Suggest Treatment For Anemia

Hello, I am a 41 year old female, 5 3 165lbs. I was sent to the ER this past Monday due to anemia. Hemoglobin was at 6.5. This is not my first time being anemic. I was anemic after the birth of my first child in 1996 and was given a blood transfusion after the c-section. My current doctors do not seem think that this episode is related to the episode in 1996. During my 4 day stay in the hospital this last week, I had just about every test imaginable ran on me. No internal bleeding to be found. After 2 units of blood, iron infusions and b12 shots daily, I was released . when I left the hospital my hemoglobin was at 7.4. Hematologist says I have Pernicious anemia and iron deficient anemia (?) I am now on oral iron pills 3 times a day and oral b12 one daily. Today I will go back to see hematologist to have blood checked again as well as receive another iron infusion. Here is my question... at 18 years old I was diagnosed with ADD. I took the meds until I became pregnant with my first child. After that I developed skills to cope with the ADD without having to take the meds. (make lists, reminder notes, organization classes, meditation, yoga etc) However, now that I am soooooo tired all the time and the ADD seems to be getting worse, I wonder if it is ok to take Adderall while being treated for anemia? It seems like the meds would help my foggy brain and give me a little more energy while I m waiting for my iron levels to increase. Thoughts?

Hi Welcome to HCM

I ,have gone thru your query regarding your anemia and your so low hemoglobin . is a matter of great concern .

In my opinion , YOU ARE UNDERGOING SUCH SITUATION DUE TO YOUR WEAKENED IMMUNE SYSTEM . Many Factors may be responsible for this --.

Excess weight can cause hormonal imbalances
Emotional state and stress,
an unhealthy diet and lifestyle, and
less nutritional intake
low white blood cell counts.
Low immunity can also be caused by a number of health conditions,
by surgical or medical treatments
by the natural aging process.
Whatever the cause, low immunity and low white blood cell counts prevent the sound health of body '.
Prevent low immunity and keep white blood cell counts high BY FOLLOWING

It’s important to check with your physician before adding herbs to your existing medications,regarding the herbs that are antioxidant ,have no side effects and go with any therapy of treatment .

Dear , one thing I must tell you that most of our health problems are due to faulty life style and unbalanced food habits .

Replacement therapy with adequate amounts of vitamin B12 will correct the deficiency and allow a person to lead a normal life .
Gulping on indicriminately only medicines or pills will not help cure unless you take care of your lifestyle , food habits and regular exercise yoga and proper rest .
Add antioxidents , garlic ,ginger , papaya lemon juice , coco nut water.Aloe vera juice 25 ml +Amla juice 2 spoon , bitter gourd juice 25 ml ,turmeric powder a level spoon with a cup of hot milk at bed time , low fat dairyproducts ,sun flower oil , tofu to your diet .
