Yes the rheumatologist said she was a touch anemic but didn't say to do anything about it.:shifty-t:
Can bring slightly anemic go away on its own?
FW,
It depends how slight, do you know her numbers?

I would want to address it just to keep it from getting worse. Maybe you could call and ask if you should supplement just to put her up well into the range?
Farmwife,
Not to worry you--but I developed ischemia in my eyes which caused small blind spots called 'cotton wool spots' from being just slightly anemic when I was really ill and on the EEN. Once I was on weekly iron shots they went away. Some people are not very symptomatic until they are really anemic; others have symptoms at the low levels of normal. I also was very fatigued, chilled, light-headed, irritable and had problems with my memory and difficulty with math skills.

Happy that is a really good point. I know people severely affected by slight anemia and others walking around fine with severe anemia. FW sounds like you need to address it with the doctor.
This was the labs. Doesn't look to bad but her numbers are trending down. :yfaint:
Thanks Happy, Grace gets eye check ups every 4 months.
I think this all had to do her poor little body being attacked.
Now she has a yeast infection.:yfaint:
I guess that is why he really wasn't worried yet because they are still normal range. I guess he wants to wait and see. What are you doing for the yeast?
We have done the wait and see a lot for anemia. Hang in there!
M also is always freezing. She has Raynaud's but it's not just her hands and feet that are cold. She has been like this for years. We use heating pads a lot for her joints and they help to warm her up!
