Raised MMA result
Hi everyone Have written before about my low active B12 results(medichecks). Latest one had been 36.7 (37.5~188). My previous 3 were slowly dropping from 60s to 50s to 40s. Advised to do MMA by medichecks. Eventually afforded one last week which came back high 38.5 (<32). They are now suggesting

Recent Blood results - your advice
I have been on Levothyroxine now for about 6 weeks. My results are as follows: I got tested at 8.50 am and hadn't taken any medication from the morning before at 6am. I ate nothing before test. I felt good for a few days but feel as bad as ever again - just low mood and tired and no energy. I was

Purpura on w&w?
Since diagnosis 3 years ago, while on W&W, I have had presume purpura spots come and go on my left arm, but today, after reaching in to tomato cages to capture the best and presumably scraping my arm, I have developed a whole big area of what I assume to be purpura, spread over about 3 inches and not

on going heartburn with esophagitis
I have had an endoscopy that found chronic eosphogstis. I have tried three PPIs ie omeprozole, lanzopropal and the one something like esomprozole. Other than watching what you eat and drink , have you found any natural solutions like peppermint oil or the like. Tried ginger, slippery elm but no relief

If taking B12 supps skew's PA Intrinsic Factor test, does it do the same for Gastric Parietal Cell AB too?
Hi Everyone, Im a bit out of my depth here and wondered if you could help please. Ive taken B Complex for nearly 25 years, I do wonder whether serum levels have always been scuppered, as I read again that to do a credible PA , MMA test I needed to be off B12 for minimum 4- 6 moths , possibly longer

Can anyone shed some light on Anti CCP antibodies result?
Hi everyone, my name is Claire. I’ve just received back some blood test results (Rheumatoid Factor and Anti CCP antibodies). The Rheumatoid Factor came back negative but the Anti CCP came back as 10.4 K/UL. The test states that normal range is under 2.9 K/Ul yet mine is over 3 times higher. The last

10yo daughters results…HELP!
Hello, I have posted before regarding my daughter who is 10yo but we have just had some very unusual and worrying results which may explain her health issues. She has a long term history of low platelets and I’ve been trying to solve this for her as it has been unexplained. We have strong family history

Olive oil guys… in a dark can… best you can afford. My ontological perspective..:I’ve always seen that OL and fish/ oil as medicine. My own researcher bias; my own HDL is now over 2 and I eat a supper every night full of crap.

Help Needed! Have I got Pernicious Anaemia?
I hope this isn't too long and/or too boring. I suspect I have PA but as with a lot of people here, no-one seems to take B12 deficiency seriously. I also have hypothyroidism so as my symptoms got increasingly worse over the past few years, I blamed my thyroid - the two conditions have many symptoms

Advice moving forward?
So I recently had blood tests that showed low b12, iron and vit D. Was prescribed tablets for the iron and vit D. And put on a course of B12 loading doses. 6 injections over 2 weeks. it's now been 2 weeks after the last b12 injection and none of my symptoms have improved. When I talked to the gp,

Zypan?
Hi everyone. Just wondering if anybody here is taking Zypan or have taken it before? Just watched a really helpful video from Dr Berg on YouTube on PA where he mentions this helps to absorb B12 if there is a lack of intrinsic factor

Hello, Having B12 defiency my GP has been prescribing me oral B12 which got my levels to normal but hasn’t changed my symptoms. She then prescribed blood tests for parietal cell antibodies and intrinsic factor antibodies. Both were negative. She says therefore I only need B12 orally and not injections

High dose fish oil supplements may increase risk of AF
I saw this in the Consumer Labs newsletter today. Just wanted to posts for those taking high dose fish supplements. Please let me know if link does not open as it’s subscription based. The percentages don’t seem that significant, though I’m not the best person to interpret these studies https://www.consumerlab.com

I felt rotten for a couple of days. Then woke up the third day with a really big blistery looking bite on my right thumb. It looked really inflamed and had a sort of paler ring around it and around that there was a rectangle of inflammation spread round thumb and to the base. As the day wore on,more
