Hi Everyone,

Just looking for some advice. I have several other auto immune conditions and my doctor suspects PA after testing my B12. When i went back for the results she also tested for antibodies which came back negative but I have started injections. I havent been able to go back to my doctor as she is away at the moment. So my question is basically, do I have PA even tho the antibody test came back negative?

Thank you!

Can you re post it please ?

Thanks!
