Shortness of Breath
Hi folks, I have been a member of this community for awhile but have never posted. About 4 years ago, I started being very short of breath. Since I am a former smoker, the first thing that came to my mind was lung cancer. I went to lung specialist who ran numerous tests and concluded that my lungs

Polymyalgia and Rheumatoid arthritis
I was diagnosed with PMR in June 2014. Over a period of about 7 years I managed to come off prednisone but after a time the PMR returned. Since 2022 I have managed to get down to 7mg daily and then have a flare. Back to 10 down to 8 and another flare. I live in France and it seems PMR is not as common

High B12 - more tests needed?
My SO has several anaemia symptoms - pallor, breathlessness, fatigue, dizziness, nausea etc. GP says the bloodwork is OK despite family history of PA. Blood tests (GP & Medichecks) so far show haemoglobin & MCH a bit below range, haematocrit & MCH low but in range. Serum B12 is consistently high (latest

Folic Acid does not cause PA
I saw this article with responses about the consumption of folic acid. What do people think about the responses? Especially the one who says that there shouldn't be a limit to the amount of folic acid taken. https://www.bmj.com/content/329/7479/1376/rapid-responses I have been taking 5mg folic acid

positive then negative intrinsic factor
hi guys, I had a positive intrinsic factor blood test back in April and this was before any b-12 injections. Since then, the doctors have wanted to do two other intrinsic factor blood tests and both came back negative and the doctors are confused why is this? Thanks, Ella (:

Learning and Careers with B12 Anemia
Hi everyone, I wanted to know what everyone studied and does for a living here. I am feeling down because I have not done well with college and keeping a job because of my anemia. I just want to know if anyone else went thru that, still is dealing with that, and/or is able to live a normal life. I

Am I hypothyroid?
I’m looking for some guidance/information as I haven’t been able to get much clarity from my GP and endocrinologist. I started having all the usual hypo symptoms about 2 years ago; feeling cold, fatigued, weight gain, low moods, brittle hair and nails, skin itching, night sweats, tinnitus, aching joints

Any tips for lowering AST (liver enzyme score)

My reaction to Crestor & Nubeqa combo. I need to make some adjustments. This study says simvastatin is best against APC. Your thoughts?
Based on these studies, do you think it's best to use simvastatin as your choice of statins? I'm using Crestor 5 mg plus 5mg Zetia and my ldl has gone down to a level, which puts me at risk of infection. Plus, my brain isnt functioning nearly as well as it used to. My current ldl is 27. This probably

RLS and menopause
Hey ladies! I’m suffering with menopause. What can I take to get some relief that won’t exasperate my RLS. Currently, I take the lowest dose of pramipexole and it’s under control , along with a probiotic, and krill oil. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

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

Is it possible to have antibodies to parietal cells but not to intrinsic factor? I have no intrinsic factor.

Stop Prednisone completely?
I was diagnosed with PMR about one year ago and placed on 13mg of P. It hit me most in the shoulders and hips: e.g., I could not pull up my trousers because the action of doing so naturally moves your elbows towards the rear of the center line of one's body and that caused great pain. Could also

Au/ml help
The range for intrinsic factor test result is any result below 1.21u/ml (negative )and above 1.53u/ml (positive). I was informed my result was 1.63. Yes, no measurements of u/ml. When I asked for B12 injections (local GP Wales) as I believed I'd proved I was deficient by these tests coming back high
