I eat as much recommended iron rich foods as I can (but I just can't eat as much of this as I did because I don't have the energy to cook breakfast anymore which is where

success with Threearrows - for anyone struggling with LOW IRON/FERRITIN
After 6 months I am finally seeing some progress with my iron panel! I spent 3 months on 4 ferrous gluconate tablets a day and my ferritin, saturation and iron barely budged. In fact, my serum iron actually decreased. I felt completely miserable with the prospect that I wouldn’t be able to optimise

Suspected B12 deficiency and about to start SI
Hi everyone, I’ve had ID anaemia (microcytic hypochromic) for over 20 years and was told by a GP many years ago that this was due to malabsorption. I’ve had hypothyroidism since 2014, long covid for the past 2 years, and a vax injury from March 2021 that is only just being investigated by rheumatology

worried about high levels
Good morning everyone. It has been a while, and I had asked for blood tests before I went and had some private B12 injections, as my own Doctor had stopped them. My B12 was also low due to malabsorbtion, and PA results were borderline. I am symptomatic and feeling really bad lately. Its over a year

My GP wants me to have blood tests...
During a recent appointment for a colonoscopy my GP has insisted I go in for blood tests. However my procedure and outcome for the colonoscopy were fine, but I am asking for a repeat prescription for my B12 (agreed I self inject at home for the last year). I know I will be told I cannot have a repeat

Yellow-blue blindness: a B12 deficiency symptom ?
I have had problems with deteriorating eyesight in recent years, especially during dark winter evenings. Lately, it seems worse. I can't paint in the winter. If I do, the next day I find that the colours are not as I saw them the night before. When I went for an eye-test, the optician said that

when will I start feeling better?
hi all. Have been injecting daily with methylcobalamin for 2 months as well as taking liquid iron. I’ve heard people say it takes “a while “ to start feeling better, just wondering how long we are talking. I need my daily dizziness to go away or know if it’s not being caused by anemia. Thanks!

CLL Staging
Hello. My husband, Simon, was diagnosed with CLL several years ago and has been closely monitored. On his last visit to his consultant he was told that he needs to start treatment. Either Rituximab or Venetoclax. My husband is always dismissive of his condition and does not want to discuss with me
