Underactive Thyroid, Hashimoto, Anaemia or none of the above
Any thoughts on the below please? I am considered normal but hoping to see an Endo specialist privately. I do have some more blood test results re: blood count but thought these might be the key ones. Can add if needed Creatinine 83 (range 53 - 97) Calcium 2.41 mmol (no normal range) CKD 75ml/min/1.73m2

Has anyone tried methyl cobalamin for injection from India, japan and Malaysia?
In these countries methylcobalamine is sold in supermarket. Indian methylcobalamine is so cheap and look like they have proper certificates for quality assurance. In the meantime there are some facilitators for continuous delivery of hydroxocobalamin which are so cheap and work like insulin pump work

Folate deficiency - inherited ?
I have folate deficiency
anaemia
, all the time unless I take folate. Fatigue/exhaustion. My grandad had pernicious
anaemia
and thyroid bless him. I wonder if it’s related… I also have thyroid disorder.

Should I have been tested for PA before starting loading doses?
Hi everyone, I'm currently on my loading doses and have a sneaking worry that my treatment/investigatons into PA aren't as efficient as I'd previously thought - I'd appreciate some advice as I sometimes find the clinical information online very complicated/contradicting. Firstly they will only give me

Golden Anniversary
To the relief of both of us (as I think Dr Wool was getting a bit frustrated with my long, ongoing “condition” too) the second Schillings Test had showed that I was suffering from Pernicious
Anaemia
and I was to have Cytamen (cyanocobalamin) injections every four weeks from then on.

Can you help me interpret?
This was on a CDC handout that an immunologist friend gave me regarding vaccines. Does this mean we have to stop our ibrutinib, for example, two weeks before the vaccine ? or two weeks before and two weeks after we get the vaccine or booster? Quote: “Whenever possible, COVID-19 vaccines should be

Venetoclax and calquence combo for Cll
Anyone have experience with V and Calquence together? My husband has been on calquence 4 months but Haemotolgist states his bone marrow still 80 to 90% full of cancerous lymphocytes. Doc wants V and R but husband has had no issues with Calquence and would prefer to stay on it along with Venetoclax. Lymphocytes

What monitoring is required after treatment for vitamin B12 deficiency has started?
Source: https://cks.nice.org.uk/topics/
anaemia
-b12-folate-deficiency/management/management/ Is this correct, that from 7 to 10 days after loading doses start this blood test should be done? I have started my loading doses two days ago.

Repeat blood test after loading dose???
My B12 level was very low <100 and after testing I was diagnosed with pernicious
anaemia
. A couple of weeks after the loading dose my blood was retested and came back with a B12 level of 2000 - not surprising as I’d had the loading dose.

Migraine Medication and Blood Pressure Medication
Hello Everyone. I have been having neck pain along with dizziness. I was referred to a neurologist who thinks that I'm suffering from migraines. He gave me ubrelvy Medication to take while in the office and prescription for Ubrelvy 100 mg. It took away the neck pain but it also knocked me out for

Feeling I’ll after B12 injections
I hope like me you are all coping the best you can with your pernicious
anaemia
/B12 deficiency. I am fortunate after 6 years without injections due to a young inapt doctor saying I didn’t need them to now being in the hands of a brilliant GP.

What will 2022 bring?
I wanted to be able to feel more positive for 2022 and wish people a happy new year. But after watching the news last night (never do this before bed!) I can feel the fear and anxiety building again after having my family safely at home for the past couple of weeks. Lack of availability on LFD and PCR

The struggle for injections continues!
I have a very clear diagnosis of pernicious
anaemia
and am still left with many neurological problems because of not being diagnosed before the damage was done and then struggling for now nearly three years trying and failing to get the correct treatment following loading doses.

Understanding your blood test
