PV - Folic Acid and Vit D
Hi Please excuse if this has been asked before, I’m sure it has but can’t find the post 😬 I have PV and had blood done at Dr recently and was told I needed to take folic acid and Vit D. I take HU which has recently been reduced by 1 tablet a week and last bloods were HCT 38, Hb 13.4, WBC 7.6

Imerslund-Gräsbeck one to know about
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imerslund%E2%80%93Gr%C3%A4sbeck_syndrome I had an argument last week with a Dr 'Fresh out the box' quoting the text book at me. He said the intrinsic factor antibody test was 95% accurate. So I retorted maybe I was one of the 5%! "That would be very unlikely." About 5

Blood result and raised MCV
Hi everyone. I had a recent blood test as I've been supplementing with gentle iron, general A-Z vits and B12 since the spring. I particularly wanted to check up on my iron/ferritin status. I've never had a positive diagnosis of PA, or even of B12 deficiency as my levels have always been 'in range'.

one last question ( hopefully)
I have finally managed to get an appointment with my GP where I hope to convince him to give me B12 injections more often that once every 8 weeks and I never had a loading doses so am hoping for that too. I hope I can get him to do some tests, like size shape and number of red blood cells, intrinsic

Functional B12 deficiency
Hi, I have been around a long time and read every day. I have a hard time understanding what a functional deficiency mean. In my case just a few injections brought my MMA and homocysteine down very quickly. Is that a functional deficiency? Seems like I would understand this by now. I have never

High iron / low ferritin, advice on B12 and folate levels - results in pics
Hi, I’ve had some great comments and links from members to my last post on my iron panel results. It was suggested that I share my B12 and Folate levels. I’ve puts pics of these in comments first ones from May and second from this month. I want to raise ferritin levels but given iron levels I shouldn

Methylcobalamin vs Hydroxocobalamin ?
Does anyone else find they do better on methylcobalamin than hydroxocobalamin? I've done some major googling but not been able to find out much and would like to ask if anyone has had the same experience as me? I started SI for years with Methylcobalamin and was doing great. When stocks became impossible

Intrinsic factor antibody
I'm posting on here as I been advised to. I've just been back to my GP because I had a blood test done the other week for intrinsic factor antibody. I had a result of 3.66 which I thought was positive but my GP just said it's negative ? I had the test done because my vitamins b12 is 211.

b12 purchase
Hi I was treated by GP for low B12 for a year but once my levels were midway on “normal range” the injections were discontinued and I struggle to find ways to boost my intake orally. I have just purchased Hydroxocobalamin online but am unsure if the dosage is similar to that I was previously prescribed

HCT above average
Hey, could any one advise if HCT can be dropped / managed with venesection ? I've noticed on a random blood test from GP few months ago my hematocrit was 0.55 I assume this is considered high. In addition I do regular full blood tests in a local hospital and I never noticed Hematocrit on results. Not

Could my iron supplement be causing weight gain?
I have been gaining weight despite being very careful in what I eat since starting my gentle iron supplement. A google search has come up with very mixed results re this. Not sure what to believe. Any advice?

All symptoms back
Hi, Symptoms are now back with avengence. My breathing and headaches are terrible. I have moved my Endo forward to next week and having new bloods this morning. Any suggestions of issues for my consultant? I am going to ask to raise to at least 100 of meds - obviously depending on my bloods. Heart issues

Second opinion for my daughter (ruling out thyroid, opinion on vitamins)
17 year old daughter has complained of headaches and fatigue for years. Chalked it up to teenager, pandemic, and irregular sleeping patterns. As all those things resolved, and the headaches and fatigue didn't, I ordered bloodwork to rule out Hashis and Hypo; and hopefully pinpoint a treatment to get
