antibody test
I have an anti body test this week. Is there anything I should stop before the test. I had my b12 injection on Monday. The antibody test is on Saturday. I’m folate deficient, so need to take 5mg everyday

Blood test for intrinsic factor. How accurate is it?
Have been well for quite a while on my eight weekly B12 injections but had been referred to a gastroenterologist for worsening IBS . He wants to find out why I have B12 deficiency and has requested I have blood test for intrinsic factor. Just wondering how accurate this is as sure I’ve had before and

What does Anaemic mean ?
I am a bit confused about what anaemic means. I have low folate at 3.82 ( the normal range is >3.89) , and red blood cells are 3.7 ( normal range 3.8 -5.8). Haemoglobin is 135 ( normal range 115-160) This is from blood tests done recently at my surgery. Yet at my last clinic visit my haematologist

Iron deficiency anemia and increased A1C levels
Have those of you who receive phlebotomy for PV experienced elevated A1C levels? I get phlebotomies ever couple of weeks, which as expected, has caused me to be iron deficient and a bit anemic (HGB 11.1, Ferritin <3 ng/mL, Iron 29, Transferrin 6%, UIBC 434, and IBC 463). I am also on 2 aspirin/

Vitamin D
Good afternoon, I have been asked by my gp to take an over the counter B vitamin supplement that contains at least 400mcg of folic acid. I managed to buy Thorne Basic B complex with folate but I am finding the tablets difficult to swallow because of their size. Can anyone recommend another brand of vitamin

pulmonary embolism
I had my 4 weekly B12 for my pernicious
anaemia
last night and was told you shouldn’t really have it when you’ve been in blood thinners. Thankfully it was nice nurse and she just did it. Advice please. Is this right and do I need to self inject now to get better.

pernicious anaemia on the telly!
that she hadn’t got cancer but this thing called pernicious
anaemia
and whilst the treatment wasn’t pleasant she wasn’t going to die. This was in the 1930’s. What’s happened since then! Take care everyone.

Any value seeing a gastroenterologist for ET belly bloat?
Greetings All, I've made an appointment to consult with a visiting gastroenterologist for my permanent belly bloat and weight gain (about 4 kg over the past 2 years). I have a hunch this has been caused by the hydroxycarbamide. I'm on a low dose of 500mg/day now and platelets are normal. The belly

Flecainide stopped working
would like some help from those of you who have taken this path- your experiences & how it’s affected your life At present am now taking Digoxin 0.250 Bisoprolol 10mg & Apixiban - the digoxin is obviously not helping like Flecainide I must also add that at the same time I have had iron deficiency

High Platelet Diagnosis Update….
She said that iron deficiency without
anaemia
could still cause an elevated platelet count. As such I was to take iron tablets for 6 months, I am currently at the 3 month mark and my iron has improved and platelets have come down from 565 to 513.
