Iron supplementation is often advised on this forum. This article points up new research on the effect of iron on Alzheimer's.

Hi, can anyone advise on polops found Endoscopy. Have Auto immune atrophic gastritis with metaplasia, thanks

I recently got a bunch of lab tests done by a functional medicine doctor. I thought I had too much iron. My UIBC was lab low at 91(range 131-425), my iron was lab high at 204(range 27-159), and iron saturation was lab high at 69%(range 15-55%).But ferritin was somewhat low, though not lab low. It was

Was doing OK, not brilliant and was certin I hahe Pernicious Anaemia too. I have been taking medichecks tests the whole time too.

There was no mention of B12 supplement but I will ask about pernicious anaemia next week. Please can I ask if I should start with a B12 supplement or B complex now or wait. Below is a link to my previous post and also my Medicheck results.

We have a local guidance on the management of B12 deficiency based on the NICE Clinical Knowledge Summary: Anaemia – B12 and folate deficiency which can be found here .

Hello, I have tried googling if there is any interaction between pregabalin and iron but can’t find anything. I take an iron tablet due to low iron (morning and it has not helped) but will switch to iron bisglycinate at night after reading posts here. I stop eating at 6:30pm so I can take my pregabalin

Check these studies out! I printed a few copies for my medical practice Abstract Although cobalamin (vitamin B12) deficiency was described over a century ago, it is still difficult to establish the correct diagnosis and prescribe the right treatment. Symptoms related to vitamin B12 deficiency may

Hi all, I've been on a reduced levothyroxine dose of 125mcg for the last 8 weeks and i stopped taking the iron tablets as my stomach was too painful, so for the past 7 weeks i've been using an iron patch. My dr agreed to retest my iron as i didn't want to be wasting my time and money if the patches

I see many people discussing the blood disorder aspect of Pernicious Anaemia but as yet have not seen many people who talk about the other problems it can cause! I have had, since being diagnosed with PA, terrible tinnatus.

I inject b12 daily or at least every other day for over two years now. I'm lots better by now but have still slight polyneuropathy left. During this time I've experimented with different dosages of folic acid (as well as with methyl folate and folinic acid) but I'm still not sure what works best for

Hi everyone, Just wondering if anyone has been diagnosed with Euthyroid Sick Syndrome or thinks they may have it? I am now beginning to think that my problems are due to this and not Hypothyroidism. Am thinking of getting a reverse T3 test but it's quite expensive.This cannot be treated with meds so

Got bloods taken last week, the GP who ordered them isn't in until Wed, but I spoke to receptionist who said all had been returned as "normal" levels. I asked her to read out my ferritin and she said it was 64. So I know this isn't "normal" for folks with RLS and I image the GP will put me on iron supplements

Are there any other people on this forum who have Primary Auto Immune Haemolytic Anaemia (AIHA)

At present a lot of mental discomfort with buzzing at the sides of my head /where I suspect the arteries

When I first started doing trials I did them for 120 days, then 90. This was based on the average lifespan of a red blood cell which I no longer consider. I found over time that 30 day trials seemed effective sometimes I found the results to be definitive in 7+- days when reducing or eliminating And

I should mention I have pernicious anaemia so on b12 injections also had very low vit d, so also treating that last 2 months (under a private dr for b12 and vit d ) in case there is any relevance as PA and hashi's are autoimmune diseases
