Intrinsic Factor (IF) Antibodies testing while on B12
Hello folks - If someone has IF Antibodies and is taking b12 ...would that affect an IF and IF Antibodies blood test..? I dont think it should - as if you have errosive gastritis / malabsorbtion issues etc, you got them...and the B12 wont improve that in any way...? Thanks lovely PA folks

SCT update
I’m now on day +284 & so far seem to be progressing well. I know things may change, but hopefully I’ll continue to progress. I’m managing to walk most days, weather permitting, although I do get tired in the evening. My tablets are now being decreased & my hair is growing back grey & curly - not happy

Is there a difference between Barrett’s tongue and barretts oesophagus ?
I have been trying to research this since my endoscopy showed “possible Barrett’s tongue” Biopsy has been taken to rule this out which I hope is a positive sign , but does anyone have experience of this term? I understand that it is associated with hiatal hernia although my reflux issues aren’t too

Anyone been prescribed T3 by endo in Leeds? I need to advise my son's partner. Please send a pm (chat) to me.
Good morning, can I pick your brains? My son's partner has Hashimoto's and still has symptoms despite normal blood test results and I'm urging her to request a referral to an endocrinologist for a trial of T3. She is new to hypothyroidism and her fT4 and fT3 results indicate she is a poor converter,

Diagnosis?
How do you get rheumatologists to take you seriously? I am almost convinced I have Sjogrens, but after seeing threee rheumys, they say no, because all my blood tests have come up negative. But I still have the dry mouth, which is progressively getting worse, I have salivary issues, dry eyes and body

Cycle #5 tested negative 8dp5dt. Is it over for me?
Tomorrow is mother's day in the UK so I wanted to test today. I'm cooking Sunday lunch for my extended family tomorrow and I just thought either wait until Monday or test today. It ended up being today and it was negative with the second pee of the day. I'm absolutely gutted and trying to hold it together

Down regulation - blood test?
Hi All, I am nearly at the end of the down regulation phase and will have my first scan next Tuesday to confirm if my ovaries have switched off. The reason why I had to go through the down regulation route is that my first IVF, which was a short protocol, failed miserably. I was bleeding and lost all
