Anaemia

[uknlv]

Hi, haven't posted in a really long time, but I have a question. I keep suffering from severe anaemia and they have run tests and nothing comes back. It started going back up for a bit but has now bottomed out again. So back to getting same tests. Does anyone else have this as a result of their Scleroderma? If so what have your Dr suggested for you?

[zenabb]

could it be caused by some of your medication?

Not sure, hopefully I can get back into my Rheumatologist soon so can find out. So tired all the time and out of breath because of it.

Why don't you phone sister in charge of your clinic she would look up your case and phone you sack  .no one should have to wait 4to 6 months to find out what going it took me a long time to find that out  . Ps you will find they are very sympathetic xx

Thanks Cobr1 and zenabb, I will let my Dr know that others have had it. Hopefully I won't have to have some of the horrible tests with it. Don't want another colonoscopy unless I will die without it being done. lol

Hi 

I have primary raynauds (1st known attack age 4), and have been anaemic on and off since I had an operation at 16.  I have probable IBS (aged around 20) and B12 deficiency (around 28).  I now have blood tests a couple times a year, and take iron intermittently due to low ferritin.  Heavy periods are being blamed.  I dont have scleroderma. Hope you get treatment even if no causal diagnosis.
