Does this sound right? Really confused
In May this year my routine B12 blood test was 240 (range 170 - 800) with the lab commenting that less than 250 can be considered a deficiency in a symptomatic patient, especially the elderly. Because I have been very fatigued for a very long time (the reason for my clinic visit), my GP started me on

Please help: Gastrointestinal symptoms
27 year old female, diagnosed with anti-parietal cells 6 years ago.
I'll try to keep it as brief and succinct as possible ... I have severe gastrointestinal discomfort. Every single day of my life, without fail. Doesn't matter how well I eat. My diet is immaculate yet I get extremely bloated,

Please advise on B12
Having had chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia as well as Hashimotos for several years. My symptoms have increased since being treated for h pylori. I am beginning to wonder if I am deficient in B12. My blood tests are always high in range or massively above. I am thinking of getting private blood test

Intrinsic Factor Antibodies Gone.
My doctor says I have no more intrinsic factor antibodies in my latest blood work. Initial levels were 1.2 (range 0-1.1) What does this mean? I don’t have a print out from my newer lab results or I’d supply updated numbers. Parietal cell antibodies were high (103; scale 0-20 range) on my initial results

Can PA just disappear, even though you still suffer?
So, my nurse practitioner tested my intrinsic factor. I no longer have records of when I was diagnosed with PA about 6 years ago. Apparently, she did not feel comfortable managing my symptoms and referred me to a Hematologist. I go see the Hematologist and he tells me I no longer have PA, but doc, I'm

Can C/L and venlaxafine ( effexor/ SSNRI) possibly be the reason I experience some symptoms ?,?
I really need some advice. I think perhaps some of my symptoms may be caused by one or more of my medications. I received a DAT SCAN (showed loss of dopamine in the right and left side of my brain) in 2015 confirming that I have Parkinson's but because my progression seems to be faster than most ,

Anyone else got any experience with this? Since my periods have settled down off the pill, my PMS has got intense and I almost dread it as much as the period itself!

Endometriosis and various allergies
Just wondering. Having had severe endometriosis since I was 17 and I’m now 48 I've suffered very many kinds of nasty allergies over the years, does anyone else have chronic allergies too? I’m talking allergies to cosmetics, shampoos, perfumes, essential oils, skin rashes, rosacea, contact dermatitis.

Intrinsic factor
Looking at recent blood results my intrinsic factor is 1, which doc says is fine, says it should be below 1.2 U/ml. I self Inject now as spray/tablets don’t help. Do I need to ask for the test to be done again? I don’t like to waste resources.

I think I have PA but my test results say otherwise? (& rapid increase in symptoms?)

Hi everyone, I hope everyone is well and managing their symptoms. Just to provide a history of what’s been going on. For over a year I have been having problems with my stomach. - a feeling of fullness and bloating in my stomach. This is always present and never goes away regardless of whether I eat

Hi 👋 Sorry for long post... I’ve had bilateral swelling and stiffness in feet, ankles, knees, shoulders, wrists and hands for a while now but seems to have worsened over past 12 months or so. GP has recently done bloods - Rheumatoid factor was 10 (range <15) so I’m guessing this rules out RA? My ESR

Help - hoping Doc will do Intrinsic Factor test
Hi all! Long time user of the Thyroid UK HealthUnlocked forum, first time poster over here. I am diagnosed hypothyroid (I think it's hashimotos due to antibody flares) and over the years have had low vit D and low B12. I'm aware that with hypothyroid it's important to have good vitamin levels to help
