Blood tests
Morning all! I’m getting some blood tests tomorrow.. intrinsic factor IF (low B12 & folate) FBC and celiac? Questioning forPA? I have got my own B12 ampoules! Do I start my B12 complex at the same time as I start injecting? My folate is awful 3.8ug/L (<2.9) I have been taking my B12 complex sporadically

positive then negative intrinsic factor
hi guys, I had a positive intrinsic factor blood test back in April and this was before any b-12 injections. Since then, the doctors have wanted to do two other intrinsic factor blood tests and both came back negative and the doctors are confused why is this? Thanks, Ella (:

Blood Test Results
Would someone please be able to tell me what these blood test results mean please? I did add them on to a previous thread but I don't think they were showing up. I was told by my GP back in July that my TSH levels were low . I admitted that I did sometimes forget to take Levo so she wanted me to go

Finally
Morning I actually got to see my GP last night! Thankfully she listened ( borderline B12 and very low folate) this is after speaking to two other Gps in the surgery who didn’t believe me ☹️ Anyway she suggest Pernicious Anemia! Woohoo! So have some blood tests to follow ❤️

Help For Pernicious Anaemia Injections Effect
I was diagnosed with Pernicious Anemia, B12 Deficiency and vitamin D Deficiency. I started B12 Injections in October 2/3 a week until a full course of ten injections were given now I'm down to one every three months. My doctor allowed me an injection between the now every three months dosages as I feel

Fatigue
Good Day Everyone My question is, should I be feeling fatigued with lymphocytes around 43 and haemoglobin at 12.1 g/dl or could the fatigue be caused by some other blood deficiency such as iron or vitamin B12. Thanks very much Ken

Update B12 appointment . help needed
Thank you all for your advice . Had an appointment yesterday and despite feeling exhausted dizzy and having some pins and needles in my hand. (NHS website says 2_3months with malabsorption issues.) . I was told they cannot go against local NHS guidance and got to wait for 12 weeks for my B12 jab. I

All symptoms back
Hi, Symptoms are now back with avengence. My breathing and headaches are terrible. I have moved my Endo forward to next week and having new bloods this morning. Any suggestions of issues for my consultant? I am going to ask to raise to at least 100 of meds - obviously depending on my bloods. Heart issues

B12 Deficiency or Underactive Thyroid at Play?
Recently, my FBC came back with:
Mean cell haemoglobin level 32.7 pg [27.0 - 32.0]; Above high reference limit
Only just above the range. Am I right in thinking this confirms anemia? I have been supplementing with B complex, so my blood serum tests show they are quite healthy (upper quarter

Time for you all to take another bow.
I have been working with someone for three years who is suffering and may be suffering from B12 deficiency. I do not give advice and certainly not medical advice. I have been sharing my experiences and information that I have. That is hard as the person is smart enough but does not have great reading

Ongoing anemia
Hello, I am thinking if my wife has ongoing anemia due to a bleed the Drs can't or won't find. Why wait for four months to give her red blood cells when she last had RBC transfusion 4 months ago it brought her Hgb up to 115, then three months ago had iron infusion. Which didn't really increase her Hgb

? RSV vaccine
Hi folks, I seem to remember a mention of the RSV shot not being great for CLL pts? Anyone have info or thoughts on this? And another question: I got my latest Covid booster a few weeks ago. During the injection (by a pharmacist) I noted I didn’t feel the med going into my muscle, and looked down quickly

Sourcing Hydroxocobalamin, help please
Edit: Solved this issue. Thanks. Supplies now on order :) I've been self-injecting for a few years now, as GP refuses to diagnose B12 deficiency, in spite of several indications. I now need to buy more hydroxocobalamin but haven't kept a note of where I've previously bought from, in Germany.

Buprenorphine and Naloxone 2mg/0.5 mg sublingual film
I need help from the members who have taken it or the brand name Suboxone. The oxycodone I have been taking since 2015 has lost effect therefore Doctor B prescribed Buprenorphine and Naloxone for me. The first day I experienced horrendous side effects, severe vertigo, nausea and vomting and anxiety

Question about mood
does anyone else get depression like symptoms, anxiety like symptoms and just an overall flat affect as you wait the month out for your next injection? I was self injecting in between but the needle jabs are starting to really hurt now so I stopped.

Methylmalonic Acid Test
Can anyone tell me whether the MMA test can be obtained through the NHS? I saw a GP yesterday (I am still dizzy following falling backwards again a week ago) I am going for my blood test on Thursday to see if my folate level has improved after taking a folate /B12 supplement for 4 months on instruction
