Blood tests
Morning all! I’m getting some blood tests tomorrow.. intrinsic factor IF (low B12 & folate) FBC and celiac? Questioning forPA? I have got my own B12 ampoules! Do I start my B12 complex at the same time as I start injecting? My folate is awful 3.8ug/L (<2.9) I have been taking my B12 complex sporadically

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 (:

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 ❤️

Why do I have a high pulse?
I was diagnosed with pernicious
anaemia
after asking to be tested. It turned out my Vitamin B12 level was 117 pmol/l. I was given cyancobalamine injections every 3 months. No loading doses. Later SI weekly with methylcobalamine I order from Germany.

Iron and ferritin advice requested
I have recently had a full set of iron and ferritin blood tests completed and would like some advice on the numbers, please (prior to these tests, only my ferritin levels have been tested). They result from early morning fasting with no iron supplements for one week. My serum ferritin was 160 µg/L.

Ferritin
I know that Ferritin is stored iron but I’m a bit confused about how Ferritin and iron correlate. Is it possible to have Ferritin in range but low iron - and what would be considered optimal Ferritin? My level has just been tested and has gone down from a stable 88 to 34 I’m sorry to be so dumb

A positive tale...so far
He diagnosed me with Autoimmune Negative Pernicious
Anaemia
, and recommend I continue with twice weekly subcutaneous injections, which he taught me to self administer. I gave my GP a copy of the consultant's letter along with a note to say I was going to self inject. Out and proud!

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

Sod's law.....revisited
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

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.

Buprenorphine and Naloxone 2mg/0.5 mg sublingual film
I need help from the members who have taken it or the brand name Suboxone. The oxycodone I have been taking since 2015 has lost effect therefore Doctor B prescribed Buprenorphine and Naloxone for me. The first day I experienced horrendous side effects, severe vertigo, nausea and vomting and anxiety
