Rheumatoid factor?
Hi I've been having pain and stiffness in my hands for about a month now. Particularly at night. General feeling of unwell, aching etc. Went to the doctor and they took bloods. It came back with abnormal rheumatoid factor. Number was 28. I have no idea what this means, but I really feel unwell.

Will taking B12 supplements influence Pernicious Anaemia blood tests?
Hi there, I recently had a blood test done which came back with the following result:
VITAMIN B12: 186 pmol/L 140.00 - 724.00
Which a number of people have suggested to me is low. I just wanted to know that if I take B12 supplements is it likely to influence blood tests for Intrinsic Factor

Hello all, Finally got my blood test results a few days ago 14/3/17 , high rheumatoid factor to go along with pain in my fingers and balls of my feet. Doctor prescribed Naproxen & Lansoprazale which are keeping me active. I know a bit about this disease, as my 82 year old mother has been suffering

After calming down from my doctors appointment on monday. I have realised that my doctor isnt going to do the intrinsic factor test he has asked for anti gastric parietal cell antibodies. Should i be pushing for the intrinsic factor test?

It might sound silly but ...
Hi lovely people, I have a question please. If your intrinsic factor is not working and you have PA would it not still show up on tests even if you are having b12 injections? I know it skews the results I just wondered if it was possible to test positive at all. Just had a haemotologist apt and test

Help with bloods and symptoms
My husband has been feeling unwell for several years. Severe fatigue has been the main symptom, along with bad headaches. 18 months ago he started to suffer from tingling in his hands, plus numbness. In time this progressed on to his feet and up his legs and he now has some pain in his heels when walking

My memory is shot and I'm SO confused AND tired
Hi I'm new to this site but have had under-active thyroid for 18 years. I'm afraid this may be a lengthy post! I also have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and in last 2 years have been diagnosed with B12 deficiency and pernicious anaemia... I also have gastro intrinsic factor (GIF) which means I cannot

Some good news!
Hey everyone, I just wanted to give an update as I had a call from the doctors this morning and after many months (this time around anyway, overall, more like years!), they have agreed to move me on to injections every 2 months, rather than just every 3 - I want to do a little happy dance! Basically
