Running low on iron
I have been put on Ferrous Sulphate but I can’t use it. My blood test for ferritin is 44 ug/L & it is only that high because I ate red meat I did do in desperation because the test last year was 10ug/L. I am vegetarian & I have great difficulty eating meat it seems to be hard to process for me. Anyhow

Does endoscopy replace colonoscopy?
Hello beautiful PA fam, I wanted to know if any of you guys with PA also have gastritis from it and therefore have to get upper endoscopy and colonoscopy periodically. The reason I'm asking, my doctor did a upper endoscopy on me and told me I didn't need a colonoscopy for the next 10 years and it

Hi all, I'm due for repeat liver enzyme tests next week for slightly elevated GGT and ALT, I've stopped drinking since Feb ( apart from a beer last weekend) and I've started weight training at the gym. I'm starting to lose weight but I've read weight training can cause elevated liver enzymes and to not

Clotting
Since taking over my PA treatment with frequent injections, my symptoms have greatly ameliorated. However, there's one thing I hadn't anticipated. Recently I've had to have a couple of teeth extracted. Each time I've ended up in casualty because the bleeding wouldn't stop, and wondered about B12.

Do PPIs affect absorption of thyroid meds?
Hi, quick question - I've got acute gastritis at the moment. I'm taking 15mg lansoprazole. I also take Armour. I'm worried the lansoprazole is going to affect how my Armour is absorbed. Has anyone had this problem? GP told me to take them at different times of day, but I hardly think that will help

at last
more than 12 months several trips to neurologist, scans and blood tests I’ve now been put back on B12 injections (on the advice of the neurologist to the GP surgery) every 8 weeks, my original GP said my levels were high enough to last for years and he thought it was masking something else so he stopped

Buprenorphine Sublingual Tablets and journey to recovery
With amazing support here and guided to a GP that heard me and helped with Buprenorphine. Then saw a doctor at the Alcohol and Drug Clinic which went very well, delighted to see and hear about how the medication is helping me. Four months ago to now, I am a totally different person. Mentally and physically

Advice on B12 injections
Hello :) I’ve not used this before, so hoping I’m writing in the right place! A couple of years ago my B12 was lowish at 160 - and the Dr advised that I take supplements - which I did . A couple of months ago I started to feel really rotten and very very tired, with bad headaches - I got some bloods

Wondering about the possibility of Pernicious Anaemia?
Hello everyone, My B12 is historically low normal and one of my GP’s thinks it could be due to a fast metabolism. However, my mind wont let it rest and some people have on the thyroid uk forum have suggested i get tested for PA but i am not sure i fit the criteria to ask my GP again. Or may be just

Low Iron, RLS, but also with Parkinson's
