Yes, I have both. We often have anemia, as chronic inflammation suppresses our bone marrow and reduces red blood cell production. We can also have autoimmune destruction of red cells, which I had previously, as well as the destruction of our white blood cells by our dysfunctional immune systems. If we are menstruating women, we can also have iron deficiency.
I have struggled with off and on low wbc and anemia before my lupus diagnosis but haven’t had problems with it since I’ve been on treatments for lupus. Not sure if it was caused by lupus or if I’m just more aware of my health and making better choices now
The doctor's nurse told me that it might be lymphoma. I don't if she is right because I had this before when I first was diagnosed with lupus.
I have chronic Anemia, but not initially from Lupus; Chemo was the initial cause. Went through bone marrow biop and iron infuion. Still the same...
Yes i have severe anemia also, low red blood count iron pills twice a day
