolate. In the past both of these have been extremely low, along with very low ferritin. Of late I have wondered if my iron was dropping, so requested bloods a couple of weeks ago. Folate happily is pretty good at 19( at

Update on colonoscopy
The objective of procedure was to see if any gastric issue causing blood loss /
anaemia
/ very low iron. Consultant keen to try again but this time agreed to use CT colonography which uses a less brutal bowel prep and is a very quick, less intrusive procedure.
