What an interesting response! I have had anemia to the point I was having infusions. I have not previously known that anemia was associated with PMR. Can you point me to some references for this? My treating physicians have been on the hunt for this "secret bleed" for years to no avail! Thank you -- much appreciated.

Hi @kristinareb, Welcome to Connect. Here's one reference but I'm sure there are others.

Do you have a rheumatologist that you can talk with to see if they have suggestions?
