    Pernicious anemia
    I have pernicious anemia for 7 years and take B-12 shots monthly, also have crohns, Ulcerative Colotis, Asthma, Acid Reflux and Inner Ear problems, crohns and Colotis is in remission for several years, what I am wondering about is how long of life expectancy should I have with these conditions, I have nausea at least 2 or more times a day, some days with vomiting, my doctors never comments when I tell him this, he just looks at my records and says that is the same complaint as you have had before.

    Then you need to get a second opinion. Tell your doctor that you are not happy with how he is treating you and you want to be referred. Or, go to totally different clinic and get a copy of your medical records to take with you.

    Your life expectancy? No one can know that - your doctor can actually be the best one to tell you as he should know you the best of anyone. It would be very difficult to say your life expectancy is, for example 40 years. Then you reply that are 41. Your question is best asked to a specialist, in my opinion.
