Thybon Henning doesn’t contain acacia?!
Sharing for info but also a question around changes to formulation. I’ve recently had my T3 increased which meant moving to Thybon Henning 20s. Since I’m allergic to acacia, I set about trying to find out if it contained it. I spoke to 2 pharmacies (SmartWay and Roseseway Labs) as well as doing my

unsure about diagnosis.
I am 77 and just had spirometry test and been diagnosed with severe COPD. Chest X-ray normal, sputum normal, oxygen 99%., no crackles or wheezing. No breathlessness just morning and evening chesty cough a few times which sometimes means expelling clear phlegm but not always. I have not been prescribed

Association of maternal urinary fluoride concentrations during pregnancy with size at birth & potential mediation effect by maternal thyroid
Relatively unusually, I'm posting this partly because of the "it's not thyroid" aspect! We have had many, many posts regarding fluoride and whether, how, it might affect the thyroid gland and thyroid hormone levels. The fact that the increased birth size and weight in this study appear not to be due

INTRINSIC FACTOR ANTIBODY TEST . Has any member with P.A. had to have more than one IFAB test to get a positive reading ?
Is it a fact that the Intrinsic Factor antibodies come and go continually ? Or do they not appear when the patient has had P.A. untreated for a long period ,and the antibodies have “done their job “ and destroyed the parietal cells ?

Hashimoto's and Anaemia - anyone tried IV iron infusion?
Hi all, Recently had full blood tests done as advised on this board :) and T4 and T3 were both high end of normal range, so "optimal", and the only flag was that my iron was low - ferritin of 21 when GP feels 125-150 would be ideal. I'm so exhausted all the time and devastated about how limited I am

letter just recieved
we are looking at all our patients on B12 Injections; hence it is necessary that we check your current B12 levels and check for for Pernicious Aneamia which (is inability to absorb from your stomach)and So that we can continue to adminoster injections to those that have positive antibodies and advised

Tight chest ~ waiting for angiogram
Hi everyone. I went into A&E last weekend with chest tightness and some breathing difficulty, along with some other symptoms. They were brilliant, kept me in for a couple of days, lots of ECGs, a chest X-ray and contrast CT to rule out a PE, which was clear. Long story short, ECG shows some ischemic

This might be of interest for anyone who struggles to raise their iron levels or is frequently anaemic or nearly anaemic
I should point out that this paper is old. It was first published in 2000. The second thing I want to point out is that it has 176 references, which to my mind is quite bizarre, but some of them could be of interest. And thirdly, the link is to the abstract only but there is an option to "Save PDF

Vitamin B12 deficiency update
After waiting over 3 weeks for my Intrinsic Factor blood test - it’s normal Intrinsic Factor ABS 2.30 - so I am to take CyanocoMinn 50mg - 2 each day for 8 weeks and then more tests including celiac test. I am feeling incredibly tired and wiped out at the moment, which I just put down to PMR so hope

Liver test & starting methotrexate.
hi everyone. I'm a bit confused, I had my chest x Ray and blood test ready to start methotrexate, but the nurse called and said my liver result was a bit high and also my immflamation markers were up although my CRP being raised doesn't surprise me in the slightest seeing as I'm still in my initial

Neutropenia and its effects.....
I was diagnosed with lupus by my rheumatologist in 2020. Since 2016 I have had low iron levels on numerous occasions, which was initially treated with oral iron with little effect. I was eventually given an iron infusion in May 2021. This brought my iron levels up for some time, but in April this

diagnosed
Was originally diagnosed 8 years ago. I have not had injections for 2 years due to covid so asked GP to restart them but wouldn’t without blood test etc. blood test has come back saying b12 is normal and intrinsic factor is negative so he is saying I don’t have PA anymore? And therefore won’t treat me

Increased PA Symptoms and Iron Deficiency
I have no idea if what I'm experiencing is just a flare or could be possible related to my iron deficiency issues, but I figured I'd post on here to see if anyone else has had a similar experience. I was diagnosed with both PA and Iron Deficiency without Anemia at the same time. I have been doing

About Iron
I'm asking a lot of questions - sorry - but I really have to get this problem sorted out, and this is such a great place to ask questions. When I first got RLS really badly, I read up and found out about possible iron deficiency. I thought this was strange as I eat huge amounts of food with lots of

hi again guys I’ve been taking b12 lozenges daily now 5000mcg x 5-6 a day to increase the dose while I wait for GPS to do their investigations… intrinsic factor came back at 1.63 but I know it’s not reliable.
