Malabsorption of drugs?
I am still awaiting a diagnosis of PA, but do suspect I do have it. My stomach pH level was recently 8.1, so very low stomach acid, which is why I am not absorbing/processing B12, iron and folate. I also did a test which showed I have very low diamine oxidase in my gut so have histamine intolerance.

Macrocytic Anemia?
Hi, I am posting here for my Mom. She had blood work every year with perfect results until last year in September when the Hemoglobin/RBC/Hemocrit started dropping. She never had anemia before. In March of this year MCV and MCH started going up and be higher then normal. I took her to a hematologist

Loading dose now complete and...drum roll
Last of the 6 jabs was two days ago. I've had some "standard" improvements and some unexpected ones. First thing I noticed was that the half moons on my fingernails started to reappear (they've been missing for ages). Mainly my thumbs but they're coming back on a couple of other digits as well. Sadly

advice.Hello friends. I have been supplementing B12 for some time. But since getting a recent blood test done. I noticed that my Ferritin and Folate were a bit low in range.Ferritin. 166ng/ml [30-26] Folate >20ng/ml [>3.9]. Do you think it would be ok to supplement

Exhausted still after B12 injection.
I was diagnosed a year ago with pernicious anemia. I find that literally half an hour after my injection I'm back to being exhausted again. I do also have RA so do get a lot of tiredness from that and the bucket load of medication I take. I did mention it to the nurse when I had my last injection

Vertigo 3 months after starting the B12 treatment
Hi, I got vertigo today. It has been 3 months after I started treatment for B12 and D deficiency. I understand that people have mentioned about reversing symptoms but wanted to check if someone else has faced vertigo and completely recovered from it. Which medicine did you take for vertigo apart?

Hope this is a blip...
Hi all, I'm noticing a return of the nerve pings and tingles that first took me to the gp 5 months ago, especially the weird quivering lips... all this disappeared pretty soon after 6 loading doses, and I SI every 3 days since then. Taking iron, folic acid, VitD as recommended and eating a daily banana

List of medications to avoid?
Hi all, hope we're all getting our natural Vitamin D on this sunny Sunday☀️? I understand there are some medications that can badly affect us B12 deficients - certain antibiotics for instance. Is there a definitive list available? I've searched this forum but can't find anything. I'd really like to

steroid reduction problems
I reduced to 11.5 mg from 12.5 mg 10 days ago. I don’t feel well in a non specific way eg as when having a virus. After showering and dressing I need to sit down for a couple of hours to recover. To be fair this has been the case for weeks. I don’t do any housework ( husband does it) can’t attend yoga
