I was tested several weeks ago to see if my iron supplements were helping w/my Anemia. The iron levels had came up to normal range but I was still showing to be Anemic. The doctor order tests for B-12 and TSH level. Both came back in the normal range. I have another appt coming up on Fri. 6/26 so going to ask doctor what else can be done or tested. I'm soooooo tired of being TIRED!!!! Hope all is going well for everyone here.
Take care and blessings to all, Tabby Posted on 06/19/09, 09:06 pm |

Hi Tabby,
Any chance they would consider an endoscopy on you and take a bowel sample to see if your celiac? its a tube down into tummy, but your asleep so you wouldnt know. Think sometimes they can do a simple blood test for it too, but this way they have a look around too. Friends hubby is having a serious problem at present, some bug in his tummy, and his iron has dropped to 3 because of what ever it is doing. He just had this test done. Please let us know.

I too am having problems getting answers, it is driving me insane. I am told I will probably never know why I have anemia and that I will probably be having approx 3mthly Iron infusions from here on in.

Thanks for the info Aust. I will check into it as it is frustrating being tired all the time when I have a full time job and 11 yrs old son to take care of.
Hope things are going better for you.

Jed1 I'm sorry to hear that you have to have infusions but pray that it will help you. The appt I went to on 6/26 showed I had blood in the urine. I haven't seen any so it is microscopic blood. It was a week after my cycle so they want me to repeat it about 2 wks prior to my next cycle. I'm about 4-5 days late on my cycle so will have to wait before I can have urine re-tested.
Hope things get better for you.
