Am I just just b12 deficient or PA? So confused what to do next :(
Can anyone help me please, I am so confused as what to do next.... Over the years I have had periods of numbness, pins and needles in my hands and feet, tiredness, mind fog etc which drs tests usually brought down to iron/folate deficiency. However this time was the worst it's been. In march I started

can you have a normal vit b 12 reading when the intrinsic factor is compromised?
worried sick about my sister, 7 weeks off work now due to 'severe anaemia', iron tablets have improved the FBC reading, symptoms are complicated occurring every second day, lethargic, low energy, dizzy, palpitations, sore joints, waking from sleep with heart racing and head spinning, and change of pallor

Look what the cat dragged in
Photo was taken this morning when I got up - guess it was Sephie as she seems to bring just about everything in - have a plastic snake in the hall that she brought in from somewhere and the grip from a bicycle handlebar in the conservatory - though today's trick was ripping holes in bags - there is compost

How to spot rheumatic nodules?
I have two non painful bumps on the back of my hand and bigger lump on my foot and toe but wonder if they are nodules, and wether it's a problem to have them anyway. I also don't understand the blood tests for inflammation, because mine are always normal but I have bad swelling and a lot of pain. I have

Thanks to all of you who pointed out an error in my Active B12 test done at Blue Horizon. Now have confirmation it WAS an error.

I have Graves, and since January, I have been experiencing symptoms similar to Pernicious Anemia, with a red, swollen tongue on 2 separate occasions, and a strange feeling of pins and needles in one of my thumbs, which is now

6 years ago I came down with a mystery illness. So far no doctors had been able to give me a diagnosis, could it be thyroid? More details..
I was just wondering whether if I posted a fairly detailed history of my case, symptoms and test results would you be able to offer any ideas about whether it might be thyroid or thyroid related? Or just any ideas at all really? (I was recommended to put this on here from someone within a Lupus group

Can you change tnf drugs?
I've been on humira for ten months, the first 3-4 months I felt much better. I don't feel it's effective now. I'm also on 15mg methotrexate /6 salfazalazine/2 naproxen per day!! My meds have not been reduced as promised. I've asked my rheumatologist today whether I can change from humira to another
