B12 deficiency
I was diagnosed with a B12 deficiency. I'm recovering from covid it's been 3 weeks. Not sure if the covid knocked my B12 down. I had first injection today. I woke up out of my sleep my body burning and dry month. I had that feeling first week of covid it went away. Now I'm not sure if the B12 is fighting

Magnesium
Could someone explain to me please, why magnesium supplementation is recommended? I read somewhere that testing for magnesium deficiency is both unreliable and uncommon. So how do we know we need it and if so, how much? Thanks.

Is this classed as low folate?
I'm a little confused about my blood test results. I'm not sure if I am posting in the right group! MCH and MCHC were slightly high which can indicate macrolytic anaemia. GP said I don't have that because my B12 and folate levels are fine (which are the usual causes). However, I posted the results

Thought about Intrinsic factor
Okay, so I've been thinking a lot about this, but if you no longer have intrinsic factor why would your body continue to make antibodies to intrinsic factor. I'm wondering about this as I keep getting tested by doctors for IF antibodies with no success, but I was told 15+ years ago when I was diagnosed

At What Level Is Low B12 Treated?
Hi! I recently had some blood tests and my B12 came back low at 180, normal range 197-771. My folate was 4.7, normal range 3.9-26.8. Full blood count and ferritin fine, I had iron deficiency anaemia and have been successful treated for that and all those levels looking good. My question is, at what

Low Folate
Hello, I was recently told I have low folic acid. I just wondered if anyone has experienced similar symptoms to mine. I have been given 5mg folate for 4 months and told to take over the counter folic acid forever once the course is completed. The main symptom is palpitations and constantly aware of

The results are in, over to the judges.
I am a 59 year old, 74Kg male, with no other comorbidities except mild lifelong well controlled Asthma. The tests on 10/01/2024 where all taken using the guidance given here, of no levy for 24 hours prior and no food/drink ETC before the test. The previous tests may not have been in full compliance

First blood test after starting Peg 17/12/2023
Hi, Blood test from 28/12/2023 Platelets down to 427 (previous 580, 560, 504). Elevated Potassium 5.4 and ALT 96. I guess Peg has elevated ALT?? My next FU is March 14th. I’m really hoping I don’t have to increase Peg which is currently 45 weekly.

What the heck, Thyroid!?
Well, I found myself in this forum by following bread crumbs left by FancyPants54 Thankfully she's a bit messy with her snacks 😊 I've been on Pernicious anemia forum for the past few years dealing with my PA/AMAG. I think I may have been selected by whomever makes such selections to have the benefit

Folic Acid Deficiency

The doc ordered a full fasting blood count which come back with me having low vitamin B12 (175), low vitamin D. (live in Scotland so most people are) and folic acid levels on the low side although

Weaning down off Pregabalin
A medication error occurred when I went to collect my prescription for Pregabelin, and I am not sure that best way to proceed. For the previous three weeks my GP had me on 25mg daily – the low dose is because she said I am very sensitive to medication. As the 25 mg was not controlling my RLS symptoms

What should my optimal vitamin levels be please?
Hi there, I’m trying to get vitamin levels up to hopefully help with poor conversion. Iron was low and I’ve recently retested for that after supplementing for about 3 months. Ferritin is now at 65 ug/L Folate has dropped from >45 a year ago to 8.5ug/L My question is what should they ideally be?
