Experiences with

Anaemia

Hi I've got two questions for today if thats ok: 1. I've finally managed to get my iron panel results (second time of trying) and the results are as follows: All in range: Iron 16 TIBC 64.5 UIBC 48.5 Out of range: Transferrin saturation 24.8 Ferritin 13.4 So from what I gather from reading

Hello, I was wondering how to tell if you need b12 injections when you take oral b12 and your serum b12 always comes out looking great? I haven't had it tested recently but past tests always come out way over the range. Anyway, I saw a post by @Marz in which she said that she takes b12 due to having

I have heard of the Cambridge anaemia Clinic . Has anybody on here used it please. I have seen it recommended on other sites. Thanks

Hi everyone, I usually hang out in the Thyroid group because I've got Hashimoto's, but someone suggested I may have pernicious anaemia based on my B12 blood test results, below. My levels have been high for years. They used to be over 1000 but they've come down now.

Three months ago I revisited "What you need to know about PERNICIOUS ANAEMIA AND B12 DEFICIENCY" by our wonderful Martyn Hooper.

Pernicious Anaemia/vitamin B12 deficiency can be the basis of psychiatric symptoms and diagnoses and developmental disabilities. I am terribly sorry that my knowledge of the latter is limited.

I am preaching to the choir to tell you that the US healthcare is a mess. I still do not have answers or a transfusion. My hem/onc wanted me back in the ER, and last night’s ER doctor did not do all the bloodwork she wanted even though the two hospitals are in the same system. I chose to go to Yale Nee

My GP agreed to do an intrinsic factor antibody test. The test he did was IgA and the results came back as within normal range.1.10gl normal range 0.8 to 4.0 . Was this the correct test for pernicious anemia? Thank you

I have written an article about my RLS experience which I have been working to disseminate in the medical and research communities. The bulk of the article follows: The medical community is generally unaware of the benefit of a low oxalate diet for treatment of RLS. In 2015, after 5 years of closely

Hi, I have an anaemia test kit from Monitor My Health. Does it matter what time of day I do the fingerprick? What about eating or drinking, does that matter? I know I need to get it in the post asap. Thanks for any help from those more expereinced with these tests 😊

with pernicious anaemia. got the intrinsic factor test and all before starting treatment, and the specialist said it was congenital. prior to the diagnosis, i was experiencing quite some brain fog, depression, lost weight, and of course some low b12 and low iron and was hospitalized while i got all the

Had a blood test done two days ago and my hematocrit is 55% my hematocrit of 44% is classed as high my haemoglobin is 168 and the optimal range is 155 (high end)alongside my liver and calcium levels and my ferritin has dropped again to 26. My TSH was 2.90 optimal range of 0.25-4.90. My white blood cells

She is undiagnosed, we are trying to rule a great many issues out (UA, Anaemia, Pernicious Anaemia, autoimmune and others). Questions B12 has dropped massively. She's been supplementing 500mcg daily. Medichecks testing info says to stop B12 two weeks beforehand so she did this.

At the time I was having very successful B12 loading injections for anaemia but after his death I was overwhelmed with work.

Hi I just wanted to check if there was a best time of the day to have a blood test for iron as there is for thyroid. Many thanks

Hi I recently started SI twice a day thanks to the advice of the wonderful people here I recently had surgery and this seems to have thrown my B12 levels out of wack. My twitching has been moderate the past week which I put down to the extra B12 although I hoped it would settle down.Having the odd

A few years ago I regularly had blood tests which showed high iron levels so my doc suspected Haemochromatosis. I had the genetic testing which showed I had the gene mutation. I used to get blood drawn to treat it and bring down my iron levels. However, recently I had blood tests which showed low ferritin

Has anyone else had this? It happen to my toes when I was in the shower the other day too. I don’t know if it’s Raynauds or my low ferritin/anemia or what. About to go for a colonoscopy this week for the anemia and a high positive FIT test but I can’t see it being linked to that.

Hi everyone, I posted recently asking for advice about Targinact, which I started taking on 10 January. I had such an extreme and horrible reaction that I stopped taking it 15 days later. Given my dose was only 5/2.5mg daily, I haven't had any withdrawal issues other than feeling very tired and depressed
