Hello, this is my first post. I have had a look around to see if there is something similar so please excuse me if this has been repeated elsewhere.
I've had a diagnosis of ME/CFS for 15 years. Today I saw a Psychiatrist after he ordered several blood tests I'd never had before. One of them was for Pernicious Anaemia - apparently I have it. He said that is the reason why taking B12 injections is so effective for me. He says it has nothing to do with ME/CFS. Is this correct? What is the thinking out there about this? I mean, since it's been shown by blood tests that I do have Pernicious Anaemia, could this mean I have been misdiagnosed for ME/CFS?
I was always told by doctors that my need for B12 injections was because it was proven helpful in managing ME/CFS. Appreciate your thoughts.
