Intrinsic Factor Antibodies Gone.
My doctor says I have no more intrinsic factor antibodies in my latest blood work. Initial levels were 1.2 (range 0-1.1) What does this mean? I don’t have a print out from my newer lab results or I’d supply updated numbers. Parietal cell antibodies were high (103; scale 0-20 range) on my initial results

Please help: Gastrointestinal symptoms
27 year old female, diagnosed with anti-parietal cells 6 years ago.
I'll try to keep it as brief and succinct as possible ... I have severe gastrointestinal discomfort. Every single day of my life, without fail. Doesn't matter how well I eat. My diet is immaculate yet I get extremely bloated,

Hoping for improvement - lining scan
Just awaiting my lining check this morning after a cancelled cycle and hysterscopy that showed thin pale unresponsive lining. I’ve literally done everything I possibly can to improve; acupuncture, fertility massage and yoga, castor oil packs, good diet, no drink, vitamin c, d, e and l’argine, co enzyme

Can PA just disappear, even though you still suffer?
So, my nurse practitioner tested my intrinsic factor. I no longer have records of when I was diagnosed with PA about 6 years ago. Apparently, she did not feel comfortable managing my symptoms and referred me to a Hematologist. I go see the Hematologist and he tells me I no longer have PA, but doc, I'm

GP still not getting it!
Had 6 loading doses in June, Doctor gave them reluctantly as levels had risen to 400 from 140 on oral supplements. I gave her lots of info re nhs guidelines and info from PA society which she promised to read. Was told to go back in August. Felt better at end of loading shots, but symptoms (exhaustion

Intrinsic factor
Looking at recent blood results my intrinsic factor is 1, which doc says is fine, says it should be below 1.2 U/ml. I self Inject now as spray/tablets don’t help. Do I need to ask for the test to be done again? I don’t like to waste resources.

I think I have PA but my test results say otherwise? (& rapid increase in symptoms?)
Hello! I have had anaemia for about a year and my GP has been trying to work out what is causing it. I initially had low-ish b12 so had the b12 injections and my anaemia improved somewhat; since then I have been on the b12 pills instead (as we wondered if i had a dietary deficiency). The anaemia has

Advice requested
Hi 👋 Sorry for long post... I’ve had bilateral swelling and stiffness in feet, ankles, knees, shoulders, wrists and hands for a while now but seems to have worsened over past 12 months or so. GP has recently done bloods - Rheumatoid factor was 10 (range <15) so I’m guessing this rules out RA? My ESR

Help - hoping Doc will do Intrinsic Factor test
Hi all! Long time user of the Thyroid UK HealthUnlocked forum, first time poster over here. I am diagnosed hypothyroid (I think it's hashimotos due to antibody flares) and over the years have had low vit D and low B12. I'm aware that with hypothyroid it's important to have good vitamin levels to help

B12 deficency or not?
Was hoping someone here could offer some advice. My GP recently ran blood tests to exclude Pernicous Anemia and B12 deficiency (both of which have now been ruled out - see results below) Intrinsic factor Abs = 1.77 Unit METHYLMALONIC ACID 0.27 umol/L [0.1 - 0.42] Is it normal to exclude B12 deficency

Folic acid and Sudden onset of symptoms
Hi Everyone - I’m new to the group and have just been diagnosed with PA. My b12 blood test was 311 but I had strong neurological symptoms that went away with b12 shots. Starting from March 2019 until I started B12 shots 3 weeks ago, I was having neurological symptoms where my feet and hands were burning

Pernicious Anaemia and Epilepsy
A couple of years ago I had a problem I thought was my balance, but having a routine blood test for my med levels, I was asked to have another blood test, a few weeks later I had a letter and a very good print-out about PA, it said that taking anti-convulsants can have an effect on your Intrinsic Factor

B9 Folic acid
Hi All From reading blogs on the site, I understand that b12, b9 and iron have to be in balance with intrinsic factor to enable b12 to be absorbed in the ileum. If this is the case, why, on the NHS site does it have a list of symptoms for b9 deficiency that differ from those for b12? Wouldn’t b12 deficiency

GP questioning why serum b12 above range if body gets rid of excess b12.
Went to gp yesterday with my daughter to have her 12 weekly jab. Her last blood test ( meant to be checking ferritin but did b12 even though she’d emailed saying not to check it). Showed b12> 1500 - this test was 2 wks after an injection at the gps (but she SI anyway which they don’t know as would

Feel like the life is slowly being sucked out of me, and I’m treading in quick sand! Please help!?
Hi, I know I only posted my results recently, but when I saw the GP, it was a different one than last time, as the original didn’t have any appointments and I needed to see someone sooner for another reason. The upshot of my consult was that I ended up in tears begging to be treated as an individual

Has anyone had their diagnosis taken away?
I have just made another post about my reduced mobility so apologies for that. I was diagnosed with SLE in January 2018. In the time from diagnosis until now I have had the following antibodies: ANA, dsDNA, Mi2b, Ro52, Rheumatoid Factor and anti-cardiolipin. For some reason UCTD was the diagnosis put
