Managing endo pain
Hi ☺️ Just wondering if anyone has found a miracle cure for managing endometriosis pain whilst on period 🙏 I get weekly acupuncture, use castor oil packs, take my pain killers days before period is due but nothing seems to be helping manage the pain 😥. Contraception isn't an option at the moment,

Treatment for dry, peeling lips
What do you use for Sjogrens dry, peeling lips? I have had lupus for 30 years, and a variety of dry eye and salivary gland issues, that have at times been severe. Been treated for both. Also have dry sinus, and sleep apnea. Even if I use items to prevent mouth breathing during sleeps, lips still

B12 deficiency light
Hi all. I have had pernicious anaemia for many years and like many people here, I have struggled with the frequency of injections. To begin with 12 weeks seemed OK, but over the years this was failing to last. My GP put it down to 10 weeks which helped but I was still struggling towards the end so I

Intrinsic factor test
Hey guys, I am getting the intrinsic factor test tomorrow which my doctor highlighted as an unreliable test but managed to convince him to let me have it regardless ! Anyway, I have taken a single b12 supplement yesterday evening. This is probably a dumb question, but will this impact the test? Thank

Just wondering if this process sounds familiar?
Hi, Just wondering if this process sounds familiar and how did you cope with it? GP made erroneous diagnoses several times, I kept being sent away: it took 6 months before RA was suspected, despite worsening symmetrical pain in both feet across the toe joints, dry eyes, fatigue, massive swelling in

How long before symptoms return
My dr has stopped my B12 shots because the intrinsic factor test came back negative, even tho it was positive in 2012 which led to me being diagnosed with PA. After 8 yrs he has stopped my shots and told me he will retest me in 6 months, which will actually be 9 mths from my last shot. Its now 5 mths

B12 supplements with intrinsic factor
Has anyone tried b12 supplements with intrinsic factor ? I’m wondering if supplementing with intrinsic factor would help reduce excess methylmalonic acid or if someone with intrinsic factor antibodies would have no benefit . I have just started injecting b12 after 2 years of trying to get gp’s to find

IF test
Hello How do I go about getting an intrinsic factor test please? Is this something a GP can do on request at an appointment or do they need as advance notice? Can you get privately? Also- baby b12 test. Is it possible to do a finger prick or does a vile need to be taken? Many thanks

Hello long time no post!
Hello I first posted a few years back and with your help came to the conclusion that I was low in b12. Things Have moved on! But for context I continued to query my b12 with doctors, to no avail. I feel pregnant Oct 2018, again asked for my b12 to checked early in my pregnancy. It was ‘normal’

Oral b12 or injections
Diagnosed with low b12(130) had loading injections, not heard from gp since. I started self injecting hydroxycobalamin but continued feeling rubbish and have been waiting for neuro results due to weakness strange sensations etc . I don’t think anything has come up in those investigations so am left with

BAT, dutasteride, and my search for truth, Part 2 of 2

I’m not getting better :( advice??
Hi, New here.. Hoping to get some info on how long after loading doses before I should start to feel better I’m 23 years old and have always been very active (running, at the gym all the time). For the last few years I would say I’ve had a generalised level of fatigue (often having naps), but nothing
