Anaemia confusion
Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me to understand this whole anaemia business because I am deeply confused! I had the FBC done a few months ago, and the GP called me and told me that I was not anaemic but my red blood cells were slightly enlarged so they were going to test B12 and folate. Subsequently

GP appointment today
Hi I spoke with a different GP to get my dose increased since the one I have been seeing and my endo don't seem to have a clue with dropping my dose so drastically from 150mcg levothyroxine and 10mcg T3 to just 50mcg levothyroxine. They did not pay attention to my symptoms but the GP I have seen today

Folate bloods
I had a recent blood test which showed my folate level to be 9.1. I didnt get any ranges from the surgery but when I phoned them yesterday they said that my level needed to be above 3.8. My friend who is a nurse in the same area where I live gave me a range of 4.5-45.3 nm0l/l. I am already anaemic

Will recent B12 shots Affect Iron Panel results?
Hi all, I want to check my iron levels to see if I should supplement iron (I'm pretty sure I do as Hb is low). My question is, will my having had recent b12 loading shots affect my iron tests? Tests to run:- Serum Ferritin Serum Iron + Total Iron Binding Capacity Tranferrin Iron Saturation Percentage

Folate Blood result
I have a folate result of 9.1. The printout that the receptionist gave me did not have the ranges on them and when I asked for them, the receptionist did not know. I just wanted to know if I need to be prescribed folic acid. I am anaemic and am currently on iron (ferrous sulphate 200mg 2 x daily)

BMJ Best Practice website advice on B12 deficiency

In autoimmune gastritis (AIG) or thyrogastric syndrome (new one to me), iron deficiency may come before B12/cobalamin deficiency. Iron levels may need to be monitored, but AIG patients have difficulty with supplements and could need infusions. Iron deficiency + thyroid problem may be a signal for the

DBS infinity feedback
The Infinity DBS by St. Jude now Abbot is a newcomer and as such I'm not finding much peer reviewed literature regarding the performance and relative benefits compared to the Medtronics DBS. Any links or info would be appreciated!

Problems with the Medical Profession
As the B12 provided by the UK NHS has proved to be totally inadequate for my wife's needs, we have been supplementing her with injections of 1mg Methylcobolamin every month. This is proved to be literally a life-saver. She still gets a B12 shot every 3 months per NICE guidelines. Her recent blood

Cognition tests for DBS
Asking those of you who have had DBS or who are current candidates: what kind of cognition tests were you given and how well (or badly) did you do on them? Did any of you have a negative evaluation and then another more positive one?
