Default Any one ever get anemia?

I get something called pernicious anemia from lack of nutrient absorbsion. I run out of red blood cells. Even with B12 and Testosterone injections ever two weeks it still happens. Last one was two years ago.

Oddly, my iron and hemoglobin kept going up for the last two years with no changes in diet or supplements. But now we are back to crashing.

What chaps my ass is that you have to have hemoglobin at or below 13.6 to get treatment (a series of iron infusions every other day for two weeks). So I知 at 14.

I知 almost incapacitated from the fatigue. My mind is foggy. By the time I get to under 13, l値l be in bad shape. But every time (this would be #4) this is how it goes. I try to tell them I知 self employed. But to no avail.

I知 .4 too high. Sigh.

Seems close enough.

Anyone know this feeling? It is insane. The good news is after about a dozen infusions, I値l feel like Chuck Norris on six Monster drinks. The nurses call me Iron Man and I swear I become magnetic. Had a spoon stuck to my ass for a week.

Symptoms:
Extreme physical and mental fatigue.
Shortness of breath
Cognitive fog
Eye lid undersides light pink/grey (should be red)
High BP, High pulse
Can稚 concentrate
No horny
Hair and fingernails brittle

Anyone else?
