I found this IFAB test guideline. I found a few things pretty interesting. This particular lab which is the lab that did my IFAB test says that you should be fasting for 8 hours before you take this test and you should not have had any B12 injections within 2 weeks prior to the test. Another interesting

B12 next steps - advice please
Hi - I have also posted this in the Pernicious Anaemia section but I know there is also some good knowledge within this group too. I have autoimmune hypothyroidism.

Gentle liver flush - any benefits?
Hi All I've been reading about the link between hypothyroid and liver. I have decided to do a gentle detox. This involves castor oil on a cloth and a hot water bottle and lying it on the liver region for about 45 minutes. I've do it two days in a row. I just wondered if anyone else has done this and

Re testing all patients on b12 injections
I suppose this is just a heads up for anyone in the Cheshire and Merseyside area. I called my new gp surgery (having recently moved house) to book my b12 injection. I was told that I would need blood tests for b12 and intrinsic factor. I explained that these were done in 2017, my b12 was low and intrinsic

muscle stiffness
Hey guys, I am dealing with some of the side effects of a b12 deficiency. I am still awaiting the results from a blood test, testing for intrinsic factor. Most of my symptoms have improved a lot but I am left with a burning pain all down my leg, off balance and most importantly speech difficulty.

Hi everyone, I've just had retrospective confirmation that I was B12 deficient. After 6 injections have improved my RBC, MCH, WCC and heamoglobin. My heamotoligist wants to test me for MMA and intrinsic factor. How long do I need to leave the tests after an injection? Will the MMA be skewed from
