Hi, all. I recently went through a severe sickness that lasted 4 weeks. It was really hard on my body. I got blood tests done every week. I usually do 2 injections of b12 per week for past 6 months. During my sickness I only did 2 out 8 shots. My last 2 blood tests showed megloblastic anemia. Could

intrinsic factor test
My GP agreed to do an intrinsic factor antibody test. The test he did was IgA and the results came back as within normal range.1.10gl normal range 0.8 to 4.0 . Was this the correct test for pernicious anemia? Thank you

JFK - Kennedy and B12
Given the current coverage of the anniversary of the death of President Kennedy, it seems not unreasonable to post about his health issues - specifically the possibility of Pernicious Anaemia. This is a paragraph from near the end of the article. Not intended as anything other than an interesting footnote

Iron and ferritin advice requested
I have recently had a full set of iron and ferritin blood tests completed and would like some advice on the numbers, please (prior to these tests, only my ferritin levels have been tested). They result from early morning fasting with no iron supplements for one week. My serum ferritin was 160 µg/L.

Blood results help please
After my recent GP visit and waiting for several months, I finally have my blood results. It wasn't an easy one though. After a terrible GP apt where I was constantly interrupted and made feel like I'm wasting her time, where she has told me that all hypothyroidism is Hashimotos and refusing to check

Ferritin
I know that Ferritin is stored iron but I’m a bit confused about how Ferritin and iron correlate. Is it possible to have Ferritin in range but low iron - and what would be considered optimal Ferritin? My level has just been tested and has gone down from a stable 88 to 34 I’m sorry to be so dumb

Restless legs and iron anaemia
Pronounced iron anaemia, but no possibility of iron infusion in Denmark. So I'm now taking iron tablets, but I'm not sure how much iron I should take? My doctor knows less about restless legs, about augmentation and how much iron in iron anaemia than I do!Will it be enough to take Amino Iron Ferrocel

Starting B12 injections, how often?
Hello everybody, I will be receiving my first B12 injection next week. My blood test results were as follows folate 3.4ug/L, ferritin 19.9ug/L and B12 218ug/L before any medication. I started on iron and folate tablets a week ago. What I'm wondering is how often should I be getting the B12 injection

Hubby Update - B12D Lanzoprazole
Hi Guys Thank you all in advance. Update on hubby. To remind you of his background, two stents in 2018. He has heart disease due to genetics not lifestyle. He doesn’t drink excessively or smoke, has a bit more tum than in his youth but still does a physical job as a builder. He’s been on a low

Clonidine - success with RLS anyone?
Evening team I have a query. As some of you may remember I was prescribed Buprenorphine two years ago by a neurologist for my restless limbs. I have a feeling I may have asked this question before, maybe not in one of my posts, (can't remember!) Does anyone out there take Clonidine for RLS? if

Monitor My Health iron test - lack of ranges
I spent a bit more money on my MMH test this year as I’ve never had an iron panel done but have always had low iron indicators on a full blood test. I didn’t get complete results as ferritin failed (posting the kit back took 48 hours when it was tracked to take 24) but the results I did get, I can’

TSAT low, ferretin high
Dear fellow sufferers in RLS hell. My sleep medicine doctor suggested an iron infusion because my TSAT is 28,87% while my ferretin is 145,40ng/ml. I was taking iron supplement for 6 months before the test. I am not very knowledgeable about the difference between TSAT and ferritin. How high are

iron and b12 test results
How am I doing with iron and b12? i posted before about my thyroid results and have reduced my Levo a tiny amount pending testing again in a few weeks time I now have the rest of my results (minus ferritin and folate ) from MMH. I can see that my iron and b12 are not dire but neither are they optimal

FINALLY found a scientific study that supports my theory about Brain Iron and Serum Iron. Finally!!!
First, the relevant quote from the article: “The serum iron concentration was significantly higher in the RLS group than in the control group, but remained within normal ranges in both groups. In this study, there was a significant correlation between serum and CSF iron concentrations, both in the RLS
