After nearly 20 years may be at the end of my diagnostic hell journey

Anyone who saw my DeviantArt likely saw my occasional grump and diagnostic posts. Been previously been formally diagnosed with Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia (resting heart rate of 100+ bpm and random palpitations and speed up with no trigger) and Hypophosphatemia (low phosphate salts in blood). Those two took best part of 15 years to come to due to being very rare, but both are symptoms without a cause. They've caused exercise intolerance, fatigue, pain and brain fog. Going on phosphate supplements and Coenzyme Q10 helped some, but was still having pain, issues exercising, random fatigue and brain fog. Finally been formally diagnosed with the cause for the above symptoms; Pernicious Anemia. Rare but manageable and treatable. I start on a 4 round booster shots of B12 this coming week then 4 shots per year for the rest of my days.
