Folic Acid does not cause PA
I saw this article with responses about the consumption of folic acid. What do people think about the responses? Especially the one who says that there shouldn't be a limit to the amount of folic acid taken. https://www.bmj.com/content/329/7479/1376/rapid-responses I have been taking 5mg folic acid

Hi I went to my GP in April with this problem. My GP practice give you forms for self booking for Rheumatology at choice of 2 hospitals. Both have no appointments available. I rang and was told 18 to 34 week wait but even then you have to go on a waiting list to get the appointment before that. I booked

Intrinsic factor
I seem to be at a sticking point with the findings of the intrinsic factor test. This is due to the way they now interpret the test results. My test result was Au/ml 1.63 ... Which I jumped with joy over as I thought "at last, this proves I have been telling the truth". How wrong I was. It is no longer

IBS-C - have had this for life and is playing up again now
I remember being taken to hospital at a pre-school age because I had a 'blockage.' After that my mother gave me castor oil, enos, sennapods, that Ex-Lax chocolate that would not fool a 4 year old, prunes. You name it I had it and I can never remember having a bowel movement normally. I could go for

Cure your RLS with castor oil
I have been suffering with RLS for nearly 45 years. I am now 75 and it is getting worse. I used to have several days between RLS attacks. Now I have one every night. I’ve been taking carbidopa/levodopa for 2 years. Helped so much but I believe augmentation is kicking in. Where before I had to

Hi, In May 2021 I had the intrinsic factor blood test and my results were as follows. 89 u/ml. With a normal range of 0-24 u/ml. And the following notes.

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

I have finally managed to get an appointment with my GP where I hope to convince him to give me B12 injections more often that once every 8 weeks and I never had a loading doses so am hoping for that too. I hope I can get him to do some tests, like size shape and number of red blood cells, intrinsic

pernicious anemia
Hi, Can anyone relate to how I am feeling? I was diagnosed back in Feb this year after my Intrinsic Factor blood test came back positive and I was diagnosed with Pernicious anaemia. I went to the drs with symptoms of exhaustion, pins and needles, heart palpitations and nausea as well as brain fog
