bloods walloped by severe gastrointestinal infection, anyone?
Hi lovelies, I was hospitalised for severe infection last week, which with antibiotics is now better. But my white blood cell count has plummeted to the point hospital has put me under lockdown, and went even lower after 3 filgrastim injections although haematology say sometimes their effect is delayed

Measuring B12 levels after PA diagnosis
Hello, I was wondering if someone could please explain why it’s not helpful to measure B12 levels after having regular B12 injections for pernicious
anaemia
? My doctor keeps measuring mine, even though I have pernicious anemia and am having regular B12 injections at the surgery.

Pernicious Anemia and Endicrine
I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency in the spring of 2021. I was initially placed on a regimen of B12 injections appropriate for patients with blood symptoms. Eventually I read enough to discover the difference in treatment for patients with blood symptoms vs nerve symptoms, and since August of 2021

Low serum folate = folic acid supplement?
Hello, My youngest daughter (she's 21) has recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. She's been started on 50 mg Levothyroxine Her other low result was: Serum folate 2.2 (2.8-20 ug/L) For this she's been prescribed folic acid - 5mg daily I'm a little surprised that it's folic acid especially after

ALC is still going up
Well, today I had another CBC. My ALC continues to go up consistently at each 2 week check and I will be seeing my onco at the beginning of Feb. In addition to the rising alc, test shows a few other little changes that i don't fully understand -- my MCV is now reading high (99.50) and my MCHC is low

Medichecks ferritin range 30-650 ug/L
I have been having trouble for years with low ferritin, despite eating black pudding 3 times a week and taking ferrous fumarate. This last week got full thyroid blood tests back and thought ‘oh good , ferritin had gone up a bit to a decent 77’, but no, the range had been changed to a huge 30-650 ug/L

Brain iron vs Blood iron
Has anyone read that in RLS patients brain iron can be lower than indicated by blood measurements? I read a study out of Quebec about the gene we carry causing a malformation in the brain that makes it harder to uptake the iron.... So blood levels are not accurate in showing brain anemia. My RLS totally

Getting older with ss
I'm in my 40's now and I have fewer pain crisis then I had when I was younger. You'd think things would get easier because of this but it isn't. Now I'm dealing with a lot of health problems that sickle cell caused or exacerbated. Like heart problems (which I take meds for), a bad hip (which I had replaced

Low B12 raised CRP - new to this
hi all. I was recently diagnosed with B12 deficiency (level of 67), and am about to have my last of 5 loading doses today. I can’t say I’ve felt too much of an improvement and still have brain fog, dizziness and tingling in my hands and feet amongst other things. Will this improve as the b12 gets to

Can anyone recommend a good private pernicious anemia doctor anywhere in Scotland? Two NHS GPs ignored my symptoms they don't listen
Hello, I am desperately looking for a doctor who is competent about vitamin B12 deficiency and/or pernicious anemia. I am positive to gastric parietal cell antibodies, my B12 levels are 444 (should be between 200-883) so nobody takes me seriously because it's not low. GPs won't even consider injections

Slightly raised ferritin, any advice please
Iron 31.0 (5.8-34.5)TIBC 51.3 (45-81) UIBC 20.6 (24.2-70.1) Transferring saturation 60.6 (20-50) Ferritin 203 (13-150) Crp 4.15 (0-5) Can I ask your advice please? As advised on here a few months ago I rechecked my iron levels in December, hoping to have some reason for continuing ectopic heartbeats.

Side effects of B12 injections
Hi. I had loading doses of B12 about 10 years ago after several years of fatigue and neuro symptoms. I felt amazing afterwards and when I went onto 3 monthly injections I found that my symptoms would come back long before my next injection was due so I started self injecting. I found I needed it once
