I actually have the opposite problem...my blood is very thick and sticky. It causes a LOT of complications! Do you eat red meat or iron rich green leafy veggies? Hopefully they will figure out what is going on. One thing about B12 shots....I was in the Pharmaceutical industry before I became disabled. One of my clients Shinogie Pharmaceuticals came out with a nasal spray B12. Ask about it when you see the Dr.

My sister and i are both amemic, we only have to take a multivitimin, and eat good, didn't really have a problem with it until i got pregnant, they watched me close then. The only problem i do have is that i'm always cold.. My fingers and toes.

I've always been anemic. I lose blood because of rheumatoid arthritis. Iron tablets help and when I feel it's really low, hubby grills me a big juicy steak!

i also had it as a kid, but my mother made me eat liver. Yuck!!!

Haley, you do not eat right. You only eat one meal a day.

Donna - I hope you get an easy treatment program, and that you don't have to eat liver. Feel better soon.

Yes, Mommy Judy , i'll try and eat better. I do eat alot of veggies, and now summer is here i'll be getting then from my dad's garden, Micah and i had watermelon after our walk yesterday. Yummy!!!
But as for being anemic my sister is worse than me - she will actually get lightheaded and get the shakes when she don't eat. But my sister also has a heart murmer too, i don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. She had so many test done, the doctors say there is nothing wrong with her. Just that she needs to eat her three meals a day, but my sister will skip meals so she can sneak her chocolate in...

Thanks Judy. I love fried liver and onions in gravy but 60 minutes said liver is not good for you.
I do eat a lot of greens a red meats.
Wish the Doctor would call.
Thanks to all of you.
Donna
