Suggest Treatment For Anemia

My doc. said I have profound Anemia, 8 on the scale. She put me on iron 3 times a day, it s been 8 days and I am still extremely weak, like a kitten. I have servere Insomnia, also. which I ve been working on and will gointo CBT at the end of this mth. Now , with the weakness, my joints are sore and and am wondering how long tis will last. I fel like i have Mono., but know that is unlikely, since I;m 70 yr s old. Any Sugestions? Thanks. Anita

Hi Anita.

Speak to your doctor about a blood transfusion as you are suffering from various other symptoms, especially weakness. If your levels are low enough, your doctor will surely consider a transfusion which can solve your problem at the earliest.

Best wishes.
