Advice on iron status
Hi lovely people, I was hoping to get some advice on my iron status. A bit of background, I have just recently increased levo to 88mcg a couple of weeks ago, and was on 75mcg before that. So, I am aware that my thyroid hormone is still too low. It's a slow process getting docs to increase! My question

Iron levels
Had an awesome break through with a locum GP who checked my iron levels, found them to be low and gave me Ferrous Sulphate. It’s worked wonders. Yay! However, three months in and my normal GP has asked me to go for another blood test to check my iron levels now and won’t give me further ferrous sulphate

Why don’t I notice an increase in energy? Have had three b12 injections.
Have very low b12 and iron. Had three injections of b12 and still don’t feel any better? Schedule is for 5 more shots then recheck levels. Taking iron supplements for 5 weeks now also. Thanks

[i]Pernicious
Anaemia
is an autoimmune disease so inflammation can be everywhere[/i]. The brain is particularly susceptible. So, this can be a complication of PA or any another Autoimmune Disease which we may have. However, the recognition and management of Encephalitis is very poor by medics.

blood test-nutrients advice
Hi everyone! First of all, I have to say thank you. This is my first time posting, but I've been lurking around here for a while now and I have already learnt so much from this forum! I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in Nov 2021 and put on 25mcg levothyroxine. It has been a slow battle to get doctors

Don't want to go back on the pill/more surgeries! Deep infiltrating endo on bowel and uterine polyp removed recently for heavy bleeding.
Had so much bleeding and clots for 3 weeks, needed blood transfusion and iron infusion due to excessive blood loss and severe
anaemia
. Discovered and removed uterine polyp and it stopped the bleeding immediately. Polyp was the cause of the heavy bleeding for me.

New papers on PA
There are often new interesting papers on pernicious anemia. I will add them to this thread to keep them all in one place. I'll try to the pick the ones I think are most novel & relevant, but plenty are published every month. To see more, check Google Scholar https://scholar.google.com/scholar?start=

Can anyone help with iron panel interpretation please
This is a friend’s recent iron panel Posted a couple of days ago but hoping for a better response this time I’ve looked on rT3 adrenals where it says a low transferrin level indicates a lack of capacity for supplemental iron. I really don’t understand this when it’s clear her whole panel is low,

Advice about diarrhoea symptoms please
I have had very little assistance from my GP in relation to my Pernicious
Anaemia
with gastric parietal cell antibodies diagnosis earlier this year. GP reluctantly agreed 5 loading doses but no more than three monthly injections after that, even though I have neurological symptoms.

interesting find
has anyone tried grass fed beef liver supplements. I’m wondering if these freeze dried capsules would be beneficial because of the vitamins and minerals in them as I don't seem to be able to keep my levels of anything up without supplementing. As soon as I stop they seem to drop again quite quickly ,

Late covid
My health centre is the same one that my parents used and took me and my siblings to. I am 76 years old. The building and street locations have changed and of course the doctors too but we in our town have always considered the present building to be our local, first port of call when we or our own

Still beta, so US spelling and orientation, but I think it made a pretty good fist of this one:- Why don’t doctors treat Pernicious
Anaemia
properly? Pernicious anemia is a type of anemia that is caused by a lack of vitamin B12.

Advice on low B12 please
Also, my maternal grandmother had pernicious
anaemia
. She died aged 28, in childbirth, due to complications of pernicious
anaemia
(this was in the 1930s though!). I was wondering whether there is a genetic element to the condition? Any advice would be welcomed. Thank you.
