Do the NHS test for active b12 aswell a total b12?
I wonder because my sister was diagnosed with pernicious anemia years ago but now they say her b12 levels are really high normal.

Cholestyramine
My husband has had explosive diarrhea since mid February. After blood tests, stool samples, colonoscopy, and more stool samples, they are not able to determine what is causing the diarrhea. The doctor has prescribed Cholestyramine. Has anyone had experience with this medication and did it help?

low serum iron. Normal ferritin
been getting very tired lately. ET (MPL) on pegysus 45ug every 2 weeks. Mentioned fatigue to haematologist and he suggested reducing peg further to 3 weekly. Got the above results after we got home. Also raised CRP but I do have a cold . raised neutrophils and wbc. Haem thought this was good as mounting

How fast is brain iron deficiency restored after IV iron?
Hello everyone.In January I got transcranial sonography done and they found brain iron deficiency. I had ferritin at 150, TS at 30% so they gave me 500mg ferric carboxymaltose. We are planning to repeat it. My question is, those who had BID diagnosed, after how many infusions did RLS pain go away? Did

long term omeprazole use
I was taking omeprazole for about 15 years and stopped in December last year, as I had done some research and found out it can affect stomach acid. No one told me to stop taking it. I donāt even know why I was put on it in the first place, up I think it was for IBS. I havenāt had any acid reflux or indigestion
