On a blood test from my GP 3 weeks ago the results showed blasts, where previously I hadn’t had any. Obviously this caused me a great deal of worry. I had blood taken on Tuesday and spoke to haematologist this afternoon. He said he’d looked at the blood film on both tests himself and couldn’t see anything

Probably nearing treatment -some questions
My haematologist has sent a letter to my GP that she will be asking me to meet with her in several weeks time "with a view to starting treatment given the evidence of cutaneous progression." I missed my last appointment with her because she was ill, so had a phone appointment with another of the consultants

B12 & Folic Acid and Anxiety
I have suffered with anxiety and panic for a long time but since my loading doses of hydroxocobalamin and folic acid my anxiety and panic are unbearable. I just wondered if anyone experienced this and then started feeling better? I'm nervous to inject further and wondered if I'd be better waiting 2-3

B12 how much and how often
I’ve been struggling with PA for 2 and 1/2 years. No one would listen. Finally from Israel I was advised to get the Intrinsic Factor Antibody Blood Test and the Parietal Cell Antibody Blood Test. Pernicious Anemia. I have to take a shot of Methylcobalamin daily. The Israelis recommend taking a shot

Does anyone have a weak heart and fast heartbeat, physical anxiety feeling, as their main low b12 symptom?
I sometimes get a feeling of weak heart and uncomfortable chest, too fast heartbeat, and a feeling like physical anxiety in my stomach/heart while mentally feeling completely calm so it's definitely a physically caused thing. My heart area feels uncomfortable and it makes sleep very difficult. I also

Excess Folic Acid and Vitamin B12 Deficiency: Clinical Implications?
This is a very recent paper. Some of the areas covered are well-known. Such as not treating B12 deficiency with folic acid. But, in the more speculative parts, I think it does raise questions over the prescribing of high dose (e.g. 5 milligrams a day) of folic acid in those who are currently low in

another iron infusion? and low ALT level
Hello, dear RLS friends! I would really appreciate your advice regarding my mother's ferritin levels. So she is currently on 0.375 mg (some days up to 0.5 mg) and 900 mg neurontin. I know DAs are not optimal, but at this point it would really be a problem to withdraw, especially that mom did start with

Intrinsic Factor (IF) Antibodies testing while on B12
Hello folks - If someone has IF Antibodies and is taking b12 ...would that affect an IF and IF Antibodies blood test..? I dont think it should - as if you have errosive gastritis / malabsorbtion issues etc, you got them...and the B12 wont improve that in any way...? Thanks lovely PA folks

Cofactors - B complex?
should I be starting on a B complex? I had iron infusion end of May and have been on EOD B12 injections since then. I am also taking folic acid 5mg every day and a spray vitamin D & K. I have been reading that some people take a B complex, but the one I saw also has folate in it and don’t want to

Diet and B vitamins
Hello, I take a daily supplement dose of plant based vitamin B12 Complex and try to eat a range of foods that are healthy. I drink alcohol - maybe 5 units four/five times a week and I read that maybe I should take additional B vitamins to cover myself against there being insufficient to counteract this

After some B12 advice following results
Hi everyone, thanks in advance for reading. These sites and forums have been so useful since having found out I was deficient in a few things a few months ago. Following a blood test, it showed I had low B12, deficient in Folate and Vit D and low iron, but not deficient. This topic was not one I knew

Low red cell count but eat lots of red meat!
Is this

Help with self-injecting
Hi everyone. As scared as I am to think of self-injecting, I finally placed an order for B12 ampoules today. (Thanks, Wedgewood for the info!) I have injections every eight weeks but like clockwork at four weeks in, I always have trouble while out on walks, feel like I am going to fall over
