Hello lupie family how do I raise hemoglobin? my range is or result is 10.5 an my Hematocrit is 33.0. Is this something I have to worry about? Like anemia? Should I ask my doctor for iron supplements or anything I can take in vitamins and food. thank you all and have a wonderful day.
Genlanco I don’t get the butterfly rash on the face and I get tired when I stay out in the sun. The weather helps my joints and ache . I get leg pain when air conditioning is too cold. I get the upper middle back pain every now and then . I start eating once a week liver and onions , spinach , kale and anything will boost my iron and vitamin K.
Genlanco I have to let you know the number with my old test results. I will go on line and look for it. This was mentioned to me with my first rheumatologist doctor. My husband didn’t like her and he ask me to get another opinion. Now my second rheumatologist told me that my blood work looks great . Not sure which one I will trust but and yes I will compare my number to yours and let you know tomorrow. Have a good night 😘🌙. Sleep tight ♥️ Hugs
My husband had this problem. He had to see a blood specialist who ran blood work. My husband had to add an iron supplement 65mg twice a day without food. It brought his level up to acceptable. I ordered them through online CVS, but sure other stores have it. I would have the blood work done first because my husband was told he might need shots or infusions. My sister-in-law has to have the shots for this. Hugs and prayers. God bless.
I try to do this: Iron glycinate: 1-2 caps + 1000 mg Vit C daily and occ 1 Tsp Black Strap Molasses.
I had the same problem. Iron level was 9.7. Tried eating “iron rich” food. No help! Tried iron supplements. No help! So, yesterday, i went for an iron infusion. Get one more next week. Hoping this will solve the problem.
