What it asks

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to review and overhaul the current out-dated and ineffective method of diagnosing and treating Pernicious Anaemia/VitaminB12 Deficiency.

What the petitioner did first

1. Featuring in a major newspaper article in 2009. This raised awareness of the general symptoms and alerted many people to what may be wrong with them. It brought many personal responses and increased membership of the Pernicious Anaemia Society as a source of valuable information. www.pernicious-anaemia-society.org
2. Contacting the Scottish Parliament through my MSP in 2009, achieving responses from a Speciality Advisor which confirmed what we know to be the present but flawed understanding of how best to diagnose and treat this condition.
3. Adding my support to various e-Petitions at Westminster, lodged by the Pernicious Anaemia Society or members of it.
4. Personally appearing in a professionally produced DVD by the Pernicious Anaemia Society this year and which makes clear the failings in the current diagnosis and treatment of this condition.
