HB levels in blood
Dear community I understand pernicious
anaemia
causes low haemoglobin level in blood. Not sure low. Can haemoglobin carry on reducing 2 months following b12 injection loading ? Should hb levels increase after loading or does it take a long time?

GP refusing to offer IFAB Test
I recently requested and Intrinsic Factor Antibody test with my GP and was told there's no need to do this test if my Parietal Cell antibody test was negative/normal. The Parietal Cell test was done in Jan 2021 and I assumed the IFAB was done at the same time and also came back normal. (I was unaware

Iron Infusion coming up
I have an iron infusion coming up next week, but I'm getting a bit nervous about it. This is because my RLS symptoms seem to be getting better in the last few weeks. maybe due to the iron supplements. As of the last blood test, maybe a month ago, my Ferritin level was at 26, which is within the

Using Oxford Biosciences Methylcobalamin as safely as possible
Obviously injecting from a multi use vial with a screw top lid is a less than ideal situation, but it seems that this is currently the only way to obtain injectable methylcobalamin. Do any users take any special precautions to reduce the risk of contamination? I was wondering about purchasing some

Blood cell size and shape data?
I've now been on Rux/Jakafi for about six weeks. My blood count numbers haven't changed in the last two weeks, so may be stabilizing at or near normal levels. I'll be more confident about this after my next blood work in two weeks. That being said, I wonder if anyone can enlighten me as to the meaning

Advice please.
I was diagnosed with PA in 2006 after having a blood transfusion due to low haemoglobin. I was given the loading dose of b12 and then continued to have them every 8-12 weeks. I was also prescribed 5mg folic acid daily. In 2015 I seemed to develop a sensitivity to my b12 injections (hives, hot flushed

Folate research
I came across an article in Medscape that descibes a research project involving folate. The research examined existing data. Here is the link for the article. I hope it is available to everyone. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/981832 Quoted here is the only part of the article that mentions B12

I have B12 at the doctors 3 months but also inject myself every 3 weeks.Could B12 cause high levels of iron to cause this calcium

What is the relationship between COPD and anaemia?
First of all, I have

I haven't been able to get my usual Hydroxocobalamin jabs from Versandapo for days. I have the 1ml/ 1mg size EOD. My thigh muscles have shrunk so l do sub. cut. tummy alternatively with intra. mus.thighs. The alternative order appears to be Cyanocobalamin. Why is this not so popular here? Efficacy

muscle fasciculations from low b12
I had low b12 and received the b12 injections, currently I now have muscle fasciculations. Has anybody else had these as a lasting affect ? have had these constant muscle twitches and spasms for approx 6 weeks. How long before all the neurological issues repair them selves ?

Prolactinoma and all things thyroid
Hi everyone, I am looking to anybody who may be able to offer some guidance and support on the below issues. I was diagnosed by endocrinologist in late 2021 with low vitamin D and prolactinoma due to my menstral cycle stopping. At diagnosis my thyroid results were: FT4 13.7 pmol/L, (9-22) FT3 4.65
