The Level of Serum Pepsinogen in Diagnosing and Evaluating the Severity of Subacute Combined Degeneration Due to Vitamin B12 Deficiency
It's well known that B12 deficiency results in gastrointestinal symptoms, but this is a new twist for me: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fneur.2021.604523/full

iron panel test
Would it be best to do iron panel test as I am now free of B12 and b complex or start taking them and then do?

nhs stopping b12 injections
I have heard that nhs are stopping b12 injections due to the work load on surgeries.the nurse said that people will have blood tests and those who are above the level will then go onto oral medication.my concern is if they give you a blood test just after your b12 injection then levels will be high and

Vitamin B12 produced by gut bacteria modulates cholinergic signalling
I simply can't help but think that this has some relevance to Pernicious Anaemia. But goodness knows what! And the lack of access precludes reading it all to try to find out. Seems such an odd bit of genetics that we developed an incredibly complex system to grab a tiny bit of B12 from our food, which

Is it worth having a private iron panel done when the NHS results can be so different?
Whom should I believe? A few months ago (April) I had the results above via Medichecks. Last week these were the NHS results: Serum Iron: 29.5umol/L (14.00 - 30.00umol/L) Serum Ferritin 22 (13.00 - 150.00ug/L) Transferrin Saturation 39 (20.00 - 50.00%) TIBC 76 (50.00 - 72.00) So according to NHS

Goldpharma not letting me buy B12
Hi Everyone. I have had problems with B12 deficiency and have regularly self-injected for years. I always get my B12 from Goldpharma and it has never been a problem. However today I have tried to buy B12 and when I try to go to the next screen to pay for it, after putting all my details in I just get

Vitamin/mineral deficiencies
Hi. I've had Pbc for 6 yrs now. Recently I've noticed that I am more fatigued than normal. I asked for my blood results over the last 10 yrs . I noticed a progressive decline in my ferritin levels over the last few yes. I had a vitamin b12 level done recently and it was just above the borderline/normal

do I need to stop Biotin containing supplements before a Blue Horizon iron status profile test?
I am testing my iron after very low ferritin results on a thyroid plus vitamins test ( I am seeing a Dr at private online clinic from the Thyroid UK list) In the past II had normal/high iron, so before I supplement I want to check all the iron indicators my question is: do I need to stop my b complex

Death of Dr. Joseph Chandy
Very sad news of the death of Dr. Chandy, who was a hero for his B12 deficient patients . He wrote , with Hugo Minney , a great book “Vitamin B12 deficiency in clinical practice”. ( Doctor , you gave me my life back) He stood up to the medical authorities in order to treat his B12 deficient patients

Functional B12 problem, advice wanted
Hi Over the last 20 odd years I got very sick with lots of the typical PA symptoms. I was virtually housebound and incapable of any physical activity, with lots of neurological problems, muscle wasting, anemia etc. These were so pronounced that I received a preliminary (incorrect) diagnosis of motor

New Study : Vitamin B12 boosts cellular reprogramming
[i]" In the context of aging, although most diets across the world contain sufficient amounts of B12, older individuals often present poor B12 absorption and, therefore, partial deficiency of B12. Our work suggests that this could in part contribute to the lower tissue repair capacity of older people

Blood work
I recently got my blood tested so I could check for ferritin levels and my ferritin was at 329. I had gotten my blood test a year ago when I first saw the doctor for RLS but they’d didn't test ferritin levels at that time. My doctor just messaged me about my new results and said my results showed elevation

Panpharma B12 Depot out of stock at Apohealth - now what do I do?
Hi I made the mistake of ordering Panpharma Vitamin B12 from Apohealth recently but when it came the box looked a bit different and I realised I'd not ordered the "depot" version. I had cobalamin not hydroxy. So, annoyed with myself, I sent them back. I kept forgetting to reorder. Came to do it

What now, totally lost and scared
I was all ready to start self injecting B12 having done much research and received helpful advice on here, received supplies and got my first jab done at a clinic. I doubted my GP would consider injections as my total serum B12 was 747ng/L (200-900) 3 months ago so decided to go this alone. Very low

Vitamin D and Anemia: Insights into an Emerging Association
Found an interesting study. The conclusion sold it for me. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4659411/ CONCLUSION Vitamin D is associated with anemia in various study populations and recent evidence suggests that the association may differ by race and is likely specific to anemia of inflammation

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

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
