Carbimazole: Joint pain
So the good news is that the heart rate settled without further issue, in fact I'm probably a bit below normal now, but not too low - perhaps stress from the appointment - who knows. The other problem I have is now the joint pain is getting much much worse ie it is waking me in the night. I have

Castor oil packs during stims?
Hi all, I am preparing for my next FET by using low dose gonal f to stimulate a follicle and produce natural oestrogen. I’ve had a history of thin lining and want to try to improve it. I was going to try the castor oil pack however I read somewhere that you can’t use it during stims. Does anyone know

IBS-C - have had this for life and is playing up again now
I remember being taken to hospital at a pre-school age because I had a 'blockage.' After that my mother gave me castor oil, enos, sennapods, that Ex-Lax chocolate that would not fool a 4 year old, prunes. You name it I had it and I can never remember having a bowel movement normally. I could go for

Cure your RLS with castor oil
I have been suffering with RLS for nearly 45 years. I am now 75 and it is getting worse. I used to have several days between RLS attacks. Now I have one every night. I’ve been taking carbidopa/levodopa for 2 years. Helped so much but I believe augmentation is kicking in. Where before I had to

Intrinsic factor
I seem to be at a sticking point with the findings of the intrinsic factor test. This is due to the way they now interpret the test results. My test result was Au/ml 1.63 ... Which I jumped with joy over as I thought "at last, this proves I have been telling the truth". How wrong I was. It is no longer

positive then negative intrinsic factor
hi guys,
I
had a positive intrinsic
factor
blood
test
back in April and this was before any b-12 injections. Since then, the doctors have wanted to do two other intrinsic factor blood tests and both came back negative and the doctors are confused why is this? Thanks, Ella (:

Intrinsic Factor (IF) Antibodies testing while on B12
Hello folks - If someone has IF Antibodies and is taking b12 ...would that affect an IF and IF Antibodies blood test..? I dont think it should - as if you have errosive gastritis / malabsorbtion issues etc, you got them...and the B12 wont improve that in any way...? Thanks lovely PA folks

Newbie and confused. Functional B12 deficiency?
Anti nuclear antibodies
test
was negative. Intrinsic
factor
antibodies
test
was negative.
I
am aware that false negatives are common. Whenever I have had to have a full blood count at the surgery, my MCV has always been just above the top of the range, as has my lymphocyte count.

Folic Acid does not cause PA
I saw this article with responses about the consumption of folic acid. What do people think about the responses? Especially the one who says that there shouldn't be a limit to the amount of folic acid taken. https://www.bmj.com/content/329/7479/1376/rapid-responses I have been taking 5mg folic acid

Low B12 and ferritin questions
It was only when
I
asked about the intrinsic
factor
test
that they then agreed to test for it. On the one hand, I am happy I now have supplements but I'm worried that oral supplements won't be enough and injections might be better. Is there any reason the dr wouldn't prescribe me injections?

Self-care while waiting for diagnosis
Hello everyone, I recently went to my family doctor about an achey burning in my hips, shoulders and neck that is much worse in the morning, ongoing for about a month now. Getting out of bed and up from chairs is suddenly very difficult (but gets easier by about supper time). My appetite is also down
