I got my results I have a 1 on 0-1.1 scale for intrinsic factor. Over 1.1 is a positive result. Since 1 is borderline and the test is 50% false negative should I assume I have pernicious? I have all symptoms.

Low iron and ferritin levels?
I have low iron. My HB is 9 and my ferritin levels are just 4. I also have many vitamin b12 and folate deficiency symptoms but my GP says my levels are fine and within the normal range. Vit b12 is 319 (range on the report was 197-771) and Folate is 5.9. Does anyone know if these deficiencies all go hand

Dipyridamole update
I have been on 100mg x2, one at about 4pm and one closer to 8pm. It is recommended to take Dipyridamole on an empty stomach. This is still lower than the effective dosage in the study and I intend to increase it. I have cut pregabalin from 300mg to 150mg. My goal is to cut it again when the 150mg

Should I have been tested for PA before starting loading doses?
Hi everyone, I'm currently on my loading doses and have a sneaking worry that my treatment/investigatons into PA aren't as efficient as I'd previously thought - I'd appreciate some advice as I sometimes find the clinical information online very complicated/contradicting. Firstly they will only give me

The difference between intrinsic factor antibody test and MMA
Hi all and thanks in advance for any help. I have long suspected I have a B12 problem even though my active B12 blood tests are showing ok. I understand that there are conditions that mask the deficiency and stop the B12 actually being absorbed (if I understand rightly). I have the autoimmune condition

An Introduction and a salutary tale about Felodipine
Hi There I am brand new. As an introduction I thought I would relate a tale that started a year ago, to help other people in a similar situation. A year ago, I realised I was very depressed. I put it down to stress of the continuing pandemic and the fact it was winter. I know I suffer from winter depression

Testing please
Hi, I’m still waiting on the intrinsic factor and pareital tests. I have a feeling they will be normal since 50% false negative. What tests does one then do if that happens? I know b12 is causing psychosis because it happened right when went vegan as well as other symptoms like headaches, hair loss,

Plasma viscosity?
Dear forum members After a month of suffering unpleasant flare up symptoms my GP eventually ordered blood tests for C Reactive protein, plasma viscosity, ANA, ANCA and rheumatoid factor. I looked up the results on my patient record and saw that plasma viscosity was normal and no further action required

Left Bundle Branch Block?
Hi again, sorry for yet another thread. Hope it’s allowed. I’ve been back to A&E again tonight experiencing mild chest symptoms. I almost didn’t go because it wasn’t as bad as last time and I thought I was just being paranoid. ECG showed same abnormal changes as last time and the doctor told me I have

Can anyone help me with hair loss?
The picture is from a hair wash this morning. It comes out in little clumps each time I rinse my hair. I have hypothyroidism and had my thyroid out 8 years ago. I take thyroxine 150mcg and have blood tests every 6 months to check my levels. I've been given ferrous sulphate 200mg and take this every day

I need help please. I have heart palpitations, headaches, hair loss and psychosis at same time. Doctor found severe anemia and thinks it is pernicious. She wants to do labcorp test for pernicious but they rule out if b12 normal. But you can still have pernicious with normal b12. Please what test is helpful

Anyone know about Globulin levels
Anyone had experience of “low globulin” count when having a blood test? Had my monthly Methotrexate blood test last Tuesday, the GP rang me Wednesday afternoon to say my globulin count was a bit low & with my “Rheumatoid factor”. Of course he didn’t explain what it was & when I asked what needed to be

Wait for appointment
My husband started with pain and swelling in his hands, awful fatigue and nausea about 2 months ago. GP did bloods and x ray, said no rheumatoid factor or inflammatory markers but referred him to rheumatology as an urgent referral as it’s having such an impact on his life and work. (And mine as I’m having
