Results of recent X-ray-Early signs of COPD non acute
Hello Would firstly like to say I feel for anyone struggling with this disease. I personally feel quite shocked that I have probably got it! I’ve recently been told that my chest X-ray revealed that I have early signs of COPD but that it is non acute. I think I had two Covid infections this year

B12 ferritin connection??
I finally had my hematologist appt and was pleasantly surprised by how knowledgeable she was! She is very very concerned about my ferritin level, which was 11 when I went in and after she checked it is now 9. She is sending me to an allergist to try to desensitize me to b12 shots (and find out what

Shout at the Moon
Today I visited my GP to try to get an iron infusion, following a reading of ferritin level of 58. He said it was a bit low. I reminded him of the research I had shown him last time, which states that levels should be over 100 in RLS patients. Sadly he hadn't read it, wanted to be helpful, but just

Just a Little Worried
Hello, I went to the GP in May with a pain in the left-hand side of my chest and some breathlessness. A chest X-ray showed hyperinflated lungs, and a blood test showed elevated amylase levels. I was referred for spirometry to check for COPD, and the GP wrote to a consultant to see if a CT scan

Re testing all patients on b12 injections
I suppose this is just a heads up for anyone in the Cheshire and Merseyside area. I called my new gp surgery (having recently moved house) to book my b12 injection. I was told that I would need blood tests for b12 and intrinsic factor. I explained that these were done in 2017, my b12 was low and intrinsic

The X-ray was for covid induced lung/chest infection and possibly

A Fib again
I have had a fib for 4 years and been advised it will not damage your heart. Cardiology advise that the terrible tiredness I get is due to something else. I cannot take beta-blockers because they lower my blood pressure, making me ill. Fleccanaide has no effect. Following a chest x-ray, (all clear)

muscle stiffness
Hey guys, I am dealing with some of the side effects of a b12 deficiency. I am still awaiting the results from a blood test, testing for intrinsic factor. Most of my symptoms have improved a lot but I am left with a burning pain all down my leg, off balance and most importantly speech difficulty.

Levothyroxine and iron prescription
hi everyone, Just been told I’ve got low iron by the dr from my bloods and was looking online that you can’t take levo and iron together and they have to be taken on an empty stomach. Please can someone confirm is this is correct? Thank you for your help.

After loading doses
Hello, I finished my loading doses about a month ago now and have been told to get injections every three months. Most symptoms have gone but some have appeared. I have pain in random places throughout the day. Mostly my joints (especially ankle) and in my chest which come and go. I went to the doctors

Just got back from the VA emergency room where I was told to go immediately by the VA nurse advice hotline. Fell asleep in my computer chair and when I awoke I put my oximeter on my finger and it showed a reading for heart rate of 37 but after a couple of blips went right up to normal which is around

Nearly there,a little more help please
Hi everyone, I've just had retrospective confirmation that I was B12 deficient. After 6 injections have improved my RBC, MCH, WCC and heamoglobin. My heamotoligist wants to test me for MMA and intrinsic factor. How long do I need to leave the tests after an injection? Will the MMA be skewed from

Well, further to my post last week, I've had the results of both my faecal occult blood test (for new re-occurring digestive issues) and BNP blood test (for indications of heart failure) and all have come back normal with no further action required. The extreme fatigue has improved significantly
