Has anyone here discovered they have endometriosis/and or adenomyosis at a later stage in life? Just found out at 50!
I have struggled with
anaemia
for years due to the heavy bleeding and last year my ferritin levels plummeted to just 3 and I had to beg for an infusion. Also last year, I opted for a uterine ablation to reduce the heavy bleeding.

b12 iron relationship?
Hi friends…I was diagnosed with a b12 deficiency in June, which is thankfully improving with injections (I had horrible neuro symptoms). I had my iron tested twice over the summer, both well in the good range (over 100). However, this week I had an iron panel showing my iron is 40 (literally the bottom

Iron deficiency
Hello I’m asking a question with regards to low ferritin levels (17.4). I’m confused whether I should be prescribed folic acid or iron?!

Stiff feet up to ankles
I have b12 injections every 3 months for pernicious
anaemia
which I was diagnosed with a couple of years ago. I had breathlessness issues and gastic issues. However my feet have felt stiff and tight before that. I also get more clumsy when my injection is due.

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.

Targinact
I have had RLS for over 20 years and have tried most medications, the latest being Pregabalin, which was good but is now not working so well. I therefore asked my GP if I could try Targinact as I read this is now licensed for RLS. He has agreed and I just need to taper Pregabalin. Can anyone

Start of B12 treatment but can I do exercise?
I have digestive issues (which I’ve learnt can affect absorption) and family history of pernicious
anaemia
but have been put on B12 supplements to take until another blood test in 3 months. I was given very little info at the appointment and have found out most of this since.

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

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

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.

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.
