Detection of a bacterial infection: Procalcitonin test
How to figure out if antibiotics should be considered ? There is a blood test measuring levels of Procalcitonin: if it is below 0.1 ng/mL, a bacterial infection is very unlikely, so antibiotics would be of no help. My question is: how reliable is this indicator, especially on the false negative side

Increased fatigue levels / Breathlessness and Petechiae
Hello again... I have another appt today with the doc as I have been feeling really grotty lately. Since my last appt I have developed Petechiae on my stomach, increased levels of fatigue and breathlessness. I'm still working a 45 hr week currently but it feels like I'm dragging myself through the week

B12 injections and vaginal bleeding.
Hi all, I am new here and I would value some imput. I'm 68 and recently discovered that my B12 is too low. I received six B12 injections from a nurse at my surgery (and scheduled for three monthly for further injections). One week after the injections and I have experienced some vaginal bleeding. Do

Methycobalamin Powder Needed
Hi everyone, I have been ordering methycobalamin in powder form from a lab in the UK. I get it in this form because b12 loses potency when water is added and it's exposed to light. So I get the powder in vials, add saline solution, and do intramuscular injections. This worked very, very well for me

Suspected B12 deficiency and about to start SI
Hi everyone, I’ve had ID
anaemia
(microcytic hypochromic) for over 20 years and was told by a GP many years ago that this was due to malabsorption.

Interesting fact about B12 levels.
'The "normal" levels of B12 have been set at those levels necessary to prevent pernicious
anaemia
- this may not be the same as those levels for optimal biochemical function.' Maybe we should be referring our GP's to the article?

Club B12 - UK group sharing B12 research
I believe PAS (Pernicious
Anaemia
Society) has some input into this group. Club B12 https://www.club-12.org/ They are currently in the process of registering as a charity.

Diabetes Insipidus has changed name
(Can't help hoping that Pernicious
Anaemia
get sensibly renamed - that name causes no end of confusion.)

I supplement with vit d, selenium, b complex, magnesium and iron for

Neurological Systems not Accepted.
In my work as a consultant I often do a "Critical Flaw Study." when a client is considering pursuing a building project. It is a study to determine what a bureaucratic or judicial board must agree to or ignore or the project will not be approved. Most consultants just dive in and wait for the critical

Does anyone use ‘Active Iron’ in UK?
I searched for ferrous bisglycinate on Amazon UK which came up with Active Iron 25mg. I’ve now received it and found it contains ferrous sulfate 25mg! Now I don’t know if this is the right product or dose. Can anyone help?

PMR and low White Blood Cell Count
A recent blood test (CBC) shows several low markers related to white blood cells - lymph, abs lymph, mono, and eosinophils. Also, two of the red blood cell counts were high, including MCV fL and neutrophils. I realize a slightly high or low number may not be cause for concern, but I don't know what is

Iron supplements dosage
Is 20mg of gentle iron each night enough? It worked well the first night. What a wonderful relief it was. The second night it did work within 70 mins but returned within 3 hours.. I wonder why it didn't last as long? Would a slow release be better, like ferrous sulphate 325mg? Or will it need to be
