A member asked:
Is pernicious anemia a long term condition?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, it is a chronic condition, usually due to the lack of a substance in your stomach juice (intrinsic factor). Without this substance, your gut can't absorb vitamin B12 then pernicious anemia occurs.

It is a life long condition and you need to take vitamin B12 by injection. Sublingual form of vitamin B12 may suffice if validated by blood tests. For info: https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000569.htm#:~:text=Pernicious%20anemia%20is%20a%20type,be%20absorbed%20in%20the%20intestines.
