Mornings
Good morning everyone, Since I’ve reduced prednisolone down to 5mg I have noticed wrist and hand stiffness in the mornings. Sometimes my fingers feel as if they are tingling when I wake. I also still have puffiness on the outside of each ankle below the bone despite reducing steroids. I thought this

Glans Problems
I got circumcised on the 24th Dec healing went well but I've developed a red rash on my glans that will not go away. I've been using castor oil as it feels very dry on occasions. To me it feels like new skin is growing on the glans. Has anyone else experienced this or do I need too see a Dr for some

Normal blood levels mean anything?
I generally have normal b12 levels in the 500-600 range but have symptoms that mimic b12 deficiency. Sometimes my folate levels are low and I supplement there but was wondering if b12 injections are the next step. My doctor did a parietal cell antibody test and that was high at 30 but mma was below

B12 deficiency, IFab negative, oral cyanocobalamine not working... what's the cause of deficiency?
Hi, I'm new here, just looking for any insight on my situation to try and figure out the cause of my b12 deficiency... For a little background: I'm 32, female. I first became aware of low b12 levels in mid 2020. I'd had 3 highly stressful years and was left feeling awful with anxiety, ear fullness

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

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

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

Assistance with Potential misdiagnosis.
Hi All, I was unsure where to turn and you guys are my last hope! In July 2020 I was diagnosed with MS ( Multiple Sclerosis ) due to having some numbness and tingling in legs and foot and cognitive problems ( forgetful and thinking issues ) and extreme fatigue. I then had an MRI which revealed lesions

IFab or MMA
Hello I am trying to investigate low active b12 results (at the low end of the reference range). Am I better to organise a private iFab test or an MMA test? Medichecks suggested MMA but is iFab better? My mum didn’t get diagnosed with PA with low intrinsic factor until she was very severely disabled

Questions re B12 injections and long term use of prescribed folic acid
Have been advised by members in the thyroid community to ask this question of yourselves. I have been fighting for years with GP's re my Hashimoto's and my pernicious anaemia. I have been taking 5mg folic acid and have done for many years along with 3 monthly B12 injections. I continually ask for at

Is Inflammatory Arthritis RA?
Stupid question, been diagnosed for six years since 20 but it’s always been written as: Seronegative inflammatory arthritis. It was once written as RA and once as Oligoarthritis. Is there any difference. I am negative rheumatoid factor, anti-CCP and HLA B27. Three years ago my DSA28 score equates to
