pernicious anaemia - advice needed

[purple44]

I posted recently about my blood results and received a reply that suggested I might need to rule out pernicious anaemia. Could anyone enlighten me as to what is involved either private testing or via my GP.

I took B12, Vit D and iron supplements until July and stopped largely because I was feeling better and ran out!! In the last 2 weeks I feel exhausted and though everything is a massive effort. My recent related blood results are

vitamin D 113.6 (50-220)

ferratin 103 (10-300)

folate 5.7 (3.1 - 20)

B12 554 (187 -883) the lowest was 259 in 2012. B12 levels without supplements tend to be low end of spectrum

iron 12.5 (10-31)

I had my homocysteine tested in 2015 and it was 18 ( less than 10) and took a supplement but haven't had a re-test.

If anyone can point me in the right direction with the pernicious anaemia angle I would appreciate it. Thank you.

For information and advice on getting tested for pernicious anaemia (PA) you would be best to join the PA community here on HealthUnlocked (HU). It's a forum just like this one but is run by a PA charity :

You can join / follow as many communities as you want on HU, you aren't limited to just one.
