seeing neurologist, advice on b12 injections welcomed…
hi all? have been prescribed with PA. My ferritin levels are normal - 177 Vitamin D- 70. I have finished loading does for b12 last week. My last reading was 188 2 weeks ago but imagine it’s greater than 2000 now. My folate was low - 3.5. My Gp has helpfully given me folic acid 5 mg a day

ATA Virtual Patient Forum: International Thyroid Awareness Week - Wednesday, May 29, 2024, 8pm - 9:15pm EDT
In case anyone is interested, registration appears to be open - both in they are accepting registrations AND it is open to the public. It would be interesting to find out about how useful it is. The time makes it somewhat awkward for many in the UK. I think it works out to be 01:00 in the morning

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) .

Autoimmune condition
Hi everyone. The results from my ANA and ENA came back with a broad diagnosis of connective tissue disease. They've ruled out lupus. This plus the thyroid stuff is going to be fun to deal with 😅. The Coeliac disease test was inconclusive because my GP forgot to advise me to have bread for at least 4

Latest blood tests
Hi everyone, I posted a while ago about getting all my underactive thyroid symptoms back, joint pains, fatigue, anxiety and others. I’d had test results saying my TSH was low, but the dr was saying that it was satisfactory. I managed to speak to another dr and she ordered full blood tests. My results

Do I Poke The Bear?
I had my B12 jab last week, I get these every 2 months and am grateful to have them. I've suffered B12 issues since childhood, have dim memories of blood tests and B12 jabs back in the day. I changed surgeries in the early 90's due to moving and have been with this practice ever since. So I'm not sure

How UV affects us
Looking west Isle of Wight, Taken on a local walk a few weeks ago. I found this an internet explanation. Thanks to Striated Cacara. UV rays damage the cells of the skin. When the cells of the skin become damaged from UV light, it causes them to die, in a process known as apoptosis. In a person without
