2nd opinion please on if B12 okay or low?
Someone here suggested it low & I might benefit from a pernicious
anaemia
test (I do have symptoms) & vitamins. The trouble is, my GP is being a little short with me, so I am reluctant to ask for test, & instead opted for a week on sublingual B12 spray, & then an addition of B complex.

Iron Levels
Hi, Just a quick question if anyone is able to answer. I had some blood tests done a few weeks back at my GP Practice, thought everything was fine as didn't hear back with the results but was called this morning out of the blue. I have been advised that my iron levels are high and he may need to refer

B12 Injections/B12 Drops ?
I have had a number of neurogical symptoms for over a year so my GP agreed to my having EOD B12 injections for two weeks - my main improvements were instant, I was waking earlier 7am - (against 9am or later) and able to watch television without falling asleep in the evening - he then agreed to my having

Suspected B12 deficiency and about to start SI
Hi everyone, I’ve had ID
anaemia
(microcytic hypochromic) for over 20 years and was told by a GP many years ago that this was due to malabsorption.

Could ET mask a diagnosis of Vitamin B12 deficiency/Pernicious anaemia?
I have an ET JAK2 mutation diagnosis (on aspirin) and have some neurological type symptoms that are similar to those associated with a Vit B12 deficiency. Athough I'm now taking a B12 supplement, I was wanting to see if I could get a B12 injection in case my issue related to an inability to absorb B12

Book I just bought about Vitamin B12 Deficiency
In order to better prepare myself for my next visit with my GP, I bought the book "Vitamin B12 Deficiency in Clinical Practice" by Dr Joseph Chandy. My GP has been renewing my B-12 prescriptions for a few years and I self inject every 2 weeks. For some reason this year he tested my B-12 level and

T3 much better but feeling worse again!
I'm on a high dose of levo, 200mcg per day (I weigh 80kg right now), and just got test results back that show my T3 levels are much improved. However, of course, my TSH is now below range and my T4 way over. My ferritin, etc, is as bad as it's ever been, despite taking 210mg of ferrous fumarate each

letter from consultation
just had my letter from my meeting last week … still awaiting diagnosis but please I welcome your thoughts on this….. I note the serial blood counts that you kindly sent through from a number of different laboratories. These demonstrate a mild thrombocytosis, normal renal and liver function tests,

Iron. So confused.
Hi all, I'm going crazy with trying to understand what is going on with my iron levels right now. I recently got a NHS iron panel test that came back high - suggesting iron overload to which my GP panicked, but critically they missed off serum ferritin as there was a national reagent shortage. Following

Blood Tests for Children
Hi all Finally managed to get blood tests for my children but annoyingly, my daughter was not tested for all cofactors - just B12. Son is being tested tomorrow and I want to give him a list to give to the nurse, but I can’t remember all the cofactors. Not one off my best days today! B12 Vitamin

Anemia question
Hello there, I've been tested multiple times over the years and gets results similar to my most recent results which follow. I am hypothyroid and have psoriatic arthritis and Drs say that these results are typical for people with these conditions and not to worry about them overly. I have chronic insufficient

Postherpetic Neuralgia and B12
Not directly related to PA, but nonetheless of potential interest to those with PA as well as anyone with Postherpetic Neuralgia. (I currently have PHN and am taking methylcobalamin every day. Alongside capsaicin cream. Difficult to know if it is helping, but I think it is.) [i]

Pernicious Anaemia, Hashimoto's, Connective Tissue disorder, Migraine
Hi, I was recently diagnosed with this condition. I also have Hashimoto's thyroiditis (diagnosed in my thirties). Any advice on supplementing B12 injections would be much appreciated.
