Pernicious Anemia with worsening neuropathy. I'm new here.
I was diagnosed by my physician in late February 2020 of pernicious anemia after a follow-up visit to my physician from an emergency room visit approximately 1 week prior. I will try to tell my story without being too lengthy, so here goes. Approximately 3 years ago I began having very brief episodes

B12 neuro folic acid
Neuro bad symtoms there’s so much different advice around I’m so confused most are saying b12 injections are useless without folic acid or folate ? Others say you don’t need it if your levels are within range So how on earth do you keep track etc if you b12 every other day and if that uses folate you

Diagnostic tests
Hi everyone, I was wondering which tests people had to reach their diagnosis? I have many of the symptoms and a raised MCH. However, my intrinsic factor test just came back negative today. My B12 levels tend to be around 250. I also have Hashimotos Thyroiditis. My GP says she thinks I don't have PA and

Doctors want to stop injections altogether
Hello all, Following my recent post re. contacting my doctor’s surgery about coming back in for injections (for free as usual) rather than self-injecting at home (for £9.15 (and rising) a pop), I’ve received a letter in the post from my GP... She has used this opportunity to write to me informing me

Asthma hit me out of the blue
Hello to everyone at A UK I joined Health Unlocked some time ago because I suffered from Polymyalgia Rheumatica and needed advice. It's a nasty auto immune condition that can be managed with steroids. I am one of the lucky people to make a recovery after 2 years. Now, I'm getting on happily with life

Pain
Have had pain in my hands and less so in my elbows and shoulders for several months. My GP has spoken on the phone to me and been given voltarol gel which helps a bit. Blood tests show raised inflammatory markers and rheumatoid factor. Have been referred to rheumatology as GP thinks rheumatoid arthritis

iron's role in B12 injections
Could I ask your opinion please on iron? There are two conflicting views: B12 injections bring down iron levels and B12 will help absorption of iron and therefore increase them. I don’t have and never had macrocytosis. If iron, like potassium, is used in the formation of red blood cells only if there

supplements timings
Hi, I know this has been asked before but i can't find any posts on it. I take my levothyroxine first thing in the morning, and i'm going to start taking vitamin D, B12 and iron. I'm sure iron needs to be taken away from anything else but i wondered can i take vitamin B12 and D together? I was thinking

Ferritin
I came across some posts here helping somebody with low ferritin and you sound extremely knowledgeable and hope you can advise me. I've been having tests for an IBS type problem and the bloods found my ferritin is 10.1 (new word to me!) I was called with the result and was just told my Ferritin level

Question... on castor oil packs !?
Hi Ladies. Quick question. I’ve my 7th FET booked for Wednesday 9th of sept ( next wk) I’ve always suffered with thin lining, so this time I gave castor oil packs a go. I think it has made a big difference. I got to my 8mm at today’s scan ( woohoo 🙌) and I start progesterone tomorrow. QUESTION IS

Where to next?
So I have hit a small impasse with my doctor and I'm not sure where to go next. To summarise where I am in my B12 journey, I was diagnosed B12 deficient almost 1 year ago, I was not given the Intrinsic Factor test before commencing loading doses. I was originally started on normal loading doses, until

Is it pernicious anemia?
Just confused over my blood results, my b12 went from 197-144 in just one week. My intrinsic factor was 2. I am currently on my third injection and not feeling much better. The nurse says I wasn’t absorbing b12 at all but the gp was very vague in diagnosis. I have a lot of symptoms of PA and have done

How long after injections are MMA and Homocysteine tests inaccurate?
I'm having a very hard time finding the answer to this, how long must I go without injections for an MMA or homocysteine test to be accurate? I've read don't supplement before an MMA test but for how long? Background: I just want to know if there's any chance I've invalidated my test results through

Chest pain
This sounds totally off topic, however I thought it's worth a try! I suffer with endo, usual symptoms etc. All abdominal, leg pain, lower back etc. However since Friday I've been suffering with extreme chest pains which is a constant dull aching pain. Then every now and again I get a sharp stabbing pain

What Happens at the Severe/Difficult Asthma Clinic
Its something that comes up quite a lot on here and I’ve seen it mentioned a few times recently so I thought I would write a post about my experiences at a severe asthma clinic and the kind of things they do there as I think I’ve had about every test under the sun at mine!! Just be aware, though that
