Factor Xa inhibitor

Good morning. I am getting pretty debilitating muscle pain in my core - around my groin and up above. I think maybe these are my rectus abdominis muscles.

I've had major stomach issues forever. I'll spare you the detail, but it's changed and gotten significantly worse since I started b12 injections 2 years ago. I have found a few things that help but nothing cured. The issues have turned into just straight up pain. Like stabbing, throbbing, wrapping around

Greetings. This is my first post. One GP at the group practice where I'm a patient (let's call her GP A) recently diagnosed me with and treated me for pernicious anaemia (PA). She described my B12 levels as 'undetectable'. I've just completed a course of 6 vitamin B12 loading doses. Another GP (let's

Hello, My husband (age 46) had a heart attack in December and had a stent fitted in his LAD artery. The surgery went well, all other arteries were clear, he attended the rehab programme and was coping well and was discharged.

I was diagnosed with Pernicious Anaemia in 2018 but was not aware that I needed injections for it, so took oral supplements instead.

I've got blood test next Wednesday for vit D, ferritin, folate and iron panel. Plus thyroid and intrinsic factor anti bodies. I've cut out B complex and taking methyl folate already. Should I stop taking D and the folate before the tests? Thank you 🙏
