Is it worth doing pernicious anemia test with active B12 of 68?
I'm working on getting my levels of B12, folate, ferritin and D up to ideal levels, if I can, for my thyroid. I recently got a B12 result from monitor my health of 68 pmol/L (range 38-210). I have read that you can still have B12 deficiency even if your B12 is around my level (I heard over 70 is needed

Hi,I posted a while ago concerning my son who had a fit test of over 200 , he had a previous colonoscopy which was clear. He has had a CT of his pelvis and abdomen and has had the all clear from this today in a letter and been discharged from the clinic. This is all great news but we still have

blood and mucus in stool for a few years now colonoscopy has came back clear
I’m a 25 year old female and I was diagnosed with IBS many years ago. I used to get really bad stomach pains after eating and then the pain would subside after having diarrhoea this happened for awhile on and off this made me very anxious and I was weary at what I ate I stopped eating red meat for awhile

Silent Reflux and B12 Deficiency- Any Link?
Hello! I was diagnosed with low B12 following a blood test in December last year, on injections but only had 3 of the 6 loading doses then was moved on to one every three months due to severe side effects that worried my GP. Had my first of the 3 monthly ones a few weeks ago and all went well. I saw

Does endoscopy replace colonoscopy?
Hello beautiful PA fam, I wanted to know if any of you guys with PA also have gastritis from it and therefore have to get upper endoscopy and colonoscopy periodically. The reason I'm asking, my doctor did a upper endoscopy on me and told me I didn't need a colonoscopy for the next 10 years and it

barium swallow
hello I had an endoscopy done today as I have near enough constant nausea it’s been going on for 5 months and I’m also suffering from constipation. Nothing was found today anyway and have been told it would be good to get a barium swallow. I’m just extremely worried about side effects I have very bad

infusion Side Effects
good morning fellow warriors. My PSA continues to move up so my oncologist ordered 20 sessions of radiation. The radiation was a walk in the park compared to the 1030-1048 Zometa infused Wednesday morning. Holy cow ! Peed (a few dribbles) every half hour. Chills then sweats. Bone ache throughout and

Start Adalimumab next week!
Start this drug next week after 2 and a half years of shocking hell. I was still playing football 5 times a week at the start of 2022, when a pain in the bottom of my foot stopped me in my tracks (now it’s in both feet, ankles, shoulders and back). Got diagnosed with spondyloarthritis. Long story short

Rejected by NHS again
Hi everyone. After being diagnosed with gastritis (cause unknown) in December I took the advice of the gastroenterologist and started Omeprazole treatment. I’ve been having stomach issues for at least 7 years. After four months of treatment I was experiencing breakthrough symptoms so decided to taper

Sore gut after bad flare up
So the initial nightmare flare up & cramps on Sunday night/Monday has now eased off. I can't say it's calmed down because I'm left with the worst lower abdominal pains and extreme sore feeling inside. Just putting my feet on the ground to walk seems to jolt! Feeling of bad bloating but actually

B12 supplementation query
My active B12 level in 2022 was 66.1 pmol/L and following advice on our wonderful forum I began taking Thorne basic B complex. This raised my levels to 78.6 pmol/L in 2023. This year my B12 level is 76.3 pmol/L. So it hasn't continued to increase to the recommended 100 pmol/L. For the past ten days

Doing well on Taxol. TM down by half!
I'm a long timer (20 years on 3/1/24, with bone mets since first diagnosis) and have done extremely well. Lobular bc, E + P + her2neu - at diagnosis. In 2023, it became triple negative and I was on Xeloda for a few months. It stopped working and I've been on Taxol for about 5 or 6 infusions. CA 27

New to the form
hello, My mum sent me this information with the hopes that I can find support and information as I’m starting out my journey. I had been having irregular periods and lower back pain for a few months. I would take medication and just push on. In December, I had such severe pain I called my husband

Ivermectin
I was recently diagnosed with CLL after a year plus of repeating colds and respiratory infections. My whites were in the high 20's sometimes almost doubling in a couple of weeks time. Now they are in the low to mid teens and I feel good. So, my question is has anyone used Ivermectin with any success?

Scan shows spreading despite chemo but surgery going ahead..confused 🤔
Hello alI I have stage 4 clear cell carcinoma, had a scan this week and got the results today. My gynae nurse said she could only tell me what was written on a scrap bit of paper which left me with more questions than answers (not impressed with this). I will call again next week but meantime wondered

vitamin results
I’ve just received my vitamin results. My ferritin is 52, serum vitamin b12 level 462 ng/l, serum folate level 16.5 ng/l (range 3-20), vitamin D 90. A year ago my ferritin was 48, vitamin b12 331 and folate 12.3. I’m disappointed my ferritin has only gone up by 4. I tried cutting tea out near meal

Once I start supplementing B12, will my B12 blood tests still be accurate?
I would like to know if blood tests will still be a useful measure of my B12 levels, once I have started supplementing B12. I would be testing active B12. The reason I ask is that I have read pernicious anemia people saying that once they start injections (and supplements too maybe), that the B12 blood
