Which blood work and/or criteria was used to diagnose your PBC?
I'm 49, female and my gastroengerologist has quickly made the PBC diagnosis based on positive AMA (84.4 units , pos = >24.9), elevated AST (44, scale of 0-40), ALT (38, scale of 0-32), and high IGM 730 (scale of 40-230). My ALB and BIL are within acceptable range and three separate tests have also shown

Am I being paranoid?
Saw endo, had blood results. Her comments to GP were TSH fine at 0.45, BP fine, need synacthen for adrenals, B12 very low -- please do intrinsic factor test. Just went into the surgery for bloods GP had requested, some of which I knew overlapped with what endo had requested. Said to nurse, all I appear

B12 level and effect on thyroid.
My B12 measurement came back at 148ng/l which the endo notes is low. She's told GP to measure intrinsic factor antibodies as regards pernicious anaemia. Can someone tell me what this means in actuality -- ie, what it means to show a very low B12 measurement and what the physical effects might be? Thanks

Triggers for joint pain
I suppose I'm lucky in that I do not have constant joint pain and rarely need to take pain killers. I've passed the TSH test and now take 25mcg Levo. I was far more ill when borderline, 20 years ago, or maybe just got used to it. I do, definitely notice that an aching throat and joint pain go together.Flu

A long explanation but hopefully a shorter answer
From a previous blog I wrote what happened when I went to see the doctor with my Blue Horizon tests and they explained they couldn’t treat me on their results so I had to have their blood tests. I rang two weeks later and was told they were all in so went to see the locum doctor about the results

Hi all I was diagnosed with low B12 last Aug. A reading of 109 followed by 113. My GP (who I am realising is worse than useless due to issues I am having regarding thyroid diagnosis problems, but thats a different board!!) advised I didnt have PA as my Intrinsic factor was negative and that I did

Recovery is possible assuming you know what's really wrong - Part 6a -The Gut
Hello All - apologies for delay in this one - traveling. Soooo...the gut - a massive topic - a massive organ. First off - and not to scare you - a quote - "death begins in the gut" Nobel prize winner Elie Metchnikoff (and I'm pretty sure a Greek whose name I've forgotten)

Thank You All
Just want to say thank you to everyone who was so kind and concerned when I had my "bloody" situation. I went to the haematologist this aft to get things checked and be blood sucked by the vampires for clotting studies. Hey ho, was just about to leave the house, went to move something and didn't think

15 yr old daughter is B12 deficient - what should I be asking our GP to do?
Hi everyone, my daughter had a series of blood tests recently as she was getting unexplained pains in her thighs. Her B12 came back as 169 so they did a repeat and it came back at 150 two weeks later. Whilst speaking to the GP (about another matter) I looked on his screen and saw that her MCV was 83

B12 deficiency - Low stomach acid, parietal cells, instrinic factor light bulb moment.
I have just been doing some reading after GP said intrinsic factor and parietal cell antibodies could be tested for. I am so angry no one suggested this before as I've had all of the damned symptoms of B12 deficiency for years....anyway ... This explains why auto immune suffers can't get their B12

SIDE EFFECTS OF VITAMIN B12 INJECTIONS
In the month since I joined this website, I noticed many reports of side effects by those receiving injections. I purchased a vial of 1,000 mcgs of B12 with the doctor's prescription, that remains unused. I was not aware that cianocobalamin is not the only form of injectable B12So I have used sublingual
