Your B12 is very low. GP should probably investigate and test for Pernicious Anaemia before perhaps starting B12 injections
You need folate tested too. This works with B12. If that is low as well, definitely push for testing, before probably starting injections or supplementing sublingual B12 lozenges
This is very interesting, I already have Hashimotos and could well also have this too. My GP told me on my notes today that these results are 'satisfactory' which is disgusting to be honest as I have been ill for a few weeks now.
My symptoms currently include extreme fatigue, brain fog that is very bad up until lunchtime, sore joints, poor concentration, hot flushes now and again and unexplained bouts of diarrea on and off. What test can they do to determine if you have Pernicious Anaemia, I see my Endo on Friday and can ask her to test this for me hopefully she will help.
My vitamin D was low before I will find the reading but I take vitamin d everyday to supplement this deficiency!
I already have a diagnosis for Hashimotos I was just thinking I might have the Pernicious Anaemia like you mentioned as I have alot of B12 related symptoms and my b12 is low on the latest reading above.
How can I get my endo to test me for Pernicious Anaemia? I doubt she will test me for it what test is required?
Your GP should run Pernicious Anaemia tests test BEFORE you start supplementing any B vitamins or B12
Usually it's that low B12 is result of Hashimoto's not being adequately treated, rather than actual Pernicious Anaemia. Often does still require B12 injections
Hashimoto's is an autoimmune disease, so it's more likely to get another.
Endocrinologists are generally completely disinterested in gut, gluten or vitamin levels. God knows why. We don't get better without sorting all that out
By the far the majority with Hashimoto's are non coeliac gluten intolerant, but it's best to get coeliac testing BEFORE giving up gluten totally
I am gluten free and dairy free though I do have the occasional slip up with gluten but not frequently.
I am not sure how I would go about getting b12 infections as my GP isn't even interested in going over low results with me and telling me they are normal when I am not well.
Is it worth me mentioning to my Endo when I see them and see if they will help with testing?
