Negative PA test and B12 deficient

[BlueTurtles]

Hi,

I would like some advice.

I have just finished loading Jabs for b12 deficiency and I have been told I will receive no more injections. My red blood cells were enlarged however my PA test was negative.

GP has said its my diet however I eat meat and dairy ?!? Do I need a second opinion?

Thanks

The tests fo PA can throw up a false negative. What were your symptoms ? PAS Forum will provide lots of good info - check out their Pinned Posts.

I had neurological symptoms, walking into things, dropping things, memory loss and confusion. I also had physical symtoms of fatigue, muscle soreness, basically a zombie. The loading injections have made a massive improvement on my symptoms.

I’ll have a look at the PAS forum thank you x

When neurological symptoms are involved the treatment is different and your GP should know this. There are Guidelines your GP must follow. The treatment should be continued until there is no further improvement after loading doses. Sorry not able to do links on my phone ! I am a dinosaur 🤔
