B12 deficiency, macrocytosis, and potassium drop
I have macrocytic anemia. My MCV for the past 7 years has hovered around 100. I had one good result of 93 and that was 3 months after getting loading shots of Cyanocobalamin when I was first diagnosed with B12 deficiency over a year ago. My doctor stopped my shots after that and I took only sublingual

frustrating!!
so I posted my sons blood results being concerned over his very low active b12 and having to wait weeks for an appointment with Gp. Finally seen Gp who question the private bloods and ordered her own. She tested for pernicious anaemia apparently. Other blood results have returned and are Ferritin

Teenager with B12 Deficiency - Help
Hi In 2021 my 15 yr old daughter had symptoms of B12 deficiency (sleeping too much, poor appetite, exhausted in sport, depressed, moody) so I had her blood tested privately via online company and the Active B12 results were low normal (against adult ref ranges) so we had the recommended MMA which was

Adrenal problems
I'd like someone to advise on some results I received last week. I have just had an adrenal "crash" so to speak and my previous post was about my thyroid meds. I'd like to know where in range ferritin and iron should be.Ferritin 113ug/L (11-307) Haemoglobin estimation 128g/L (115-165) Hematocrit 38.8%

Pernicious Anaemia
Hi all, following conversation on here I asked my doctor for a blood test to check for Pernicious Anaemia. These are the results. They all look good. Could someone please point out which ones the pernicious anaemia tests are? TIA 😊. Results in comments as I can’t figure out how to attach multiple

Reducing Besremi dosing
Hi Community, I shared prior that I upped my Besremi dose from 150 to 180 the past two months. All was going well with several benefits which hadn't happened the past 18 months on Besremi: My JAK2 Allele dropped more than 20%, I have not needed a PB for months which means I now have normal iron

Tocilizumab
I have had a BCC removed from the side of my nose. One of my rheumatology nurses told me that there is an incidence of Tocilizumab causing cancerous growths. It did pop up out of nowhere and I was shocked when the dermatologist told me that it was a slow growing cancer. Has anyone heard of this link?

Advice on iron status
Hi lovely people, I was hoping to get some advice on my iron status. A bit of background, I have just recently increased levo to 88mcg a couple of weeks ago, and was on 75mcg before that. So, I am aware that my thyroid hormone is still too low. It's a slow process getting docs to increase! My question

Iron levels
Had an awesome break through with a locum GP who checked my iron levels, found them to be low and gave me Ferrous Sulphate. It’s worked wonders. Yay! However, three months in and my normal GP has asked me to go for another blood test to check my iron levels now and won’t give me further ferrous sulphate

Vitamin B12 status in health and disease: a critical review. Diagnosis of deficiency and insufficiency – clinical and laboratory pitfalls
This is an extraordinary thorough review of B12 deficiency and B12 insufficiency, with an actual description of the difference, including severity of symptoms. One interesting factoid is quoted here: "In 1900, Russell noted characteristics of B12 deficiency that are overlooked with surprising frequency

blood test-nutrients advice
Hi everyone! First of all, I have to say thank you. This is my first time posting, but I've been lurking around here for a while now and I have already learnt so much from this forum! I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in Nov 2021 and put on 25mcg levothyroxine. It has been a slow battle to get doctors

It's not the adrenals it’s AF!
I kept thinking it was because of my tapering: I was short of breath, felt “chesty” and dizzy. The monitor I wore showed <1% incidence of AF but still at risk for stroke- so Eliquis for me. Scheduled for a visit to the electrophysiology lab for assessment. I believe it’s getting more frequent. Stopped

b12 injections done but don’t feel better
hi I’ve recently been diagnosed with b12 deficiency, no idea why my if was fine apparently and no sign of coeliac. Dr doesn’t seem to want to look into it any further which is annoying. But I’m finished with my initial injections almost two weeks ago and I don’t feel any better. Is this normal?

Can anyone help with iron panel interpretation please
This is a friend’s recent iron panel Posted a couple of days ago but hoping for a better response this time I’ve looked on rT3 adrenals where it says a low transferrin level indicates a lack of capacity for supplemental iron. I really don’t understand this when it’s clear her whole panel is low,
