Anybody else have this? Did taking the ferrous sulfate help?

Declining b12
Hi all, since my last post my Medichecks active b12 came in at 39, which is borderline. Doctors retested my serum b12 and it has come down from 209 to 190, when I actually started taking supplements! I fought my GP and had an intrinsic factor antibody test today (haven’t taken b12 since April 27th so

Possible coeliac?
I’ve just had some blood results back due to iron deficiency. I also had my first booster jab after loading dose for low B12. Iron is just back in range but results say that serum tissue triglutaminase is high and consistent with coeliac disease. Got an appointment with doctor next week but wondering

Investigating the Influence of Excipients on the Stability of Levothyroxine Sodium Pentahydrate
There has been a tiny rivulet of papers questioning the formulation of levothyroxine products. Time and again, the papers identify problems with excipients of which a large proportion of real products contain at least one. I'm sure it is not the entire picture. But this rivulet has been flowing for

Iron panel, CRP, ESR?
Hi all, so after having a Medichecks full thyroid test in April my result were: TSH 1.39 mIU/L (0.27-4.2)F Freethyroxine 19.4pmol/l (12-22) Yesterday my GP repeated a TSH only test which came back as follows: 0.62 mIU/L (0.38-5.5). Could I be going slightly hyper now? I wasnt expecting the GP to repeat

Folate Deficiency
Hey all, I have had blood work done a couple of weeks ago and everything was fine except folate levels. I have since been put on 5mgs of folic acid and am two weeks into the treatment, however I find that I feel worse (tiredness mainly) than better. I also supplement B12, Vit D and a multivitamin.

Low haemoglobin
Hi, I had a blood test on Monday (because of my weird nails which look like Terry's nails) and the surgery phoned me today and told me my haemoglobin is low and the GP wants to do a repeat test and check the B12 and folate levels. I was half asleep so didn't actually tell them that I'm on B12 injections

Anaemia
Hi again. It's good to be back. My doctor did blood tests on Monday and they came back that I'm very anaemic. She said my B12 levels were great. Now I'm on 3 x 210mg iron tablets daily. Unfortunately I've been on Lansoprozole for many years which probably caused the Pernicious Anaemia in the first place

New GP wants blood tests...
Hi all. About a year ago now I was found to have a B12 deficiency, and as a meat eater the GP couldn’t see why I should have such low levels if I was absorbing correctly from diet so put me on the injections. Since then I’ve moved homes and found a new GP who has said that as it’s been a year I should

Missed B12 Injection
I recently missed a B12 injection and had it 1 month late. Since having a 4 month intermittent period (rather than 3) my symptoms have returned. Tiredness, weakness, breathlessness and noticeable heartbeats. I have since had a blood test and my B12 and folate levels are normal? is this a consequence

Advice for when GP won't act?
Hi guys, I've now had a second intrinsic factor antibody test (privately). Both my private tests came out positive for IF, but the middle test I took, which was with the NHS, came out negative. The GP though thinks I have chronic fatigue syndrome as my cells are normal size and B12 blood levels are coming

Not sure if related to hypothyroidism
I have been on 100mcg levo for several weeks to keep GP happy. I did tell her I had been breathless with any activity for weeks before I saw her. My husband has been very concerned that there was no improvement and in this symptom and had me contact the surgery on Tuesday morning. I had a call

Drs not taking ferritin seriously
My now retired neurologist was adament on treating my very low ferritin. For reference it was 7. Diet was not working. He gave me an iron infusion (he knew iron pills could have awful side effects). Then he retired & I changed neurologists. I never knew whether my ferritin got back to normal, nor why
