Let down by Dr's and "Specialists" in NHS - Where to now ?
I have tried to keep this as brief as possible, however please bear with me as I feel let down by the NHS and I’m at the end of the road. My Grandfather and Father were both diagnosed with Pernicious Anaemia and my father received monthly injections of B12 for life. I’m a 45 year old male with the

b12 and hashimotos
hello everyone my b12 was tested in the summer and it came back as 113 so I had loading injections my parietal cell and intrinsic factor antibodies were negative. could it be that my thyroid is the culprit for the low b12 as I have hashimotos and I have just read that this can make your b12 low.

PA and chemotheropy
Dear all, I was diagnosed with PA (+Intrinsic Factor) 2 years ago. I am wondering if any of you have also been diagnosed with cancer and gone through chemotherapy? I would appreciate to hear of any experience with the treatment and possible imbalance with your levels, if also diagnosed with PA (also

Latest blood test results - would love some insight
I'm a 39 year old woman who was diagnosed with Hashimoto's and Pernicious Anaemia in May 2015. However the thyroid results did not yet show hypo, but actually that I was slightly hyper. My symptoms were anxiety/depression/fatigue. And not getting pregnant. (Worth noting that I wasn't trying to get

Worried
Hello, i'm a 21 year old male, and recently i've engaged in a lot of unprotected sexual activity. After one VERY intense session, my anus felt very raw, this was during a time I had extreme diarrhoea (Do I deserve some applause for keeping it in? ). After the 'trip', I only ate fast food (beef burgers

Falsely high B12 levels with IF antibodies
Thought this paper was interesting - shows how hugely different serum B12 results can be just depending on the method used for the test and that having intrinsic factor antibodies can lead to an incorrect B12 level. http://www.bmj.com/rapid-response/2011/10/31/further-cases-false-normal-b12-assays-intrinsic-factor-antibody-interferen

Hi. This is a post for both the thyroid and PA forum. I'd love a bit of advice and thoughts on my blood tests and history. A bit of background: I'm a 38 year old woman. In May this year I was diagnosed with hashimoto's in the presence of high anti-bodies and pernicious Aneamia with a positive test

Big thanks & somewhat confused!!!!!
Firstly a big thank you to all the fellow forum users for helping me last week. I asked about taking MTX, it was making me feel grotty, many of you suggested that I take it in the evening to try to alleviate the side effects. This week I did and I must say although I still had the side effects it was

Prepare for Doctors tomorrow.
Hi all, Thought I would post an update since the last time i posted on here. I have had my B12 results back and they were 127 ng/ml for B12 and 3.4 ng/ml for the Folate? So low on the B12 and I think borderline on the folate. The doctor's made me wait two weeks for what I thought was a second B12

'Normal' levels
Hi all. I'm new to this forum and still awaiting a diagnosis. I have been told I need a patrial thyroidectomy due to nodules and a large recurring cyst. Biopsy on fna was inconclusive. I have been having symptoms for several years, my gp sends me for blood tests. They all come back in normal range. I

B12 testing: I need some answers!

B12 level interpretation
Hi I have just recently posted as Intrinsic Factor-AK antibodies tested a weak positive in a recent blood test. (I am also a registered Coelicac which was discovered when I was a baby.) However, no B12 and Ferritin tests were taken. For the past 2 years I have sporadically experienced water sensations

Test results - borderline lupus?
After a wait of over 2 months since I saw a rheumy and hearing nothing, I made an appointment to see my GP to see if she'd heard anything. Yes, all test results back, but very odd - a lot of borderline ones. She said I had "could have Lupus", it looks like it, but also some connective tissue disorder

My vit B12 deficiency- GP won't investigate further.
I've just been diagnosed with B12 deficiency and I'm having shots for it. I thought my GP would keep investigating the cause, but he told me they don't do that. My test for Pernicious Anaemia came back negative and that's where he's leaving it. I didn't understand his explanation about why, and when
