Health Anxiety
Newbie here. I've been feeling sick for a while and ended up in the ER. They ran blood tests, did a chest X-Ray and the doctor told me that everything was normal, that its probably just bronchitis/sinus infection. Today my nose bled twice and now I'm wondering if its leukemia because I've felt pain in

Update on: GP stopping my B12. Replacing with oral B12.
UPDATE: Hi everyone. Thanks to everyone who responded and advised me. I had the telephone consultation with my GP today. I have now had the decision to replace my injections with oral medication reversed. This is the gist of how the consultation went (excuse any lack of knowledge/understanding at times

‘Normal’ B12 level but antibodies can it be P.A.?
I am struggling at the moment with chest tightness, shortness of breath and have been to the GP and A&E and understandably investigations have taken us down respiratory/cardiac route. They seem to be OK I have had two ECG and blood tests results of the second lot are in process. I have Hashimotos hypothyroid

Testing Intrinsic Factor and others
Can you test for intrinsic factor while on supplementation? I also have had redux and burning for several years and wonder if the PA test will also be accurate? I have several autoimmune issues...RA, gluten intolerant, hashimotos thyroid diagnosed on pathological report, but antibody test now was fine

A little advice re: blood test if possible?
Hi all, I've popped over here from the PAS forum as I've recently had my Thyroid Function Test results back. A little background info, it was discovered that I didn't have the intrinsic factor when I was about 10 years old so had PA. Nothing was ever mentioned about it after that. I have always been

8 years of anemia despite PA diagnosis and consistent treatment
This will be quite long as my history with anemia has been ongoing and frustrating for years (as well as confounding to my doctors). I was diagnosed with PA 8 years ago with "marginally low" B12 (US 212 with range 200-900), positive intrinsic factor blocking antibody test, and macrocytic anemia. I was

Newly diagnosed, but long time sufferer
Dear all ... I hope you can all help to shed some light on the following. I recently had a raft of blood tests after many, many years of avoiding them ( chronic needle phobe, I'm afraid ). Blood tests revealed that both my haemoglobin and B12 levels were low. My B12 was at the bottom of the scale at

Is Hashimoto's possible without weight gain?
Having recently been diagnosed with autoimmune disorder/Hashimoto's, I have done a little reading and was curious as to whether it's possible to actually have Hashimoto's but with the total opposite of the weight gain symptom? I tick a lot of the boxes, but weight gain seems a very, very common - almost

Asthma or not?
I was diagnosed with viral asthma on 10 September and I’m on the blue (since 10 September) and brown inhaler (since 14 September). I couldn’t get an asthma nurse’s appointment till a couple of days ago. She took a history, did a spirometry test (ok), watched my inhaler technique (good), told me my chest

Non specific gastritis, I’m not really sure what that means! 😏
Hi everyone, I had a positive Intrinsic factor test 3 yrs ago along with a low b12 serum level, I was then diagnosed with PA (after many years of various symptoms) I had b12 loading doses then monthly injections ever since which eventually helped some of my symptoms. Recently I’ve had oesophageal and

Post op.
So I had my 4th lap on Wednesday. They unstuck my bowels so hopefully I can ease off the laxatives, they did a cystoscopy and said I have interstitial cystitis so been referred to the urologist and they went to remove my endo and hunt for more but apparently when they did a thing called the head down

Downhill a little with cough variant asthma
Had a difficult week and saw both the asthma nurse who promptly went to get my GP. Now have prednisone 30mg for seven days and a chest x-Ray to be done. I was just coughing and coughing and full of mucus. Chest tight and sweating. Some crackles in lower lung. Of course no wheezing but I don’t wheeze

Positive for parietal cell antibodies
Hi everyone, I'm 30 years old and have been seeking a reason for feeling incredibly ill with a whole range of symptoms for over a decade. After using Blue Horizon I found a few years ago that I had hashimotos and so commenced a long battle to get treatment. I am now on Levothyroxine but feeling no better

Is pernicious anaemia likely?
Hi everyone, I'm 20 and I've been experiencing intense B12 deficiency symptoms since December, and have been housebound or bedbound due to muscle weakness and fatigue and inappropriate sinus tachycardia. I suffered extreme weight loss, and have a symptom list as long as my arm, all of which correlate

Steroid update
I had my depo steroid jab yesterday by a Rheumatoid nurse who was fantastic. She gave me a very thorough examination and really listened to me. Never had that before. She then insisted I had more blood tests and a chest X-ray that day. I thought you only had to have a chest X-ray if you were going to

Worsening breathing problems due to B12 deficiency?
Hi guys, I've been having a number of symptoms for the past 4-6 months which have increasingly become worse. Most notably, I've had gastritis-like symptoms, including bloating, wind, stomach discomfort and reflux, which often comes with a sort of 'lump in the throat'/tightness in my throat that comes

Back to square 1?.....
So....about a month ago I damaged my Achilles & ended up with 3 weeks out. Then, just as I was getting to wonder if I should start up again, I picked up what the GP described as a "bugger of a chest infection". 2 different lots of antibiotics, inhalers (I'm not asthmatic), ambulance called out, EGC &

Anti VEGF help
Hi there, I wonder if anyone else has had lasting side affects after anti VEGF? During the first injections, I had a feeling of pressure in my right eye but no pain. In my left eye it hurt quite a bit. I was left with blood in the eye for around 5 days, as well as a headache for about a week. The second

GCA Tapering Prednisolone too steeply, the next chapter
Hi all and firstly thank you for all the good advice and support I received in response to my previous post. To recap on 03/09/18 Had been advised by Rheumatologist to cut from 65mg to 30mg. By 10/09/18 I had head pains and was feeling really shaky so I phoned help line and was advised to go for blood
