update and advice please
First of all I want to thank the administrators and everyone who contribute to this forum. I look at it several times a week and so continue to learn about our shared condition from all the contributions. I need to take a bit of a sounding about my next steps – I think I know what I want to do, but

What’s the protocol for GP actioning full iron panel?
It’s become apparent that my daughter’s ferritin levels are deficient and she’s going to put in a request to her GP for a full iron panel. I routinely read here that one shouldn’t supplement with iron based on a low ferritin reading alone but I’d like to know what the supporting information for this

I started treatment v&o at the start of march ‘23, due to being very anaemic, night sweats (helped by b12 so could be menopausal) and wbc 450 ish. I was still swimming almost daily, part time working, moving house, very fatigued and lightheaded but able. Usual complications at the start of treatment

Help Needed! Have I got Pernicious Anaemia?
I hope this isn't too long and/or too boring. I suspect I have PA but as with a lot of people here, no-one seems to take B12 deficiency seriously. I also have hypothyroidism so as my symptoms got increasingly worse over the past few years, I blamed my thyroid - the two conditions have many symptoms

Can't increase my iron levels
Hi all, I posted in February 2023 my low iron results and started taking 200 Ferrous Sulphate daily then. My iron results after 3 months were Ferritin 39 (20-204) Serum iron 18.6 (4.4-27.9) Feb 23 was: serum iron 11, ferritin was 29. So not a huge improvement. But now, a year on, even worse! Despite

Can PA antibodies be reversed??
I’m back again and another complaint about a professional’s lack of knowledge in PA. Today I had a consultation with a naturopath whom I have been seeing since July. She wanted to discuss my B12 injection regimen. In her professional opinion, she believes that as the gut healing process I’m currently

Low iron levels in blood test
Just had a call from A&E who gave me a blood test last night to say my iron levels were low and I should make an appt with my GP as soon as possible. Very perplexing because I take a daily B12 supplement and eat a varied diet which is cooked from scratch. Could this be related to my under active

Too much B12??
Can high serum and active B12 levels (above recommended levels) cause the nerve damage? I recently had to visit my GP clinic and couldn’t get my favourite doctor so, agreed to seeing another doctor. Upon looking at my file he was shocked to see my apparently ‘very high B12’ results. In his opinion, too

Should my Thyroxine be put down?
Hello all, I've just had my latest results and my doctor has lowered my Thyroxine from 100mg to 75mg. Does that seem right? I feel very unwell and I'm putting on weight despite suffering from severe nausea, so I am definitely not over-eating. I'm 49-year-old woman who was diagnosed with an underachieve

UK person wanting injectable methylcobalamin
Hello everyone, I'm based in the UK and have Pernicious Anaemia. I was able to buy methylcobalamin 1mg for self-injection online from Arnika Apotheke in Germany back in 2019/2020 and had it shipped to the UK. But a year ago, in 2022, when I messaged to purchase more, they said they were no longer able
