hi everyone, I just wanted to ask a question as I think I understand this but am not 100% sure, If you have B12 deficiency, folate deficiency, and iron deficiency all togeather which I think could also be, microcytic, macrocytic, and iron deficiency anemia, do they compete with each to give false

Paper: elevated b12 bound to immunoglobulins masking B12 deficiency
Latest paper from Wolffenbuttel of "The many faces of cobalamin deficiency" fame. Fascinating! https://casereports.bmj.com/content/15/1/e247660.long (full text available) Abstract: In clinical practice, the finding of an elevated serum B12 concentration is often the consequence of supplementation

Association of maternal urinary fluoride concentrations during pregnancy with size at birth & potential mediation effect by maternal thyroid
Relatively unusually, I'm posting this partly because of the "it's not thyroid" aspect! We have had many, many posts regarding fluoride and whether, how, it might affect the thyroid gland and thyroid hormone levels. The fact that the increased birth size and weight in this study appear not to be due

Hashimoto's and Anaemia - anyone tried IV iron infusion?
Hi all, Recently had full blood tests done as advised on this board :) and T4 and T3 were both high end of normal range, so "optimal", and the only flag was that my iron was low - ferritin of 21 when GP feels 125-150 would be ideal. I'm so exhausted all the time and devastated about how limited I am

This might be of interest for anyone who struggles to raise their iron levels or is frequently anaemic or nearly anaemic
I should point out that this paper is old. It was first published in 2000. The second thing I want to point out is that it has 176 references, which to my mind is quite bizarre, but some of them could be of interest. And thirdly, the link is to the abstract only but there is an option to "Save PDF

Panic (in the streets of Birmingham)
Couldn’t resist this allusion to a song by the Smiths and I do live in Birmingham (not Alabama!). I was surprised when asking for a search to be done on our site how few posts there were with Panic in the title. I’m panicking quite a lot recently due to obvious progression of the disease. I’m panicking

Neutropenia and its effects.....
I was diagnosed with lupus by my rheumatologist in 2020. Since 2016 I have had low iron levels on numerous occasions, which was initially treated with oral iron with little effect. I was eventually given an iron infusion in May 2021. This brought my iron levels up for some time, but in April this

Increased PA Symptoms and Iron Deficiency
I have no idea if what I'm experiencing is just a flare or could be possible related to my iron deficiency issues, but I figured I'd post on here to see if anyone else has had a similar experience. I was diagnosed with both PA and Iron Deficiency without Anemia at the same time. I have been doing

About Iron
I'm asking a lot of questions - sorry - but I really have to get this problem sorted out, and this is such a great place to ask questions. When I first got RLS really badly, I read up and found out about possible iron deficiency. I thought this was strange as I eat huge amounts of food with lots of

Tests for iron
Following the advice in the Mayo's clinic protocol, I asked my doctor for a full iron assessment including serum iron, ferritin, total iron-binding capacity, and percentage transferrin saturation which should be measured in the early morning after an overnight fast. She did not arrange any tests for

Private FIT test recommendation
Hi, I'm still very much in that 'more questions than answers' phase regarding my health with a mix of thyroid, anaemia and perimenopause issues going on. Due to repeated low iron over many years, I'm thankful the NHS is now looking into the cause and I have a colonoscopy and gastroscopy arranged

I saw my first neuro after over five years
Today I saw the MDD who diagnosed me in august 2017. Before him I saw other doctors who could not figure what I had. So after over five years I saw him again. That time my score was 17 and today 23. He was surprised to find out my progression was very small. I told him I think the Thiamine helped me

Coping with heat
I need your advice my friends. We live in the north of England and rarely get a heatwave but this summer we had 2 and my HWP, who is in his 29th year of diagnosis, really suffered. I looked on HU and saw this can be a problen in PD. I told him what I had read and dealt with it with fans and cold packs

Muscle pain and DBS
Has anyone experienced muscle pain in your arms, legs, etc. after DBS? Do settings have anything to do with it?

Husband’s recent iron panel labs show dire ferritin but other levels appear to say he shouldn’t supplement. Unless I’ve misunderstood
We requested an iron panel as it was clear his GP wasn’t going to offer even though husband falls asleep at the drop of a hat. I’m glad we asked because his ferritin is very low having fallen from his usual 50-90 over the years 26/07/22 Ferritin 19.2 (22 -322) Serum iron 21.4 (14 - 31.3) 42.77%
