Here's one source...
"A condition called anaemia (an-ee-me-a), which is a lack of red blood cells that carry oxygen around the body, is quite common in polymyalgia rheumatica. Your doctor may test for this. However, anaemia can also occur in other conditions."

Thank you, John. I did a quick search after I asked the question and the versus link came up. Any additional documentation would be helpful.
Iron supplements may be essential for this condition. Given that iron can cause constipation (which the Prednisone and the condition itself may cause) it is important to get a plant based supplementation. Recommended Iron supplementation for anemia is 40-70 mg. I will take 2 30 mg capsules every other day.
