How do you test for b12 absorption?
How can I test my b12 absorption? I had my b12 tested a few months ago and it looked normal, but I have Hashimoto's and also tingling hands, dizziness, eye twitching, and gut issues -- all of which correlate to low b12. So I'm wondering if I'm maybe just not absorbing it. I've read that this can happen

GP refuses to prescribe Hydroxocobalamin as B12 is within "Therapeutic levels"
Hi Everyone :) I have been diagnosed with Pernicious Anaemia since 2013 and have injections at my GP surgery every 10 weeks. I am due another injection in around 2 weeks time. I had a telephone appointment with a Nurse Practitioner yesterday to get my hydroxocobalamin prescription, who insisted on more

Possible links between ACE inhibitors and coronavirus
Over the past few months, many of you may have seen conflicting news stories about possible links between ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers and Covid-19. Here’s what we know about the evidence so far, and why more research is needed. Hopefully a useful read for anyone with a heart condition

Drugs after heart surgery
How long do people carry on taking beta blockers and ace inhibitors after open heart surgery? I had a aortic valve replacement 3 months ago.

Post-treatment lab results -- interpretation help appreciated!
Hi, everyone! I'm hoping those of you who have more experience appraising lab results can help me here, since I still have two weeks before I can go to the hematologist to have these explained to me. I have iron deficiency anemia (formally diagnosed) and, until recently (?), what I assumed to be pernicious

Tests to prove B12 injection need to my doctor: Schillings, Active B12 MMA (are they the same?)
I’m asking because I’ve convinced her to prescribe injections for once a week, but am always concerned that my extra supply from Germany might run out. I’ve never had the Schilling’s Test or Intrinsic Factor (are they different?) Nor have I had an MMA ( which I would assume would be normal now) My

Anybody had a embryo transfer with a lining measuring 6mm?
Just wondering if there are any ladies on the forum that have had transfers with a lining measuring around 6mm? I’ve been trying to have a frozen transfer for over a year now and have just had my 5th FET attempt cancelled. My clinic wants my lining to be over 7mm but it averages around 6mm (6.4mm is

Anyone had mild cramping before FET
I am on 6mg progynova and suprecur nasal spray 4 times a day, I have started getting mild cramping, i had a scan on Tuesday and they said my lining wasn’t thick enough so I have been trying other natural things to thicken it up like POM juice, Brazil nuts, raspberry leaf tea and I have got castor oil

Blood results
Well, I have finally recieved my blood results (with reference ranges) from the nurse. Intrinsic Factor - negative. Parietal Cell - negative. Serum B12 was way over range 2000 (180-900) as expected due to B12 injections. I was expecting a fight with my GP about withdrawing my B12 injections. Strange

New, scared and need some advice please
Hello, I am new to this forum but not RA. I was diagnosed in 2016 showing positive for the rheumatoid factor in my blood test. I was treated with hydroxychloroquine but not for long. I think it was stopped because my symptoms went away. Anyway 4 years on and I’m really struggling. I developed a hive

Receiving monthly Avastin injections now 5 days past due and I notice a decrease in vision
Being treated for CNV. Somehow, I was given a 5 week follow up form my next injection so instead of receiving my scheduled 4 week injection last week, I will get it this week. My vision was getting better and I was able to read things I couldn't read before. Yesterday my vision wasn't nearly as good

First Rheumy appointment (since PMR diagnosis by GP) totally disappointing! Sorry no question just bringing myself back to reality!
Sooooo.... Long story short after a telehealth visit- according to the rheumatologist I was too young in March 2020 to be diagnosed at 51 years old with PMR. Really! Was I expecting something different? I lived in the hope that maybe my case would have a different outcome to so many others diagnosed

Stage 4 ckd with Congestive Heart Failure
I was in the hospital last month for my CHF. Lungs were filling with fluid and couldn't breathe. I am 47 years old. They checked my kidney function as I also have CKD. My eGFR was at 23 and ejection fraction of the heart at 22% They took me off my Lisinopril because of my kidneys and replaced it with

Reference for not testing once b12 injections started? Threatening to stop injections due to high b12 levels in blood test.
Hiya I have a call booked with the practice nurse who wants to stop my b12 injections as a recent blood test shows levels that are 'too high'. Can anyone point me to NICE guidelines or smilar that state that once b12 injections have commenced, b12 levels should not be checked? I am diagnosed with pernicious

No more injections for 3 months
