Antibodies
Hi, I am going to get trialed on a course of b12 injections to see If helps my deficiency symptoms. Also awaiting blood tests for gastric cell and intrinsic factor. If these come back negative what does this mean? B12 supplements don't seem to do much at mo even tho active b12 is low and I'm Worried

Recently diagnosed with B12 Deficiency
Hi! I was recently diagnosed with B12 deficiency, having been told I had "severely low" B12. Apparently my amount was 78! I am only 26 years old so a little surprised. I originally went to the doctors because I experience anxiety like symptoms...racing heart, dizziness, sense of dread, and more specifically

First Appointment
Well I had my first appointment yesterday and it wasnt what i thought. I arrived on time but the nurse told me that the doctor had not yet arrived. After 45 minutes the nurse went to see the main consultant and was told that my original doctor was not supposed to be seeing patients as he was training

Heart problems
hello, i finally received my blood results. They only tested for TSH level it is 1.82mU/L Not sure what this means. I have also been tested for other auto immune problems and they all came back negative. I am surprised though that my intrinsic factor antibodies are negative as 5 years or so ago they

Negative rheumatoid factor and 'clear' MRI scan
Good morning all. After several weeks of very painful joints (neck, shoulders, thighs, knees, etc), I went to my GP. He suspected RD and did bloods. They came back with a negative rheumatoid factor but did show high levels of inflammation. I was then refered to a rheumatoid specialist and an MRI scan
