Pain in fingers and toes (and still low energy) - blood test results
Hi everyone, I posted recently because my fingers and toes have been really painful for the last few months. I went to the doctors and she said that osteoarthritis which I have in my hand has spread to all my fingers and toes. Thank you everyone who has given me great advice! In my appointment I asked

Fish oil and cholesterol
I have been on what's labelled a "high quality fish oil for optimal heart health" (cod oil) for the past six months and taking the maximum recommended dose of two capsules daily. However, it seems to have done nothing for my triglyceride and cholesterol levels; my triglycerides came back out of range

Injection frequency for Vitamin B12
I have been diagnosed with severe deficiency of B12 a month ago. My B12 level was 95 pmol/l (which is 42.27 ng/ml) and Active B12 level was 18 pmol/l (8.01 ng/ml) . I presented my GP and Neurologist with slow movements of right arm, right hand fingers and leg. I have sort of little burning sensation

Just got diagnosis, what else should I be taking
Hi All I have coleliac's disease and had always believed that my low b12 was due to this. I was a little casual about getting my 3 monthly b12 shot as I've been super-busy setting up a new business for the last couple of years. My last blood test showed b12 of 112 and I'm now having 6 shots every other

B12 Deficient Newby
Hi All. Having recently been diagnosed with B12 deficiency I have been reading the posts here with interest. I am learning quickly but still have a few questions that my doc can't/won't answer. I have yet to be diagnosed with PA or the reason for my deficiency. It isn't to do with diet as I eat all

Intrinsic factor blood test results...
Hi All, After testing below range for vitamin B12 I have just received the results of the intrinsic factor blood test and it states intrinsic factor ABS negative. Does this mean I can supplement with b12 now? And folate? At what dose? I know I’m low in b12 but the only symptom I have is hairloss! I

Parietal cell antibody test
I know I'm repeating myself but want to be clear. Is it correct that if you test negative for this it's reliable? I've not had the intrinsic factor test. I'm asking as I'm getting the vibe as one year in now the surgery want to decrease my B12 injections. B12 was put on my latest blood form after

Very low B12 Levels...
Hi All, I’ve been found to have very low levels of vitamin B12 & folate. I’m having a blood test to check the intrinsic factor tomorrow. If that comes back negative can I supplement myself to get my levels up or do I have to have injections?? My only symptom is hairloss! I’m on loading doses of vitamin

Diet during treatment
I'm in the middle of my b12 injection treatment, having completed 7 daily injections and two injections once a week. I'm positive for intrinsic factor blocking antibody, and we're confirming whether I have PA with an endoscopy in the next weeks. My question: What should my diet be at this point? Balanced

summary of a visit to my neurologist
Since I havent seen my neurologist in about TWO YEARS, I had a bunch of questions for him. here they are and here are his answers: Any value in genetic testing? No. Should we test my gut bacteria? No. Would Stem cell replacement be beneficial? Still experimental. No. Have you ever heard of the Marty

Dryness
For my scalp I only shampoo twice weekly and use a
castor
oil
shampoo. No blow drying. (I’m 55 so I’m drying anyway.) I was doing well with cetaphil but that’s not helping anymore. Any good ideas. I, probably like most of you, cant have lots of fragrances. Thanks in advance for your tips.

Discontinuing B12 injections.
My mother had PA. According to parietal cell and intrinsic factor tests, I don't. My B12 was low but at the time I was taking omeprazole. If I had a blood test now, how long would I need to wait before having another one to determine whether I need injections for life or not? Can high B12 cause paraesthesia

Hairloss - very worried 😧
Hello All, I am regular poster on the thyroid forum but this is my first post here! My question is has anyone experienced hairloss due to very low B12 and folate levels? I’ve had hairloss for five months now and have lost a lot of hair. I’m waiting for the intrinsic factor (?) blood test before I start
