Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I was d/x with pernicious anemia, could someone give me complete laymans terms on what can i expect with this, what it can do to me, and what i can do to get rid of it if at all possible..

Pernicious anemia might be a possibility and is serious.jpHello everyone,My name is Diana and I'm wondering if anyone on this group hasinformation about or with Peripheral Arterial Disease or PAD.I'm writing for my father, who is 81, and has fairly good health forhis age except for suffering terribly with pain in his feet and legs.He's in California and I'm in Mexico City but I was just up to the USfor a periodic check on my family. My mother is in a convalescenthospital and I go to see how things with them are about every 5 or 6months.My father was diagnosed with Peripheral Neuropathy about 2 years agoafter he had recovered from shingles. On a recent trip up to see them,he commented that his pain is getting worse and I can see that he'sbecoming more and more incapacitated. But what really is worrying me,aside from the increasing numbness in his feet and loss of hair on thelower half of his legs is that the bottom right leg and foot arebeginning to turn color; it's darker than the left leg. I'm concernedhe could lose his leg.The only help he gets from his doctor are medicationsfor pain and being curtly told to learn to live with it. The doctordoesn't seem to care and is lax in other aspects, like my Dad going infor a physical and not even getting weighed. I wish he would quit him,but he's is reluctant to switch to another doctor for what I assumeto be the fear of change in the elderly.Looking for help for him on the internet, I came across PeripheralArterial Syndrome whose symptoms are similar and can occur inconjuntion with those of Peripheral Neuropathy and I have somequestions for this group which are:1. Does anybody know how PAD is diagnosed differentially from PN? MyDad was never tested for PAD or anything else. It was just assumed hehad PN.2. What role does diet and exercise play in PAD?3. What specialist should he see for PAD and PN?I just joined the PAD , only 6 members with me, and sentmore or less the same message and am waiting to hear from them. Iwould greatly appreciate any and all information and input from thismuch larger group because I want to help him as much as I can.Thank you all very much,Diana«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»§ - PULSE ON WORLD HEALTH CONSPIRACIES! §Subscribe:......... - «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»Other like groups:MedicalConspiraciesSubscribe: MedicalConspiracies- Post message: MedicalConspiracies Any information here in is for educational purpose only; it may be news related, purely speculation or SOMEONE'S OPINION.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I use Superfood by Dr Schulze for a good herbal source of B-complex vitamins. Good Luck! B12 deficiency can be overlooked, and it's a shame. Go to a health food store or a chiropractor and get the Methylcobolamin B12 sublingual as strong as you can find it. Sometimes this problem develops because a person cannot convert cyano to cobalamin, the active B12. Good luck! It should not be expensive. There are a lot of good things for the mind too, but if you are older, start with the B12. It can help that. jp I was on the b12 until i lost my insurance, and i did a look up on it and got more information, thank you for responding so quick. BTW, i have lots of psychological changes that are getting to the point they are devasting, no doctors seems to put the two together, or don't care too.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Yea! But then they have to eat the same food we eat -- and it is nuked - tampered with - and abused from farm to supper. Isn't it interesting that the rich cannot figure out that they are harming themselves while supposedly trying to make sure we exist in nedder-land of pharmaceuticals.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I take an organic wild blue green algae, which has bioavailable B12, and every other nutrient you can name, naturally occurring in it. It's the beginning of the food chain - great stuff! Good way for vegetarians to get their B12, but be careful in choosing which algae, as some (like Spirulina and Chlorella) will result in pernicious anemia because of it being an analog and the B12 in them can't be absorbed, and worse it blocks the receptor sites so that the real B12 can't get through.
