Vitamins
Hi allI posted here last week my vitamin test results from medichecks. My active B12 and folate were low so as per advice on the forum I have held off supplementing until my GP tests for pernicious anaemia. My mother had PA and I certainly do have some symptoms of B12 deficiency. I'm due to get my bloods

Uncertain PMR or EORA?

interesting find
has anyone tried grass fed beef liver supplements. I’m wondering if these freeze dried capsules would be beneficial because of the vitamins and minerals in them as I don't seem to be able to keep my levels of anything up without supplementing. As soon as I stop they seem to drop again quite quickly ,

Hi I went to my GP in April with this problem. My GP practice give you forms for self booking for Rheumatology at choice of 2 hospitals. Both have no appointments available. I rang and was told 18 to 34 week wait but even then you have to go on a waiting list to get the appointment before that. I booked

Pmr for 2nd time!
Hi, just a question for Members who have had PMR twice. Where your symptoms exactly the same the second time. I am feeling very poorly at the moment and am banging my head up against the wall with my Doctor. I feel as if it is PMR again. My ESR is 32. The only difference this time is that my fingers

Cystocele/Rectocele repair all done
I'm almost 6 weeks after my repair surgery. Recovery not to bad. First two weeks I was warned were crucial and told not to do anything except rest, which I did. Luckily we had hot sunny weather so I literally layed outside sunbathing in-between medication, meals and sleeping. No pain as I kept taking

PA in a child?
Does anybody have any experience of PA in children? My almost 6 year old daughter has been suffering with mouth ulcers for the past 6 months and I’m just wondering if she might have PA? I was diagnosed at 23 (now 40). My sister, brother and nephew (14) have recently tested positive for intrinsic factor

MMA results - supplements or further test?
Can I ask for your advice please? I have Hashmito’s. Since learning that this can influence the absorption of nutrients, I have been to the doctor’s to request tests. Last B12 test: 229 ng/l (190-910) I used B12 symptoms checklist which suggests severe deficiency. Neither of this seemed to worry

ANA Titre 1:80 with Raynauds and burning hands
Hi, looking for some help and advice from others... Male - Age 39 - slim - mostly fit and well - non smoker I have this year began to experience episodes of Raynauds that appear to be triggered by the cold (but not that cold) weather and also stress/anxiety - so fairly classic stuff. The GP initially

Questions regarding my B12 case (IF, veganism, oral sublingual, and other blood results)
Hi all, My case seems to be a little murky. In 2018 I found out that I had very low B12. I was a vegetarian at that time and for the last 2 years have been vegan. Back in 2018, I began injections which brought my level very high very quickly. At that time I also took my first intrinsic factor test. It

How to fight for treatment?
I felt awful last oct and blood test showed B12 was at 21.6pmol/l so was given 6 loading doses. I went back at their request and was told my B12 levels were in range (obviously) and that was that, no other appointments needed. My intrinsic factor they tested a few weeks later was 2Au which I believe

Antibodies Negative
Hi, Im pretty new to this all. I was feeling extremely weak lethargic, pins and needles etc and my b12 came back pretty low (167) started injections but now the doctor tells me that the test for my antibodies came back negative which means I do not have PA and that they will not do an Intrinsic factor

Intrinsic factor antibody result
Hi all, I've only just seen the result of an Intrinsic Factor Antibody test that was done in December before I started SI which I don't know how to interpret. I got a result of 2 u/ml (reference range is 0-24 u/ml). Is that a positive or a negative result? Does that confirm PA or not? Can someone explain

Could my B12d be due to medication
After another wasted trip to the doctors last month. She showed some concern over my long list of symptoms but thought it best to wait another 5 weeks before we discussed B12 injections again (She is convinced it is due to diet), and in the meantime sent me for more of the same repeated blood tests but

Intrinsic Factor Antibodies
Hi I was diagnosed with PA in October 22 .I had a private blood test after feeling unwell for a while. I used Superdrug and IFA came back as 36.4 U/ml Range 0-6 Recently I had another test done at Medichecks and IFA came back as 57.82 Au/ml Range Less than 1.2. I can see these are different references
