The first time worried me, anymore, I'm not going to let it bother me. I do hope that it was just a false reading on the labs part.<br />I laughed when I read your last statement about drawing more blood. Sort of like the bank charging you money for a hot check when they already know you don't have any money in your account.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03575686459496908135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551994216062621619.post-38790180808181637122010-07-18T15:40:44.888-04:002010-07-18T15:40:44.888-04:00Hi, just wanted you to know that I am also anaemic...Hi, just wanted you to know that I am also anaemic and now all the blood results that show it are off on one. It turns out I have a stomach ulcer (nice effect of stress and the ra meds) but also the ra itself chews bits of the stomach, bowel etc. NICE eh? NOT! <br />Have you had the B12 checked- I know that B12 is a common looser in us RAers and after a few jabs you feel much better. In the meantime I am trying to eat more protiens and stuff, I am off to look at Laurie's link....PS It makes me really tired and want to sleepJblacey https://www.blogger.com/profile/13984196667527277155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551994216062621619.post-15111039940622361252010-07-18T05:46:57.994-04:002010-07-18T05:46:57.994-04:00The words from a song by The Eagles comes to mind....The words from a song by The Eagles comes to mind..."she wonders how things ever got this crazy".

And of course, we all love getting jabbed so much that what's another one so soon?<br /><br />I wonder how they treat "anemia of chronic illness"?<br /><br />I hope it's just a lab glitch. And if it isn't, then if you have to change meds, I hope they work better than what you're on, now. Have a great weekend, Laurie. Eat lots of cool spinach salad -- it's packed full of iron. ;)<br />-WrenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
