Hi Eileen, I know this post is over a year old. But just wanted to know if your diagnosis was confirmed. I'm not a physician but rather a poster of advanced stage AIG so I know a thing or two. Let me know if you've any lingering questions.

Hello,
I was just diagnosed with AAG in March. I had an ERCP in May of 2017 with complications (pancreatitis and a perforation that kept me in the hospital for 17 days. One month later I had my gallbladder removed. I have not felt well since then. At first I would feel okay for a few months at a time. This shortened year by year and now I am fatigued everyday, with achey eyes and malaise. Doctors have told me I don’t have PA. My B12 has been 2000 since 2018. My hemoglobin was low a few months ago and now back to normal although my monocytes and lymphocytes are low and my Alkaline Phosphatase S is high on recent labs. I’m at Mayo now waiting as a checker to get in with the menopause clinic and Fibromyalgia clinic for my fatigue symptoms. Also just got referred to Hemotology. I had an endoscopy the day I arrived and a trigger point injection yesterday. I don’t think these will help with my fatigue. Doctor doesn’t think my high B12 is paradoxical because my homocysteine is normal. I really hope I get in with these departments while I’m here! Sorry this was so long.
