Looking through my old GP test results I came across a few anti body tests which I had done about the same time they were investigating hemochromatosis. The test was negative. Does this mean it will always be negative. As in is the anti body something you’re born with or can it develop? Could I be positive

Hi all, Got my bloods done again. For this round I was taking 100mcg of levo monday - friday and then 75mcg on the weekend. Other things I'm taking are: - Omega 3 supplement - 50 mcg B12 - 3000iu vitamin D The dr has now put me on 100mcg for all days of the week: [u]Thyroid[/u] Free Thyroxine

Just wondering whether any members have had this test? I'm not really thinking about those who have had a B12 deficiency (or suspected Pernicious Anaemia) followed up by this test.

Hi all, I’ve been having pretty constant parasthesias on both sides of my body usually worse from shoulders down to fingers, initial B12 level was 190 (was 845 four years ago). New doctor had me test for IF antibodies immediately after giving me a B12 injection which was negative and she stated

Years ago I had a full thyroid panel which included tsh , free t4 , free t3 and Thyroid Peroxidase Ab IU/mL . My result was : 0.84 IU/mL The Range: 0 - 5 IU/mL But my GP didn’t check thyroglobulin antibody levels surely if I had any autoimmune thyroid problems wouldn’t the Thyroid peroxidase pick

I’m still awaiting biopsy results from an endoscopy in December. The report found atrophic gastritis. Subsequent B12 tests came back at 225ng/L and folate at 1.5. The limits in my area for B12 are 200 to 900. My GP prescribed me 5mg folate. This was 2 week ago. I’ve also started eating better consuming

I have been told by a private Dr that I have Pernicious Anaemia causing an autoimmune reaction in my stomach so have been giving regular b12 injections and feeling much improved. Blood tests were negative for parietal cell antibodies but positive for thyroid peroxidase antibodies (advised of being

We see all too many individuals who have difficulty tolerating one or more formulations of levothyroxine but, eventually, find at least one which they can tolerate. Rarely written up in medical literature - this is a very welcome exception. Recommend you view the actual document. [i]Liver injury

Hello I started experiencing fatigue about 5 months ago, followed by an increase in appetite. Then, about 3 weeks ago, I began experiencing palpitations, weight loss, shortness of breath, and itchy eyes. The doctor prescribed 40mg of Carbimazole, but I feel this may be too much. Can 15mg, along

I’ve been struggling with PA for 2 and 1/2 years. No one would listen. Finally from Israel I was advised to get the Intrinsic Factor Antibody Blood Test and the Parietal Cell Antibody Blood Test.

My son has history with h pylori, which he was treated for, but the symptoms haven't gone away completely. Last week I was talking about my own b12 deficiency and he informed me he has the same symptoms. I know he has been more tried than normal, but I put it due to the h pylori, after effects. As that

Hello. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in November 2023 after a year of miserable health. My doctor prescribed 50 mcg levothyroxine (Accord brand) and I started to feel better.

Have had an endoscopy( am awaiting report but consultant didn't seem overly concerned) had a cystoscopy which

And low reticulocyte count which would be caused by low folate I suppose. My other results are all in range, though active B12 could maybe be higher I am thinking
