Pernicious anaemia?
I am a 60 year old male leading a healthy, low stress lifestyle. I have never had any medical conditions (apart from a bout of pancreatitis a couple of years ago) and never been on any medications apart from the occasional pain killer or dose of antibiotics. I exercise and meditate daily. I don't drink

Some Help with Vits and Mins Please
Hello It's a constant struggle for me to raise and hold my ferritin, folate and B12 levels. They fight to drop lower all the time.

High Platelet Diagnosis Update….
She said that iron deficiency without
anaemia
could still cause an elevated platelet count. As such I was to take iron tablets for 6 months, I am currently at the 3 month mark and my iron has improved and platelets have come down from 565 to 513.

worried about high levels
Good morning everyone. It has been a while, and I had asked for blood tests before I went and had some private B12 injections, as my own Doctor had stopped them. My B12 was also low due to malabsorbtion, and PA results were borderline. I am symptomatic and feeling really bad lately. Its over a year

My GP wants me to have blood tests...
During a recent appointment for a colonoscopy my GP has insisted I go in for blood tests. However my procedure and outcome for the colonoscopy were fine, but I am asking for a repeat prescription for my B12 (agreed I self inject at home for the last year). I know I will be told I cannot have a repeat

Help with diagnosis (GP) and anyone sought help from private healthcare?
Because I take multi B vits, and additional B12 and folate, my test didn't indicate PA, but other elements indicate PA, or some sort of

HNY!... and a warning for those who lead busy lives (aka all of us)
This is more of a warning to those of you who lead busy lives and live with pernicious

/ B12 deficiency. I was diagnosed in November 2020 after a desperate 9 month journey in the Australian health system left me bedridden.

when will I start feeling better?
hi all. Have been injecting daily with methylcobalamin for 2 months as well as taking liquid iron. I’ve heard people say it takes “a while “ to start feeling better, just wondering how long we are talking. I need my daily dizziness to go away or know if it’s not being caused by anemia. Thanks!

Did anyone get any strange or unusual comorbidities around the time of their B12 deficiency or PA diagnosis? I just spoke with the hospital concerning a check-up on my parotid gland - a pleomorphic adenoma I had removed in 2020 along with a co-occurring thyroid nodule removal. They state that they
