Radiation Proctitis looking for advise please.
I am a 62 year old woman and had pelvic external beam radiotherapy for five weeks ending in March 2023. Since then I have had bowel problems, a bit of urinary incontinence, lymphedema and tingling like sensations in my legs. Bleeding from my anus became worse in December. I have since had a colonoscopy

Intrinsic Factor (IF) Antibodies testing while on B12
Hello folks - If someone has IF Antibodies and is taking b12 ...would that affect an IF and IF Antibodies blood test..? I dont think it should - as if you have errosive gastritis / malabsorbtion issues etc, you got them...and the B12 wont improve that in any way...? Thanks lovely PA folks

PMR/GCA and Sjogrens disease
Does anyone have Sjogren’s disease along with PMR/CGA? For months I’ve been struggling with worsening vision in my left eye, and trying to figure out if I was having a flare. The left eye vision is like it was before cataract surgery, worse some times than others, especially after reading. Opthomologist

Would I absorb B12 in tablet form if I had PA?
Hi all, On a hunt to figure out the cause of my continued iron loss... Had an iron infusion in July 2021 and I'm now back to deficiency. GP has done all they can, confirmed by private GP. The guidelines now assume iron loss is related to periods... except mine are very light and only last a day so

Silent Reflux and B12 Deficiency- Any Link?
Hello! I was diagnosed with low B12 following a blood test in December last year, on injections but only had 3 of the 6 loading doses then was moved on to one every three months due to severe side effects that worried my GP. Had my first of the 3 monthly ones a few weeks ago and all went well. I saw

Diarrhoea can be a symptom of vitamin B12 deficiency!
So if you get these other symptoms or a number of them as well, it's worth getting your B12 checked out with a doctor. The symptoms are: *Rapid breathing or shortness of breath *Headaches *Indigestion *Loss of appetite *Palpitations *Vision problems *Weakness and/or tiredness

Intrinsic factor
I seem to be at a sticking point with the findings of the intrinsic factor test. This is due to the way they now interpret the test results. My test result was Au/ml 1.63 ... Which I jumped with joy over as I thought "at last, this proves I have been telling the truth". How wrong I was. It is no longer

Eye problems following catheter ablation
I am now 10 weeks post catheter ablation.Following the procedure I developed aura migraines daily for around 10 days. The fact sheets explained that this was a possible complication and should rectify itself, which it did and 🤞 I have not had any migraines since. I have now developed a bloodshot patch

Self-care while waiting for diagnosis
Hello everyone, I recently went to my family doctor about an achey burning in my hips, shoulders and neck that is much worse in the morning, ongoing for about a month now. Getting out of bed and up from chairs is suddenly very difficult (but gets easier by about supper time). My appetite is also down

How overcome a high B12 test from when I must supplement to function?
Both intrinsic factor and parietal antibody tests were positive ("abnormal") with B12 >2000. Methylmalonic Acid is normal at .28.

Intrinsic Factor result
bit disappointing it didn’t come back positive., but I know they don’t always accurately reflect the underlying condition.It also means my pernicious anaemia could be due to long term use of PPIs rather than autoimmune gastritis. (By the way stopped PPIs in December last year) .

GP says results are fine
Fatigue, brainfog, muscle aches, joint pain, and other various symptoms. Below are my blood test results. The GP stated there is nothing of concern. He seemed more focused on mental health issues. Is there anything obvious below? Someone said to post here. Rheumatoid factor 8 Range: Below 12.5
