Pernicious Anaemia Research

New Research Project – Diet and Autoimmune Diseases

17 Apr, 2017

You may remember that we reported an interesting research project that was in the very first stages of development.

Well, we’ve just been told that the two researchers who we met with in London have been successful in their application for funding and the research project will now be taking place.

The PA Society and one other Autoimmune Disease (probably Multiple Sclerosis) will now become active partners in the research project and we will be recruiting volunteer participants for the venture in the summer. We are meeting with the project leaders next week in London.

Low vitamin B12 associated with restless leg syndrome

In restless legs syndrome, (sometimes written as RLS), people get a feeling like their legs are crawling with ants, tingling, burning, itching or cramping. These feelings get worse when the legs have been motionless for a while, especially at night and improve on movement. This leads to sleep disturbance, and results in further problems such as fatigue, mental health problems and high blood pressure. Therefore, it is important to find all possible causes of restless legs.

    I would also be interested in participating. As my doctor has decided my previous doctors were too nice and has gone from giving me injections of b12 every 6 weeks to now 10 ! So if a diet change could help in any way i would love to try.
