Anemia of Chronic Disease
My recent CBC yielded numbers that suggested I am anemic. My iron levels are normal and my B12 is also normal, albeit in the low range of normal. I was told that I have anemia of chronic disease caused by my thyroid condition (low functioning thyoid, maybe Hashimoto's). Anyone else have experience

Request for more levothyroxine following results from Medichecks
Hi all, I’m very upset as had a conversation ( more like a shouting match to be honest) with GP who is insistent that he won’t prescribe more levothyroxine as I’m within range ( after him asking me to send a copy of my medichecks results) because on my request I stated that I should be prescribed iron

Low Folate
Hi, back in August I had blood tests done as I was feeling unwell which I thought it was due to my thyroid levels but turned out to be low folate. I was prescribed 5mg folic acid for 3 months and then had another blood test which showed my levels had increased and were in range, so the tablets were

Hydroxocobalamin supplies.
It looks as though the new owners of Panpharma are now concentrating on selling by repackaging their B12 for local sales. In UK its Accord Healthcare. This is probably why we cannot get it from German pharmacies. I cannot tolerate having my vital amine supplies threatened so I have looked elsewhere.

how do you get PA
hi everyone This may sound like a stupid question but I was wondering what makes you get pernicious anemia? Also is anyone experiencing fatigue whilst still taking the injection, I’ve got to wait another 4 weeks before my next one and I feel so tired

Reasonable Adjustment and wellbeing at work
For anyone else struggling in the workplace with hypothyroidism and multiple symptoms. I realise I’ve been very lucky, I do worry about being labelled but my only other option would be to reduce my hours which I can’t afford. I’m a teacher in an FE college, almost full time (0.92). A couple of weeks

Anti depressants and RLS
Hi fellow sufferers. I weaned myself off of Sertraline in the summer as partly responsible for worsening my severe RLS. And I had an iron infusion in August. For the last 4-5 weeks I have been symptom free of RLS, though still on 50mg pregabalin. But I find myself at an all time low for other reasons

B12/B9 balance
Since diagnosis with PA last year, I have had bi-monthly B12 injections and take a daily supplement of folic acid (Boots, 2 tablets). I have noticed that for 5-6 days after each injection I have signs of anaemia (odd sensation in feet, purple patches on fingers and some incontinence). I have also noticed

Travel insurance within the UK.
I'm travelling from Essex to Belfast next month and am looking for travel insurance. With belfast being in the UK I wonder if I actually need cover anyway. I am over 200 days post stem cell transplant and it will be my first time travelling abroad as such since the start of covid in 2020. I am considering

Test results - could someone help please?
Hi! My thyroid is well replaced, but I have been feeling so tired and achy, so I asked my GP to test vitamins. She said all is well. I'm gutted because I feel TERRIBLE. What do you think to these results? Serum Ferritin: 29 (r 20-204) Serum Iron Level: 11.7 (r4.4-27.9) Serum Transferrin: 2.63 (r

B-12 is Low (398), Folate is High, HCY is 55.6, uMMA is 1.7 , vitamin D and C and Magnesium are Low, all B vitamins are low.
Why is the GP not taking my labs seriously, I've been taking methylcobalamin tablets for a year and just began 5-MTHF because of Folate Deficiency found in my DNA, GP declined to do a MMA Blood serum test, I have been allergic to milk and beef since birth, peanuts followed with life threatening allergies

Examining the Diagnosis and Treatment Experiences of People Living With Autoimmune Gastritis and Pernicious Anemia
Have posted this over on the Pernicious Anaemia Society forum. However, it obviously is of significance to many here and the "patient forums" bit might be of general, widespread interest. I'm not re-posting here so that any comments can (hopefully) stay together on my PAS forum post (or, if anyone

Deep Brain Stimulation
Study from China on Parkinson's patients with RLS showed Deep Brain Stimulation reduced RLS & helped sleep.I certainly wouldn't consider it. Seems too extreme but if the Parkinson's patients are having the treatment to help tremor, it would be sensible to see if stimulation in another area relieves RLS

Urine Calcium Test tips?
As my GP has me down as a hypochondriac malingerer I need some evidence to force testing of calcium properly. I can’t afford a £150 6 hour round trip London clinic test so some internet research led me to a £25 set of 10 dipsticks. I’m ready for the ‘waste of time’ responses and see an endo responses

Diagnosed with b12 deficiency not pernicious anemia so far.
Wondering if anyone suspects covid vaccine and b12 deficiency. I have tinnitus b12. speech impairment headaches last about 2 minutes also transulent zig zags over my eyes again lasts 2 minutes. Taking b12 injections monthly. Is this enough given my symptoms. Would like to hear if others have my symptoms
