Iron Deficiency
I was just wondering if there is any connection between RA or similar diseases and iron deficiency anaemia. I have my first appointment with my Rheumy on Monday, my GP suspecting I may have RA or something similar. When he did a blood test 2 months ago he said my red blood cell count was slightly

Iron Deficiency Symptoms
These can be common in newbie Coeliacs (2 yrs CD (and women for obvious reasons). Don't just put up with feeling crappy. Often friends and family will get used to you feeling unwell. Write down your energy levels at different times and compare them with other people you know in similar circumstances

Blood tests
Hi I wonder whether anyone can explain to me which blood tests I would need to have that would indicate being low in vitamins etc. I decided to ask the receptionist at our doctors to print out my last full blood count results but at first glance they might as well have been in a foreign language

Does anyone have Iron deficiency anaemia and had to have iron infusions ?
Hi, I have had iron deficiency anaemia for sometime. I have taken iron supplements in the past but, I haven't been able to tolerate them very well. I have been investigated by the gastro team for any bleeding and there is'nt a focus for the anaemia. I have tried to improve my iron intake with my diet

Vitamin D deficiency
There have been several articles in the last few days mentioning the concerns of increasing numbers of people especially children that are feared will present with vitamin D deficiency in the coming months. People get the majority of their vitamin D through sunlight which converts the cholesterol found

How soon should you feel results?
I have been having B12 shots every other day for the last 2 weeks, &amp; also liquid iron, when would you normally feel a positive change?<br />I have not been diagnosed with PA, just severely iron & B12 deficient.<br />Due to the same, I had to have a blood transfusion a year ago, and
