Hashimoto's and Anaemia - anyone tried IV iron infusion?
Hi all, Recently had full blood tests done as advised on this board :) and T4 and T3 were both high end of normal range, so "optimal", and the only flag was that my iron was low - ferritin of 21 when GP feels 125-150 would be ideal. I'm so exhausted all the time and devastated about how limited I am

Help with B12 and PA diagnosis? In UK
Hi I am trying to figure out if I have a b12 problem still despite the 12 weekly b12 injections I get at the Gp surgery in the UK. My original intrinsic factor around 4 years ago was negative however does this mean I don’t have PA? My b12 levels before injections were quite low hence why Gp started me

Mystery bloods
Hi I've had problems with my bloods for ages. Probably 5 years now. I've had 3 blood transfusions also a Iron infusion plus B12 injections and still feel rubbish. Dr's can't seem to get to the bottom of my problem. I'm front line Ambulance crew so I'm tired anyway. I've had cameras in both ends to no

This might be of interest for anyone who struggles to raise their iron levels or is frequently anaemic or nearly anaemic
I should point out that this paper is old. It was first published in 2000. The second thing I want to point out is that it has 176 references, which to my mind is quite bizarre, but some of them could be of interest. And thirdly, the link is to the abstract only but there is an option to "Save PDF

Ferritin level information
I have seen numerous claims of “check your ferritin level, if it’s <100 you need to start taking iron.” Unfortunately, it’s just not that simple. That guideline has not been established. I have confirmed this with my RLS physicians. He said ferritin level is only 1 component used along with transferrin

Conflict between urine microalbumin and creatinine levels
I am a 52 yrs old man, an engineer from Sudan. I am on Crestor 10mg since 2007 with controlled lipid profile except HDL around 40mg/dl, also on Telmisartan 40mg since 2010 which reduced urine microalbumin from 50 to 26 mcg/l. I am a neither diabetic nor hypertensive. Recently my PB dropped down to 60

Diagnosis update - PV - in limbo
Hi So had my appointment with yet another different haematologist today following my BMB. Still no further forward. Apparently bone marrow aspirate was non cellular so nothing to show from that. Spongy marrow shown an small abnormality but haem consultants think its no conclusive. They have said they

Adalimumab effect only lasting 10 days
I am on fortnightly injections and find day 1 to 11 I am quite pain free and not fatigued, but then it wears off. Does anyone else experience this?

B12 Patches
The forum has been a true blessing! More information than my GP! My question: Has anyone tried B12 Patches, instead of B12, injections with any success? I am currently injecting B12, 2-3X week, 1ML, subcutaneous., been injecting since Nov. 2021, my GP, is not very knowledgeable about PERNICIOUS

Finally got results
Got letter from GP with results. He says T3 is slightly below the normal range but if I am feeling well this is the level he would be reasonably happy with. Alkaline phosphatase is very slightly raised as is haemoglobin both to be tested again in 3 months. Still waiting the results of the vitamin D test

Latest #s - Is my B12 sublingual 1000mcg daily working?
Hello, My Friends (who are most likely asleep as I write this from Ohio). On June 14th I had updated blood tests done that I specifically requested based on suggestions made on this forum so we could see if maybe my B12 treatment is getting into my cells. My B12 blood serum is close to 1000, but we

Neutropenia and its effects.....
I was diagnosed with lupus by my rheumatologist in 2020. Since 2016 I have had low iron levels on numerous occasions, which was initially treated with oral iron with little effect. I was eventually given an iron infusion in May 2021. This brought my iron levels up for some time, but in April this

Increased PA Symptoms and Iron Deficiency
I have no idea if what I'm experiencing is just a flare or could be possible related to my iron deficiency issues, but I figured I'd post on here to see if anyone else has had a similar experience. I was diagnosed with both PA and Iron Deficiency without Anemia at the same time. I have been doing

Betaine HCl (hydrochloric acid) for autoimmune atrophic gastritis low acid pain (have PA as well)
Happy Sunday to you... I was wondering if any of you use or have used Betaine HCl (with pepsin) for low acid stomach pain and discomfort. I have tried all the acid reducers per gastro doc which didn't work well or not at all for me, and my stomach continued to get worse. While researching I learned
