I had a load of blood tests a few weeks ago. And I got the results back on Tuesday. My iron was a very extreme low end of normal as was my B12. So they think I may have pernicious anaemia like my dad. Pernicious anaemia is when your body can't absorb vitamin B12 as it no longer makes the enzyme that absorbs it. It's easily treatable with an injection of B12 every 12 weeks. I've got to have some more blood tests to confirm and also to start taking iron tablets to make sure I don't get normally anaemic.
