I was diagnosed with CMML 3 years ago and started being treated with an infusion of iron every week for 6 weeks and now have infusion of retactit every 2 to 3 weeks. This keeps blood level where Medicare wants it. I am tired and looking into B12 next 3 weeks.

Welcome to Connect, @sjkb. Having a blood disease where your body isn’t producing enough red blood cells can be, quite literally, exhausting. There’s not enough oxygen circulating in the system to keep you energized!
It looks like you’re now having Retactit infusions, which will help your bone marrow produce more red blood cells. What are current hemoglobin/hematocrit levels? Will you be talking with your doctor about the possibility of adding Vit B12?
