Reliable PA test
Is there a test for P A that is completely reliable? I mentioned to doctor that I’d read intrinsic factor test could be unreliable and she got irritated with me and said what’s the point of doing it if I don’t trust results! Just want to know for sure.

New here and desperate for advice
I'm new here and felling lost. B12 at 165 but GP won't treat as I'm vegetarian (eat LOADS of eggs + other dairy and Marmite!). Up to 2yrs ago, was receiving injections but these stopped when I had a blood test that showed a higher level of B12 after months of talking iron supplements for plain old anemia

Private blood test
Hi there, is there a reliable private blood test I can get to check for PA and AMG? Would it be intrinsic factor test? I saw Medichecks do one. Also would it effect results if my levels are ok at the moment( have been supplementing with a B12 spray. Blood results last April (1 year after loading injections

Health Anxiety Sucks
So my health anxiety has been really bad the last week or so. I again ran to the ER thinking I was having a heart attack lastnight. I was having palpitations and left arm pain and I jumped out of bed so fast, threw on the first thing I could find and raced to the nearest hospital. Blood work, EKG, chest

Ferritin/iron result - should I increase iron supplementation?
Hi everyone, I have just received the result from Medichecks re my iron deficiency check. When first diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 2017, my ferritin was 33. For one month I supplemented with one ferrous fumarate 210 mg per day, then stopped for fear of overdosing. A couple of months after that I did

Help for itchy, dry skin.
My skin has always been very dry, but has changed over previous months, feeling much more dry and uncomfortable with patches of eczema developing. (Am hypothyroid). On friend's recommendation have been using Equimins Udder Cream - 1 kg Tub - Eqs0367. It's actually for horses but is a non-greasy
