Please help: Gastrointestinal symptoms
27 year old female, diagnosed with anti-parietal cells 6 years ago.
I'll try to keep it as brief and succinct as possible ... I have severe gastrointestinal discomfort. Every single day of my life, without fail. Doesn't matter how well I eat. My diet is immaculate yet I get extremely bloated,

Hoping for improvement - lining scan
Just awaiting my lining check this morning after a cancelled cycle and hysterscopy that showed thin pale unresponsive lining. I’ve literally done everything I possibly can to improve; acupuncture, fertility massage and yoga, castor oil packs, good diet, no drink, vitamin c, d, e and l’argine, co enzyme

Can PA just disappear, even though you still suffer?
So, my nurse practitioner tested my intrinsic factor. I no longer have records of when I was diagnosed with PA about 6 years ago. Apparently, she did not feel comfortable managing my symptoms and referred me to a Hematologist. I go see the Hematologist and he tells me I no longer have PA, but doc, I'm

GP still not getting it!
Had 6 loading doses in June, Doctor gave them reluctantly as levels had risen to 400 from 140 on oral supplements. I gave her lots of info re nhs guidelines and info from PA society which she promised to read. Was told to go back in August. Felt better at end of loading shots, but symptoms (exhaustion

Stiffness in scalp and Physio
Diagnosed with PMR IN January. Now on 15 mgs .the stiffness originally was lower body but now primarily upper body..mainly into my head and behind ear...very uncomfortable..not sharp pain but dull ache ...GCA was ruled out by A great Rheumatologist..so he mentioned a chest X-ray and physiotherapist

GP wants to reduce my dose
Hi all I'm taking 125 mcg of levothyroxine and 20mcg of liothyronine. My levothyroxine had been increased by 25 mcg approx January this year as I had ongoing fatigue symptoms. GP had suggested levo increase. At the same time, he tested iron and that was found to be a little low. He prescribed me Syrton

Intrinsic factor
Looking at recent blood results my intrinsic factor is 1, which doc says is fine, says it should be below 1.2 U/ml. I self Inject now as spray/tablets don’t help. Do I need to ask for the test to be done again? I don’t like to waste resources.

Worried about other half
So after being diagnosed with AF and unsuccessful cardioversion, OH has taken Amiodarone for 18 months prior to ablation last November. Following ablation, he suffered with digestive problems. Continued to take Amiodarone til he started coughing & feeling breathless; he saw his GP who immediately stopped

Blood test results - v confused
Hello everyone! Firstly, can I just say thank you for even reading this post. My situation is, I was diagnosed hypo after I had my first child April 2017.

I think I have PA but my test results say otherwise? (& rapid increase in symptoms?)
Hello! I have had anaemia for about a year and my GP has been trying to work out what is causing it. I initially had low-ish b12 so had the b12 injections and my anaemia improved somewhat; since then I have been on the b12 pills instead (as we wondered if i had a dietary deficiency). The anaemia has

Advice requested
Hi 👋 Sorry for long post... I’ve had bilateral swelling and stiffness in feet, ankles, knees, shoulders, wrists and hands for a while now but seems to have worsened over past 12 months or so. GP has recently done bloods - Rheumatoid factor was 10 (range <15) so I’m guessing this rules out RA? My ESR

Help - hoping Doc will do Intrinsic Factor test
Hi all! Long time user of the Thyroid UK HealthUnlocked forum, first time poster over here. I am diagnosed hypothyroid (I think it's hashimotos due to antibody flares) and over the years have had low vit D and low B12. I'm aware that with hypothyroid it's important to have good vitamin levels to help

Post-op advice please!
I am preparing for a laparoscopic total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo oopherectomy and excision as I have Stage 4 Endo. My operation is scheduled for August 12th and have been told that the bloating from the gases used during operation can be painful so I’ve been researching medicines. I have come

B12 deficency or not?
Was hoping someone here could offer some advice. My GP recently ran blood tests to exclude Pernicous Anemia and B12 deficiency (both of which have now been ruled out - see results below) Intrinsic factor Abs = 1.77 Unit METHYLMALONIC ACID 0.27 umol/L [0.1 - 0.42] Is it normal to exclude B12 deficency

Folic acid and Sudden onset of symptoms
Hi Everyone - I’m new to the group and have just been diagnosed with PA. My b12 blood test was 311 but I had strong neurological symptoms that went away with b12 shots. Starting from March 2019 until I started B12 shots 3 weeks ago, I was having neurological symptoms where my feet and hands were burning

Pain in right upper abdomen
Hi, I'm very worried about my husband who's had a dull ache for a few weeks under his right rib cage. He also has twinges in his back occasionally. He had a CT scan a month ago, a chest X ray and ultrasound of his kidneys which was all clear. We have an appointment with GP but not for a few days. Any
