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.

Anaemia- CALR+ET
The Consultant Haematologist(NHS) has told me that recent blood tests indicate
anaemia
. Haemaglobin level 110x10gl. He doesn’t consider this is caused by interferon. He has ordered further haematinic assays. I eat a balanced diet so can’t understand why I’m anaemic- never have been.

Ducks in a row
I was first diagnosed with Pernicious
anaemia
3 or 4 years ago but thought nothing of it until my legs and arms started going numb and I kept falling round the place and had difficulty walking and getting up from a fallen or seated position.

My son's blood test results
Could this be pernicious
anaemia
? His grandfather and great grandfather both had PA and I have had similar symptoms that have been treated with levothyroxine.

Is the Pernicious Anaemia Society commenting on the proposed new NICE guidelines?
I am surprised not to see any mention of the new NICE guidelines on the PAS website. I was a paid up member last year but did not renew membership this year as to be honest it did not seem to offer value for money. Given the number of people who are struggling with inappropriate diagnosis/treatment I

Iron could help B12 levels
Hi everyone, I’ve never post before… but I came across some useful information that could help you all. In my own personal experience I developed a b12 deficiency for no particular reason, I’ve been tested for pernicious anemia and that came back negative, I put it down to a mixture of a restricted

Boron, an interesting article about supplement for T3 increase
Found this article which I found interesting as a possible supplement to assist with T3 may consider after next blood test if no improvement. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4712861/?fbclid=IwAR3dMJ-9rLLZ47g1qBU4LbMViJROk8gIbRNhijGMMW3giwHjVbsY06Huppk

Low UIBC result from bloodwork?
Hi, All. I had bloodwork done recently and I'm wondering if anyone knows if the low UIBC might be affecting my RLS/PLMD. Ferritin was 169 (down from very high values after a blood infusion for rls in April 2021). The UIBC was flagged as Low at 126, Iron Saturation was flagged as high: Iron 172 UIBC

Should we lobby for modern healthcare to be a blend of Conventional Medicine AND Functional Medicine?
This is my question of the day... We are all suffering, horribly. From ignorance, mainly. Sorry to point it out... Management of B12, of gut health, of everything that happens to a body from a deficiency relies on the study of functional medicine. It is not the domain of conventional medicine, e.g

Advice on latest test results
Hi, I got diagnosed with underactive thyroid in September 2023. I was put on 50g of Levothyroxine and iron tablets as I had low ferritin and anemic. My latest results show I'm no longer anemic but my ferritin is still relativity low despite having been on iron tablets for 2 months. Dr seems to be

I had heard that some of you were looking for me. I have not been on too much these past few months as I had completely crashed, completely non-functional, with a severe case of iron deficiency. I apologize for not posting what was going on with me sooner. But the severe, severe fatigue just did

Conjecture
I use conjecture as part of my creative process. Thing is I do not pretend it is anything but conjecture. Using those who share their experience on this forum it seems to me that of the three forms readily commercially available Methylcobalamin has the most profound effect. As a person who is not

iron results
I’d appreciate some feedback on my iron panel results please? I know my ferritin is too low, even if it’s above the bottom of the range. I upped how much black pudding, pate, or liver I’m eating at 5 out of 7 days a week for over a couple of months. Is my iron too decent enough to be able to take
