Discontinuing B12 injections.
My mother had PA. According to parietal cell and intrinsic factor tests, I don't. My B12 was low but at the time I was taking omeprazole. If I had a blood test now, how long would I need to wait before having another one to determine whether I need injections for life or not? Can high B12 cause paraesthesia

Hairloss - very worried 😧
Hello All, I am regular poster on the thyroid forum but this is my first post here! My question is has anyone experienced hairloss due to very low B12 and folate levels? I’ve had hairloss for five months now and have lost a lot of hair. I’m waiting for the intrinsic factor (?) blood test before I start

Consultant letter
It has arrived and says small inflammation but I do not have significant Rheumatoid factor protein but it confirms I have elevated level of CCP so therefore I have RA. So now methx and ulta sound next. 2nd & 8th Oct. I think he did not believe me when I was in there so glad in one way it shows something

What were your symptoms just prior to treatment?
What a great site, so glad I stumbled on to it. A big thank you for all the testimonies on my previous post. I have another question here, but first: My case seems quite unique in that I virtually have to symptoms other than an occasional dull ache in some lymph nodes (groin area) but no swelling. BTW

How do you know when you should worry?
I hope it's okay to post this here. I don't know where else to ask. If it's not okay kindly let me know and I will delete the post. I am a 37 year old female with a history of SVT and other arrythmias. I have a loop recorder implanted currently due to some dizzy spells I have been having for the last

Biopsy Results
Hi all, You may remember a few months ago I posted about protein in my urine as well as slightly echogenic kidneys. Well I have had my biopsy results and I am finding the results a little confusing. The official results were “immune complex-mediated glomerulonephritis with segmental glomerular scarring

So cold!
Hi, have Sys. Sclerosis ...I am not having a good time just now....or for quite a while.... I am feeling cold all the time. It is strange because it seems to be from my 'core' like I am not generating heat to warm my body, if that makes any sense! I have had a quilt around me on the livingroom couch

Intrinsic Factor Reference Ranges
Hi, I wonder if anyone can shed some light on these reference ranges for intrinsic factor. The first one was done 2013, when I was convinced I had PA. The second one was done in June this year by Medichecks. The third one was done by my GP on the 29th of August. I have no idea why she ordered it as

False Positive PA Test
Hey guys, I took a PA test recently (Intrinsic Factor Antibody) and it came back positive. I'm always a little skeptical so I did some more research. I ended up finding the information below from Quest who is the lab that did my test. I had been getting 3 b12 injections per week when I got the tests

Anyone had any joy reducing or eliminating presence of parietal cell antibodies?
Has anyone had any help from visiting a gastroenterologist? Interventions (surgical or drugs?) by, or Advice from, a gastroentereologist? Can dietary adjustments help? Or are there known or suspected triggers (foods, toxins, stress etc), for the antibodies, that I can look to remove? (Similar to

Does this sound right? Really confused
In May this year my routine B12 blood test was 240 (range 170 - 800) with the lab commenting that less than 250 can be considered a deficiency in a symptomatic patient, especially the elderly. Because I have been very fatigued for a very long time (the reason for my clinic visit), my GP started me on

Short of breath with normal X-Ray but low DLCO level.
Reposting this hoping to get some feedback! I have been experiencing shortness of breath and chest tightness for 6 weeks now. I had a chest X-Ray that came back clear. My breathing test, however, revealed a low DLCO level at 60.4% of predicted value and a DLCO/VA of 99.3% of predicted value. My other

How to use castor oil packs
Hi Someone mentioned caster oil packs recently. I'd heard of using them before but I sort of forgot about them. Does anyone have experience of using them? (and just on abdomen or liver as well?) I understand how you use them just not sure when I should start and when to stop? I've just been given the

Chest X-Ray
Hi there, Quick question, it is part of the GCA treatment protocol at my rheumatologist to do a chest x-ray every year to screen for aneurysm. Is this legit? I don’t see this mentioned much and I avoid extra radiation if possible.
