b12 keeps dropping ferritin
Hi Friends, Has anyone had success raising and maintaining ferritin after it dropped from b12 injections? I first caught the iron issue in October, after shots all last summer. I tried many supplements until landing on the least bad offender to my stomach. I got my ferritin to 33, but it dropped

positive then negative intrinsic factor
hi guys, I had a positive intrinsic factor blood test back in April and this was before any b-12 injections. Since then, the doctors have wanted to do two other intrinsic factor blood tests and both came back negative and the doctors are confused why is this? Thanks, Ella (:

Using cannabis oil for rls.
My rls became bad about eighteen months ago when I got
anaemia
. I have been on Sifrol. Recently have begun taking cannabis oil, 4ml twice a day. I have found it has curbed my legs during the day quite profoundly but when I get into bed at night off go the feet within ten minutes.

Blood Test Results
Would someone please be able to tell me what these blood test results mean please? I did add them on to a previous thread but I don't think they were showing up. I was told by my GP back in July that my TSH levels were low . I admitted that I did sometimes forget to take Levo so she wanted me to go

Finally
Morning I actually got to see my GP last night! Thankfully she listened ( borderline B12 and very low folate) this is after speaking to two other Gps in the surgery who didn’t believe me ☹️ Anyway she suggest Pernicious Anemia! Woohoo! So have some blood tests to follow ❤️

symptoms flare-up
I have been battling an iron deficiency since November, that seems to be a result of my correcting b12 deficiency with shots. I have not been taking the full recommended dose of iron until about a week ago. My ferritin is 25, which is up from 14, but still deficient. The last 3 weeks or so I have notice

Fatigue
Good Day Everyone My question is, should I be feeling fatigued with lymphocytes around 43 and haemoglobin at 12.1 g/dl or could the fatigue be caused by some other blood deficiency such as iron or vitamin B12. Thanks very much Ken

Time for you all to take another bow.
I have been working with someone for three years who is suffering and may be suffering from B12 deficiency. I do not give advice and certainly not medical advice. I have been sharing my experiences and information that I have. That is hard as the person is smart enough but does not have great reading

Ongoing anemia
Hello, I am thinking if my wife has ongoing anemia due to a bleed the Drs can't or won't find. Why wait for four months to give her red blood cells when she last had RBC transfusion 4 months ago it brought her Hgb up to 115, then three months ago had iron infusion. Which didn't really increase her Hgb

? RSV vaccine
Hi folks, I seem to remember a mention of the RSV shot not being great for CLL pts? Anyone have info or thoughts on this? And another question: I got my latest Covid booster a few weeks ago. During the injection (by a pharmacist) I noted I didn’t feel the med going into my muscle, and looked down quickly

Received letter today from surgical consultant who basically stated that the colonoscopy had not been necessary because the reason, a stool blood test, had in fact been negative, not positive, they would not be rebooking it, and were passing it back to GP to think again about my
anaemia

Sourcing Hydroxocobalamin, help please
Edit: Solved this issue. Thanks. Supplies now on order :) I've been self-injecting for a few years now, as GP refuses to diagnose B12 deficiency, in spite of several indications. I now need to buy more hydroxocobalamin but haven't kept a note of where I've previously bought from, in Germany.
