How many women here have mild to moderate anemia?

[wyst]

I've had borderline anemia before. My doctor told me to cook in a cast iron pan, but that unless it got worse, I should just stick to over the counter supps. Seems like its been better since I've been paying more attention to my diet since I first found EF.

I just sent your info to Lloyd. Check my PM back to you and please confirm I didn't screw up the address. I didn't expect such an exotic local... so I just cut-and-pasted.

I have Thallasemia (mycrocytic anemia), but its not cured with iron supps. Iron has no affect on me because I can not absorb it. It has something to do with having a fault in my hemoglobin...............who knows. I was told to take Folic acid instead of Iron supps to help me with my energy. Back when I was 18-19 my RBC count was so low that the docs thought it was causing me to have asthma symptoms. I'd probably die in Colorado

SG I'll be a guinea pig for ya after May. (I'm pregnant right now)

I have it

Nubi you should get tested for Thallasemia and for the Sickle Cell trait. Have you taken Iron supps? did they work? For years they told me I was anemic and kept giving me iron which never raised my rbc count. Finally they found out I had thallasemia.

Merry Chirstmas to all! (especially Velvett)

Is that an invite for us all to come up to the cabin on New Year's day?

Enjoy the holidays!

That would actually be a lot of fun... but I suspect you would have a bit of trouble getting there. We know that we are going to have to time our drive really carefully jsut so we can get to teh lodge... snow conditions look bad... even with chains.
