Help Needed! Have I got Pernicious Anaemia?
I hope this isn't too long and/or too boring. I suspect I have PA but as with a lot of people here, no-one seems to take B12 deficiency seriously. I also have hypothyroidism so as my symptoms got increasingly worse over the past few years, I blamed my thyroid - the two conditions have many symptoms

advice please
I posted before my trial off B12 and now I’m posting recent bloods and diary of symptoms. I hope that someone can look over them to help me. I fear that they aren’t going to reinstate my b12 injections. hope it all makes sense History Diverticulitis diagnosed 2018 Hashimoto’s diagnosed 2019

A Method To Increase Ferritin Level
Hi, just sharing this info if it's any help for anyone. I've always struggled to increase my ferritin levels over the years. It tends to stay down at 20-40 ug/L. Supplementing iron and eating iron rich foods will elevate it a bit more for me but what has worked the best is iron as a transdermal patch

Ferritin success, anyone wishing to try the same ... especially if vegan
After years with ferritin scraping along bottom of the range it has at last risen, to nearly double and I thought others might like to know to see if the same works for you too. There are two things I have done (after prescribed ferrous fumarate did not resolve the problem), 1) I regularly take

lower back pain
hi all, I have experienced lower back pain / sciatica for the last 12 months. I was diagnosed with PA 14 years ago after investigation into my dropping Ferritin levels. I have B12 injections every 12 weeks and have been fine in the interim.. However I have not had any blood tests until last week and

Ferritin Questions
Hi everyone. I self inject b12, 3x per week. I also take a daily dose of methylfolate. In the past both of these have been extremely low, along with very low ferritin. Of late I have wondered if my iron was dropping, so requested bloods a couple of weeks ago. Folate happily is pretty good at 19( at

oxycodone
I have had a complete hip replacement operation on 1st July. Since the my RLS has gone mad my foot twisting like a crazy windmill. I was given a ferritin infusion but it is still mad. I see Oxycodone may be causing this is there any alternative? I am on 5mg prolonged release twice a day and supplemented

Iron deficiency
After blood tests showed low ferritin and other values indicating iron deficient anaemia, the NHS did a fairly thorough job over 6 months with various tests and procedures to eliminate internal bleeds as a cause ( anticoagulant doesn't help!).

Inflammation and RLS
I have always believed that inflammation was part of my RLS. I believe this because my RLS responds well to ibuprofen. A recent blog was using this study http://www.smj.org.sg/sites/default/files/SMJ-57-514.pdf The study is from 2016. The study proposes to use the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio

, this time he listened and ran a genetic
test
which is positive and suggests testing first degree relatives...

the curse of lifelong RLS…
I eventually had the blood
test
,
ferritin
was low at 19 ng/ml and, refusing an iron transfusion, he prescribed a course of oral iron which I took for many years. At my request when I was 54 a kinder GP referred me to the neurology department at Kings College hospital London.
