I have been on O/V for almost six months. One O infusion to go. My problemIs I think my anemia is becoming severe. I am really. Exhausted most of the time and
I have an infection in my finger from a puncture, from a thorn of a grapefruit tree.
Actually two infections they will not heal, very sore. I am trying to reach my doctor--
I also pulled my ham string??? I don't know how, that is more than painful. This is not
a good day, just had to vent---
Hi. Sorry to hear it. I hope you can found some relief soon. The fatigue must be frustrating. I get annoyed from my trivial w & w tired. Keep us posted, and all the best!
Sorry to hear you are having a tough time. Why do you think your anaemia is getting worse? Are you not responding to the treatment? What is your Hb like? I do suffer with skin infections and cuts etc. take much longer to heal - my go to is an antibiotic cream - fucidic acid - perhaps you should see your GP and they could check you out and prescribe it? It always help, it does not take more than 2-3 days to see an improvement. All the best.
Thank you!
I'm so sorry Lisbon. Things do seem to happen at the same time 🙁. Hope you feel better soon ❤️
Only a blood test will determine if you are in fact anaemic. I was, after starting venetoclax and rituximab recently. A GP or consultant can advise. I temporarily took iron tablets and changed my diet slightly (more eggs and baked beans, for example) to lift iron levels. My deficiency is now mild.
sorry to hear you are having a bad time. Definitely see your doctor or oncologist. On FCR I became so anaemic I could only walk a few steps, I was so tired and breathless. At that point the oncology team said I must have a blood transfusion. Apparently if the anaemia gets to a certain point, no iron tablets or diet will help and a blood transfusion is the only way to correct it. Hopefully you are not that bad, but please get help. Good luck.
