Positive intrinsic factor result
Hi,I I posted a few weeks ago due to having low b12 and involuntary twitching, Since having the loading doses my moods have improved significantly the twitching still happens each day but not as often but has improved... I have had another blood test to test for ferratin/ folate and for intrinsic factor

Folate & Vitamin B12; SAMe & Methyl.
This is prompted by a post from BBruce: "Stay away from Vitamin B12" I reviewed the folate-PCa literature 2 years ago. B12 is covered in that post. What seemed lacking in the new thread was context, IMO. A number of the B vitamins feed into 'one-carbon metabolism' (a term that is usually found in PCa

Daily b12 dosage?
Hi, I had intrinsic factor antibodies test that was negative, but a lot of b12 deficiency symptoms - Gp treated me with loading doses for 2 weeks. I was wondering what dose I should take on a daily basis? I think My problem is low stomach acid due to hypothyroidism so not pernicious anaemia. I’ve

Intrinsic Factor Positive
Hi All, after I was diagnosed with Hashimotos last year, I thought my quality of life would improve once prescribed 100mcg T4 daily but unfortunately it has not been the case. I have been supplementing with Vitamin D and K which has improved my Vat D results. I am still exhausted, have dry scalp, hair

Blood test & B12 supplementation
Do the MMA, parietal cell antibodies, intrinsic factor antibodies & homocysteine tests need to be tested when the individual is not supplementing with B12? Thank you for the help!

Hyperthyroidism, low B12, raised iron and ALT.
Hi, I had Graves Disease 5 years ago and recovered fairly quickly with carbimazole. My thyroid is over active again so GP has put me back in carbimazole. Low B12 but test for celiacs and intrinsic factor is negative so I'm taking a high dose of B12 tablets and will be retested in 6 months. Does anyone

Can you just recover from a B12 deficiency?
Hi! I’m looking for some advice. A number of years ago, I went to my then GP because I had a number of tiny ulcers all over my tongue (double figures). He ran some blood tests and diagnosed me with a B12 deficiency. He prescribed me with B12 supplements for 6 weeks (cannot remember doseage or frequency

B12 supplementation
Hi I receive b12 injections every 12 weeks and I supplement daily both by tablet and oral spray. As I understand it, b12 is stored in the liver and released into the gall bladder where along with folic acid etc a substance called intrinsic factor is created. I am not sure if this is entirely correct

Advice on Second B12 Test
So I eventually had my intrinsic factor results back last week – negative. Given all the things I’ve read about the IFAB test I wasn’t particularly surprised, but of course it’s set me worrying about not getting the treatment I need i.e. no injections. I went to see my GP this morning, and she’s told

Alternate therapies
Hello everyone. This is my first post. 4 months ago I was diagnosed with wet macular in right eye. The same afternoon I was referred to a retinal specialist by my opthomologist and was given an injection of Avastin. Within 10 min afterwards the pain was excruciating. No sleep that night from pain.

Active B12 test-is it worth paying privately for?
Hiya, I wondered if anybody had paid privately for an active B12 test after a serum B12 fell within normal range-420. I will try to cut a long story short; April 2017- B12 serum 166 - told I was a little bit on the low side (had asked for hormone test due to sudden appearance of acne in late twenties

Yippee
If you have read my previous post, then I will continue here. My B12 on December 13th was 178 and now after a month of sublingual dosing it is up to 452 ! Most of the sharp pains I was feeling in and around my knees has gone, I can now stand from sitting on the floor cross legged without using hands

Anxiously awaiting diagnosis
Hi all, Firstly, apologies for the rambling post, but it really helps to write things down sometimes. I’m new and found my way here through the PAS webpage, as I was researching causes for low B12. I visited my GP in November as I was suffering with some digestive problems and was feeling very tired

Intrinsic Factor
Does anyone know how long the test for IF takes? My GP has said if I don’t have IF I can have injections every 8 weeks instead of the 10 weekly that I’m on. Is that normal? I'm very lucky that I have a supportive GP.

Confused
I had an appointment with rheumatology late December last year because bloods showed rheumatoid factor, waited 3 months for this appointment after over two years suffering lots of flair ups. Was told after consultation and bloods taken for lupus they would see me in three months. I have received a letter
