Blood test for intrinsic factor. How accurate is it?
Have been well for quite a while on my eight weekly B12 injections but had been referred to a gastroenterologist for worsening IBS . He wants to find out why I have B12 deficiency and has requested I have blood test for intrinsic factor. Just wondering how accurate this is as sure I’ve had before and

Awful taste in mouth - is this a Sjogren's thing?
Hello - I'm new here! I'm not diagnosed with Sjogren's though I'm fairly sure I have it. I've had symptoms for around 15 years, and I have a family history of RA (with hindsight, I think my mum had Sjogren's too, not just RA, as she had a lot of the dryness symptoms). I've got all the usual symptoms

newbie and waiting….
Hi! I’m a newbie. Backstory: mom and both sisters have Hashimoto’s. My mom passed in 2010 & was told she had “inflammatory arthritis” a couple years before she passed (although by then that was the least of her medical worries). Flash way forward: I started having ocular migraines, very brief (10 seconds

Flare up after a pretty settled period
Two years ago I had a massive flare and was in a lot of pain / extreme fatigue. I was on prednisolone which was like a magic cure initially and then caused a host of gastric problems. I also trialled methotrexate tablets and methotrexate injections and really struggled with the side effects. After about

So many questions!
Hello again! Thank you so much to everyone who responded to me last week when I asked for feedback on my vitamins. You all helped so much, I took everything on board and also had enough conviction in myself to follow up with my doctors because I'm not a hypochondriac (probably). Seaside Susie told

Doctor put my b12 schedule on my records.
this week after a visit to the ED and changed symptoms related to my spine degenerative disease, I saw a different doctor at the practice, as she was going through my history, she asked about my B12 and It’s diagnosis, including the hospital discharge saying I did it EOD. I explained I had been diagnosed

Suspected B12 deficiency and about to start SI
Hi everyone, I’ve had ID anaemia (microcytic hypochromic) for over 20 years and was told by a GP many years ago that this was due to malabsorption. I’ve had hypothyroidism since 2014, long covid for the past 2 years, and a vax injury from March 2021 that is only just being investigated by rheumatology

How food additives can perhaps affect us: a chocolate story.
I can eat Galaxy chocolate. No problem, and it doesn't trigger my IBS. The other day I ate a Galaxy Ripple bar instead of the ordinary block chocolate. I thought nothing of it, just thought it would be the same as the block chocolate. But it affected my bowel movements the next day, and there

Protein deficiency and B12?
I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency with neural symptoms in the spring of 2021. After bouncing around in treatment that I later learned was appropriate for hematologic symptoms, in August of 2021 I began injecting cyanocobalamin daily, and have continued since. Some symptoms improved, others did not,

Below range Active B12, Increasing serum B12, Low folate
Hi My health board (in Scotland) doesn’t use the Active B12 test so they are unwilling to accept the Medichecks test I had done which showed a slightly below range result - 36pmol (37.5 - 188) They have retested my serum B12 and folate: Serum B12 315ng/L (187-883) Folate 2.7 (3-20) My serum

Can anyone recommend a good private pernicious anemia doctor anywhere in Scotland? Two NHS GPs ignored my symptoms they don't listen
Hello, I am desperately looking for a doctor who is competent about vitamin B12 deficiency and/or pernicious anemia. I am positive to gastric parietal cell antibodies, my B12 levels are 444 (should be between 200-883) so nobody takes me seriously because it's not low. GPs won't even consider injections

B-12 is Low (398), Folate is High, HCY is 55.6, uMMA is 1.7 , vitamin D and C and Magnesium are Low, all B vitamins are low.
Why is the GP not taking my labs seriously, I've been taking methylcobalamin tablets for a year and just began 5-MTHF because of Folate Deficiency found in my DNA, GP declined to do a MMA Blood serum test, I have been allergic to milk and beef since birth, peanuts followed with life threatening allergies

Newbie here, tests/symptoms suggest PA or AAG
Hi everyone. My medical adventures have been ongoing for years but, like many others, I have struggled to find a definitive diagnosis for my symptoms.

Ferritin that will not raise - what to investigate?
Hi everyone, I've had huge issues with ferritin since diagnosis in 2019 and I cannot get it to raise higher than the early 20s and the doctors are absolutely no help with trying to find the cause. My ferritin is currently 23 range 30-250 and I have been taking iron medicine and eating liver consistently
