haemoglobin values.
hello good souls. I have had PA for 40 years. My haemoglobin level is always around 103 and ferrous normal. it is always considered to be expected in view of my B12 deficiency. Therefore acceptable. Do others have this problem. I feel it causes me tiredness and lack of energy.

Elevated red blood cell count
Morning all I've had a couple of blood tests since Xmas and both show a slightly elevated red blood cell count. I don't smoke and the GP seemed concerned but hasn't offered any ideas. Now I wonder if its thyroid related and if when I'm properly medicated that might reduce? Also see elevated hemoglobin

Ferritin Questions
Hi everyone. I self inject b12, 3x per week. I also take a daily dose of methylfolate. In the past both of these have been extremely low, along with very low ferritin. Of late I have wondered if my iron was dropping, so requested bloods a couple of weeks ago. Folate happily is pretty good at 19( at

Low B12 but Negative Parietal Cell Autoantibodies

Advice moving forward?
So I recently had blood tests that showed low b12, iron and vit D. Was prescribed tablets for the iron and vit D. And put on a course of B12 loading doses. 6 injections over 2 weeks. it's now been 2 weeks after the last b12 injection and none of my symptoms have improved. When I talked to the gp,

B12 deficiency v. Ferritin deficiency
Hi everyone. Some of you may have come across one of my posts this week and may have interacted, but if not, hi 😊 I’ve been going through a lot of the posts on here looking for answers to my query before I post this, but haven’t seen anything that covers it. Is there anybody here that has suffered

Inflammation and RLS
I have always believed that inflammation was part of my RLS. I believe this because my RLS responds well to ibuprofen. A recent blog was using this study http://www.smj.org.sg/sites/default/files/SMJ-57-514.pdf The study is from 2016. The study proposes to use the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio

How do you know if your intrinsic factor antibody blood test is good or bad?

Oral B12
So i am fully aware that those of us with PA don't absorb b12 through our diets, and that we ideally require treatment through IM injections. But i have also seen articles that suggest that it is at least 'possible' to get 'some' b12 from oral supplements. What do we think about this? I have copied in

GP requests blood tests after injections
My daughter has asked her GP for B12 injections (I won't always be around to do them) she has been called in for a blood test, however stating NICE guidelines didn't help. She has previously been misdiagnosed with MS and even her neurologist wrote in a letter last summer that nothing abnormal was found

Hydroxocobalamin injections
hi, I’m in Washington, USA, and I can’t get my prescription of Hydroxocobalamin injections anywhere. I was diagnosed with pernicious anaemia in 1992 (inherited it through maternal line). Does anyone know where I can order it from? I am highly allergic to Cyanocobalamin.

not PA, next steps
Hi all. I am now SI EOD and have had my iron infusion which is great. I’ve had my autoimmune blood tests back which show I don’t have an autoimmune disease or Pernicious Anaemia (results attached). I’ve been advised that means I have a gut issue which is blocking absorption, I’m keen to get this looked

need advice
Hello, Having B12 defiency my GP has been prescribing me oral B12 which got my levels to normal but hasn’t changed my symptoms. She then prescribed blood tests for parietal cell antibodies and intrinsic factor antibodies. Both were negative. She says therefore I only need B12 orally and not injections

I’m posting this in hopes it may help other MPN sufferers. In early December, 2023, I saw my longstanding oncologist of 20 years. My labs showed 7.2 hemoglobin I was weak and tired. He sent me to a hematologist at Emory Hospital in Atlanta. The new doctor tested me for my EPO level. Mine barely registered
