Ex-THC Vape user with lung pains
I will just repost my Bio here. It covers most everything. I’m just looking for help and maybe (hopefully) reassurance. I’m 35, I have 2 beautiful kids. I just want to see them grow up.

‘Borderline’ term in X Ray test
Afternoon, I’ve just had a ‘borderline’ test result for a chest X Ray. I’m not sure what the ‘borderline’ bit actually means. Does it mean ‘slightly abnormal’ etc. Your words of wisdom would be appreciated. Have a good day!

My PMR journey is probably in reality nearer 3 years long. From actual diagnosis from the rheumatologist it is just over 2 years. I am currently taking 1MG of Pred a day. On Christmas Day I was admitted to hospital with a serious infection. This resulted from a UTI infection which the oral antibiotics

If taking B12 supps skew's PA Intrinsic Factor test, does it do the same for Gastric Parietal Cell AB too?
Hi Everyone, Im a bit out of my depth here and wondered if you could help please. Ive taken B Complex for nearly 25 years, I do wonder whether serum levels have always been scuppered, as I read again that to do a credible PA , MMA test I needed to be off B12 for minimum 4- 6 moths , possibly longer

Blood test result - iron
Hi all I have taken iron tablets prescribed by my GP for over 15 years. My Ferritin levels were low when I was in my 20s and have taken iron tablets since then. I was really unwell last year with an unrelated illness and I haven’t taken my iron tablets for a few months. My results; Serum Iron

Can anyone shed some light on Anti CCP antibodies result?
Hi everyone, my name is Claire. I’ve just received back some blood test results (Rheumatoid Factor and Anti CCP antibodies). The Rheumatoid Factor came back negative but the Anti CCP came back as 10.4 K/UL. The test states that normal range is under 2.9 K/Ul yet mine is over 3 times higher. The last

10yo daughters results…HELP!
Hello, I have posted before regarding my daughter who is 10yo but we have just had some very unusual and worrying results which may explain her health issues. She has a long term history of low platelets and I’ve been trying to solve this for her as it has been unexplained. We have strong family history

Help Needed! Have I got Pernicious Anaemia?
I hope this isn't too long and/or too boring. I suspect I have PA but as with a lot of people here, no-one seems to take B12 deficiency seriously. I also have hypothyroidism so as my symptoms got increasingly worse over the past few years, I blamed my thyroid - the two conditions have many symptoms

Advice moving forward?
So I recently had blood tests that showed low b12, iron and vit D. Was prescribed tablets for the iron and vit D. And put on a course of B12 loading doses. 6 injections over 2 weeks. it's now been 2 weeks after the last b12 injection and none of my symptoms have improved. When I talked to the gp,

any way to increase ferritin without increasing iron saturation?
after two months of taking iron supplements (75mg every other night on empty stomach), my ferritin rose from 51 to 158. Unfortunately, my iron saturation rose from 46% to 59%. This is caused by fairly high iron (172) and fairly low transferrin (291), though both are within normal range. My doctor

How do you know if your intrinsic factor antibody blood test is good or bad?

Zypan?
Hi everyone. Just wondering if anybody here is taking Zypan or have taken it before? Just watched a really helpful video from Dr Berg on YouTube on PA where he mentions this helps to absorb B12 if there is a lack of intrinsic factor
