Experiences with

Anaemia

Over the past 2 mths I have developed severe stomach and bowel pain. I suspect I may be suffering from opioid induced bowel dysfunction?? Other more serious causes have been ruled out. Also have poor appetite. It has taken me 25years to find something that relieves my RLS, am terrified now regarding

Have very low b12 and iron. Had three injections of b12 and still don’t feel any better? Schedule is for 5 more shots then recheck levels. Taking iron supplements for 5 weeks now also. Thanks

People new to Pernicious Anaemia/vitamin B12 deficiency who have no choice to self inject are often confused as to the frequency that they should. You may want to consider Hunter’s words, ‘[i]Don’t think, try[/i].’ Your body tells you by symptoms, so listen to it.

My husband’s mylofrobisis has progressed to high risk . He was just put on jakafi at 10mg twice a day for about a month now He feels much better after changing from droxia to Jakafi and his appetite is good and not as anemic.. however we just came in from seeing his MPN doctor and his hemoglobin

HI Everyone (Especially Slow Dragon) I have just returned from a Dr's appointment as he wanted to discuss my thyroid results, (see previous posts, TSH 0.03. He has reduced dose from 100/75 to 75 and said that I can take Iron pills for extreme tiredness even though my iron levels are fine, but my ferritin

has anyone tried grass fed beef liver supplements. I’m wondering if these freeze dried capsules would be beneficial because of the vitamins and minerals in them as I don't seem to be able to keep my levels of anything up without supplementing. As soon as I stop they seem to drop again quite quickly ,

Why does b12 injections make my anxiety worse for a few days?I have anemia. Have had 3 injections and have 5 more to go.

Hi, I hope you're all hanging on in there and having a better day than me,,, I have just started a loading dose of 6 Vit B12 injection because I've been suffering badly for a year now with Pins and Needles all over my body daily especially my head. I have had 5 injections now and I'm still the same

In the past treating my anaemia usually helped, but recently nothing has helped apart from applying heat wraps to my lower back. Until now that is. This spring I started to have pains in the balls of my feet.

I’m in a complete mess. In 2011 I was diagnosed with vitamin B12 deficiency, my level was 154 and I also had vitamin D deficiency and iron deficiency at the same time. I was given loading doses of B12 and felt so much better and then went onto 3 monthly injections. I found that towards the end of the

Hi, All. I had bloodwork done recently and I'm wondering if anyone knows if the low UIBC might be affecting my RLS/PLMD. Ferritin was 169 (down from very high values after a blood infusion for rls in April 2021). The UIBC was flagged as Low at 126, Iron Saturation was flagged as high: Iron 172  UIBC

I sent him all of my test results and told him all of my symptoms and he concluded that I definitely have pernicious anaemia and I need injections every other day along with folic acid daily and consuming potassium rich foods.

[/u] Tell them if your Sister, Mother, Brother etc has Pernicious Anaemia, Hashimoto’s disease or Coeliac disease. By doing this, I strongly believe that you are cutting a Clinician’s work by half. Sometimes, it honestly feels like we are wading through mud.

This is my question of the day... We are all suffering, horribly. From ignorance, mainly. Sorry to point it out... Management of B12, of gut health, of everything that happens to a body from a deficiency relies on the study of functional medicine. It is not the domain of conventional medicine, e.g

I had heard that some of you were looking for me. I have not been on too much these past few months as I had completely crashed, completely non-functional, with a severe case of iron deficiency. I apologize for not posting what was going on with me sooner. But the severe, severe fatigue just did

FT3 3.1 pmol/L (range 3.1 - 6.8 pmol/L) 0% FT4 15.3 pmol/L (range 12 - 22 pmol/L) 33% TSH 1.5mu/L (range 0.27 - 4.2 mu/L) Vit D 64 nmol/L No other results, as there was an issue with the Anaemia Hb test. They are going to send me another test kit. I will post these when I get them.

Hashimoto's and has been very symptomatic again recently with major digestive issues, fatigue, raised heart rate and swallowing issues...we got a private blood test as our surgery had a 4 week wait..it came back that she has low RDW-SD 33.90 should be between 37-49...does this indicate some form of anaemia

hi last iron haemoglobin was 15.7 top range of 15 and ferritin was 22 (as usual although that’s quite good for me! Range 15- 200(?)). I was beginning to get that rubbish short of breath way I do when ferritin goes very low (been at 3 few years ago). TSH was jumping about a bit and I don’t have other
