Experiences with

Anaemia

I have been diagnosed with gastritis and anaemia this year. My B12 was 264 in April, but as this is in range, both Neurologist and GP’s say it is ok. 🤨 I am taking oral supplements which help with fatigue. Thank you for any help.

I wrote a couple of weeks ago about visiting the dentist and finding out that she knew about Pernicious anaemia. She is recently qualified and it was part of her dental exam, and she was questioned about it.

is an iron saturation of 18 % too low ? Worrying again . Says normal on report but I don t think it is .

Hi all! Had my endoscopy last Friday.. my follow up (awaiting biopsies) I have mild erosive Gastritis which I understand can prevent B12 from absorbing? My Gastroenterologist says I haven’t got B12 deficiency ( before endoscopy) last test was 6 months ago! 226 ng/l (178ng/L - 2000ng/L (I did quote

How does ApS relate to ehlers danos syndrome, underactive thyroid, POTS and CRPS, pernicious anaemia. Any information please or anyone who has been through this. Thanks

Hi All, I am new on here with newly diagnosed pernicious anaemia. I had the standard 2 weeks of injections and after that course felt fantastic energy wise for 5 days. Still having neurological symptoms , hands not working properly, seeing dark shadows, breathless and suddenly gasping.

I finished V and O early April. I was told my blood results were great and I likely am in remission. I got my bloodwork results today for my appointment with my oncologist this Friday. My RBC, 3.86, hemoglobin 116, hematocrit .339, all low. Looking back over the past year, these results were occasionally

Hi Does anyone know of a haematologist or any doctor in Sydney who treats Pernicious Anaemia? Thanks

My son has history with h pylori, which he was treated for, but the symptoms haven't gone away completely. Last week I was talking about my own b12 deficiency and he informed me he has the same symptoms. I know he has been more tried than normal, but I put it due to the h pylori, after effects. As that

I have just done a second gut microbiome test. The first one I did in August last year showed I had a score of 7.2, which indicated I have little stomach acid. The one I have just done has come back higher at 8.1 (ideal range should be 5.8 - 6.5). Does anyone else have this? Is is a good indication

Hello, I have been on loading doses (initially from my GP and now SI) for 7 weeks and am slowly improving. My initial active B12 was 48.1 ng/L, serum 162.

I’ve just started olaparib maintenance therapy following debunking and chemo that finished in January. I have started to get blue lips. My only other side effects are joint pain (helped by onega 3 and exercise) and mild nausea. Has anyone else had blue lips? Is it serious?

Finally, after months of hitting my head against a brick wall with my GP practice, where Buprenorphine is firmly red-listed (and the partners flatly refuse to change their stance, even after being presented with all the research we know about on this site), I have been able to obtain an NHS prescription

I had my first 6 monthly injection a couple of weeks ago. 2 nights later I was up every half hour to pee and/or poo all night! Since then I've had a lot of grumbly tummy and also pain - shoulders, neck, arms - a bit like PMR but not quite. Upping the pred didn't seem to make much difference. Could these

Just read from a post by Rexz , that in the U.S.A. a diagnosis of Pernicious Anaemia can be confirmed by examining the pathology of the parietal cells .( by endoscopic ultra-sound ) This seems an excellent method for confirming such a serious condition as P.A.Which can lead to serious health problems

Hello all you good people out there. I want to say a big thank you to everyone who replied to my recent post. I have found the advice you have given me very helpful. Of course l have had RLS so long now l know most of the things you should do or shouldn’t do. I did wonder recently what my iron level
