What is folic acid used for?
For other reasons, nothing to do with Pernicious Anaemia, I was checking the Patient Information Leaflet for a UK folic acid product. And I noticed this bit: [i]Ennogen Pharma Limited[/i] [i]
Folic Acid Tablets 5mg

Rituximab and Denosumab
Has anyone had a Denosumab injection after having a Retuximab infusion. I have just had my second infusion and due a Denosumab injection soon. Just read that Denosumab can increase the risk of serious infection with Rituximab. Rheumatology have said that it's OK, but I don't trust them.

I don’t really understand them all. I’m currently 12 weeks pregnant if that changes anything. I feel pretty pants if

please help with figuring out what is wrong
I posted recently that my Mom’s Hemoglobin is dropping, same as RBC and Hemocrit, while MCV and MCH are high. She was diagnosed with Macrocytic Anemia but doctors can’t figure out the cause. The hematologist did bone marrow biopsy, PET scan and over 50 blood test, all normal except for Copper and Ferritin

New Blood Results - help please
I’ve received my latest blood results and they seem quite random compared to my last set of results. My GP has asked to speak to me and review them but wanted to ask for some advice from the brilliant people here first… For ref, my levo was increased from 125 to 150mcg in February 24. I’ve been feeling

Folic acid and iron
Just finished loading doses for b12 still feel awful. My folate is low so does that mean I need to take folic acid tablets or iron tablets?

Is serum folate levels the level of b12?
I received this as a blood result 3 weeks after receiving my b12 injection but I am confused. Does this tell me the level of b12 in my blood or folate? There are no other test results that refer to b12. I am currently suffering very badly with the symptoms of low b12 despite having my 3 monthly injections

How overcome a high B12 test from when I must supplement to function?
Both intrinsic factor and parietal antibody tests were positive ("abnormal") with B12 >2000. Methylmalonic Acid is normal at .28.

Advice on Blood results please?
Hi, I'm not diagnosed with any thyroid problems but have had numerous blood tests over the last 4 years because of severe menopause symptoms that have not responded to HRT. Would you be able to have a look and see what you think please? I have also included some of the vitamins tested.

seeing neurologist, advice on b12 injections welcomed…
hi all? have been prescribed with PA. My ferritin levels are normal - 177 Vitamin D- 70. I have finished loading does for b12 last week. My last reading was 188 2 weeks ago but imagine it’s greater than 2000 now. My folate was low - 3.5. My Gp has helpfully given me folic acid 5 mg a day

B12 injections - advice please
Hi, I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, but also have very low B12 levels (not clear if PA). I was prescribed B12 injections privately - Hydroxycobalamin. However, the pharmacy can issue me with the ampules, but no means to inject it so I’m into working out plan B. Possibly getting the ampules

Rapid Weight Gain and Hard Swollen Abdomen
I have had CLL since 2017 and am still on watch and wait, which I prefer to call No Treatment Needed. Don’t have another appointment until the end of July. Over the past month or so I’ve gained about 15 pounds, going from 130-145. I eat a healthy diet and two meals a day. There has been no change

I thought I was going mad at first, my RLS is horrendous and affecting me at work. Poor and very little sleep, getting confused and making mistakes, forgetting information. The RLS was starting early on a morning and nothing I could do to relieve it. I was taking too many cocodomoI out of desperation

Should I stop Ferrous Fumarate before Blood Test?
Hi, I was prescribed Ferrous Fumarate after my last bloods showed very low in ferritin levels (I'm Hashi's). I'm due my follow up routine blood test for thyroid levels and ferritin / iron next week. Do I need to stop taking the Ferrous Fumarate ahead of the blood test? Thanks so much
