Abnormal bloods - can anyone help me interpret
Hi everyone and thanks in advance for your time. I may be in totally the wrong place but have felt so ill that I am trying to join up dots. I have recently been diagnosed with autoimmune thyroiditis which explains a great deal. However, I also have all kinds of other very high or abnormal blood test

Is it ok to self-inject everyday when starting treatment?
Hello all. Just yesterday I gave myself an injection of B12 - that was my first sslf injection of it. I am aware of the NICE guidelines for the treatment of B12 anemia with neurological symptoms and I do indeed have strong symptoms which seem like they can only be neurological in nature like numbness

Blood test results. Help, please
Hi, this is my first time here so apologies if I’m in the wrong place. I recently had blood tests which show I have Hashimoto’s, but also seem to indicate problems with possible anaemia. Ferritin 43 (13-200) B12 235 (197-771) Folate 10.3 (3.89-26.8) Eosinophil0.6 (0.0-0.4) Lymphocyte 1.3 (1.0-4.0) Neutrophil3.2

Possible link between lowered folate reading in blood test and numbness
Just been put on a 3 month course of Folic Acid tablets 5mg 1 per day to boost my folate readings. Apparently it helps restore nerve issues and boosts red blood cell. GCA damages these so maybe others have folate issues connected with numbness. Has anyone else had this as a possible solution to numbness

Reduction of blood tests due to shortage of tubes
Yesterday I read in the BBC news that a women had been refused her thyroid bloods test along with a cholesterol test due to shortages in England and Wales of blood test tubes. Has anyone been refused recently. I also read the situation will get worse and will continue for months, which is very concerning

Normalization of CBC without medical treatment
Has anyone on this forum diagnosed with ET/PV with corresponding elevation in hemoglobin, hematocrit, RBC and platelet experience normalization (meaning CBC goes back to normal range without medical treatment)?

Does this sound ok?
My adult daughter was recently in hospital with a prolapsed disc and had a blood test which showed Hb of 10. Her GP did an iron profile and B12 as her uncle and grandfather had PA. B12 was 169 and ferritin 13 and HCT MCV and transferrin results abnormal. He is starting her on loading B12 injections

Diagnosis. - which blood test?
I appear to have all the symptoms, minus the red tongue, but have only had a CBC. Should I ask for a more sensitive blood tes, and if so, which one? I’m aware that it took years to diagnose my mother with pernicious anemia

Hello all. Being disabled with many things wrong with me I've also suffered with RLS all my life. I'm 51 now.

I am new here and about to start venetoclax/rituximab treatment.
CLL diagnosed in 2012. No treatment for CLL so far other than rituximab to treat haemolytic anemia. My question is: Having just completed 4 weekly doses of Rituximab and achieved excellent recovery from haemolytic anemia, can I start immediately the venetoclax/rituximab treatment or do I have to wait

High systolic blood pressure but normal diastolic blood pressure meaning in B12 deficiency, do you have the same issue?
My systolic blood pressure 14.5 mm hg and diastolic blood pressure is between 9.2 to 8.1 Is that normal and I have mostly muscle weakness neuropathy. Higher systolic blood pressure is the root cause of heart attack. I'm to see my cardiologist on October. My High systolic blood pressure is not related

B12 Injections: do they cure Pernicious Anemia?
Hi, I have just been diagnosed with PA, related to vitamin B12 deficiency. My GP has prescribed a course of vitamin B12 injections (12 over the next month followed by a quarterly booster). I would be interested in hearing from you if you have had the course. Did it cure your Pernicious Anemia?

Iron/bloods... confused!
Hi, I was diagnosed with iron deficiency anaemia in May and have been taking iron (gentle iron) and recently had a blood test to see if it had improved. I was annoyed to find that they didn't test ferritin again, just a full blood count. My haemoglobin is now 135 (range 120-150) so bang on. I spoke
