Enlarged red blood cells (macrocytosis) with PMR

Posted by dallas @dallas, Nov 1, 2023

If you haven’t had a recent blood test, get one- looking for ENLARGED BLOOD CELLS. 50%+ of all PMR patients have enlarged/oversized blood cells; which are causes of rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatica and anemia. Enlarged blood cells are caused by vitamin deficiencies.
***Treatment for enlarged blood cells is a daily dose of vitamin B12 WITH folic acid. These two supplements together will help restore blood cells to their normal size.

After 3 years of continuous PMR pain and taking prednisone to mask it, daily doses of vitamin B12 and folic acid have taken away all my stiffness and soreness over just a two week treatment. I am pain free!!! My blood cells have shrunk to near normal levels. Try this simple treatment and get well my friends!!!

Hello @afghanistancombatvet, Welcome to Connect. Mayo Clinic has a list of possible causes here - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/vitamin-deficiency-anemia/expert-answers/macrocytosis/faq-20058234.

Have you had any blood tests to see if it may show a possible cause?
