IFAB testing guidelines per Mayo clinic laboratory website
I found this IFAB test guideline. I found a few things pretty interesting. This particular lab which is the lab that did my IFAB test says that you should be fasting for 8 hours before you take this test and you should not have had any B12 injections within 2 weeks prior to the test. Another interesting

Husband with PD hospitalised with uti infection
I'm worried sick about my husband, he became very unsteady on his feet, couldn't stand up, couldn't walk his speech changed dramatically to a tiny whisper he just can't make himself heard. This all happened in the space of a couple of weeks his neuro suggested a UTI and he was started on antibiotics

B12 next steps - advice please
Hi - I have also posted this in the Pernicious Anaemia section but I know there is also some good knowledge within this group too. I have autoimmune hypothyroidism. Following a disappointing Endo appointment I wrote a detailed email to request an appointment with the Consultant as I felt I hadn’t had

IFA negative, Low Active B12 - advice please.
Hi - a brief update and request for advice on B12. I have autoimmune hypothyroidism. Following a disappointing Endo appointment I wrote a detailed email to request an appointment with the Consultant as I felt I hadn’t had the chance to discuss my concerns properly with her junior. This was granted

Gentle liver flush - any benefits?
Hi All I've been reading about the link between hypothyroid and liver. I have decided to do a gentle detox. This involves castor oil on a cloth and a hot water bottle and lying it on the liver region for about 45 minutes. I've do it two days in a row. I just wondered if anyone else has done this and

B12 deficient - just wanted to share
Hi all, I just wanted to share my story as I've had so many thoughts and concerns rattling around my head these past couple of weeks that I don't know if I'm coming or going. I have had occasional heart palpitations since at least late spring, but didn't really think much of it until a month ago when

Biopsy Results
Even though I've commented on other posts, this is my first. In July I coughed up blood, saw the GP who organised a chest x-ray. The GP called me an hour after the x-ray to tell me I had a 6cm shadow on my right lung and it could be cancer. After meeting a respiratory consultant, I had CT scan, PET scan

any similar experience?
Hello friends, I did a chest X-ray following a bad flu to check for pneumonia which I didn’t have. The x-ray showed a prominent pulmonary artery. My doctor suggested doing an echo which showed a prominent artery as well. I have zero symptoms and I run everyday 7k! I’m scheduled for a CT scan to see what

Cough cough cough - Methotrexate?
I have PMR/GCA/LVV – all currently under control on 5mg Pred and 25mg MTX. However… I’ve had a terrible cough for three weeks now. Thank the Lord for Tena Ladies! I’ve gone through a bottle of Kovonia from the local pharmacist; a course of Doxycycline 100mg antibiotics from GP1 (telephone consult)

Why ………..
My fit and healthy 48 year old husband sadly passed away on the 6th November 2022. It all began on the 3rd October 2022 when he coughed up some blood that morning whilst brushing his teeth. We got him an appointment that day to see our local GP who after a quick check of his chest was not overly concerned

Results of recent X-ray-Early signs of COPD non acute
Hello Would firstly like to say I feel for anyone struggling with this disease. I personally feel quite shocked that I have probably got it! I’ve recently been told that my chest X-ray revealed that I have early signs of COPD but that it is non acute. I think I had two Covid infections this year

Hello, I went to the GP in May with a pain in the left-hand side of my chest and some breathlessness. A chest X-ray showed hyperinflated lungs, and a blood test showed elevated amylase levels. I was referred for spirometry to check for COPD, and the GP wrote to a consultant to see if a CT scan

Re testing all patients on b12 injections
I suppose this is just a heads up for anyone in the Cheshire and Merseyside area. I called my new gp surgery (having recently moved house) to book my b12 injection. I was told that I would need blood tests for b12 and intrinsic factor. I explained that these were done in 2017, my b12 was low and intrinsic

A Fib again
I have had a fib for 4 years and been advised it will not damage your heart. Cardiology advise that the terrible tiredness I get is due to something else. I cannot take beta-blockers because they lower my blood pressure, making me ill. Fleccanaide has no effect. Following a chest x-ray, (all clear)
