Hi, Leigh Ann,

 

I know that anemia is common for those of us with RA.  I am not anemic, but I know I may be at some time in the future.  Did your doc prescribe iron, Leigh Ann, or any other testing?  Hope you can get the anemia under control quickly and feel better soon.

 

Blessings,

V

I use to be anemic then I bought a cast iron skillet and use it to cook almost everything.  It is made with iron.  After awhile my iron levels increased and the anemia went away.

 

It dosen't hurt to try it.

 

Good luck.
