COVID protection and treating anemia
Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 | Last Active: Jan 7, 2023 | Replies (26)Comment receiving replies
My husband had the covid vaccine January and February. He was diagnosed and admitted to the hospital with severe anemia 12/7 and again a week later for same. He has received 2 units of blood and 2 of iron each time. Internal blood loss found and repaired. He is taking iron, b12, and supplements at home. He has a pacemaker as well. I am am afraid for him to get a booster until he has improved. He is 85. I do not have a doctor that I trust for a recommendation as his blood work showed this was ongoing for over 3 months and noNE thought ithat important. Shouldn't he wait to get the covid booster?

Retnav36,
I don’t have a specific answer for your post covid dilemma. However, your frustration and trust concerns are real. As it relates to the current Covid situation I am afraid patience is going to be required and a strong push to keep finding answers on your own.
After seeing 5 different doctors I have finally found one that is knowledgeable about my symptoms and open minded enough to treat not only individual symptoms but all of them as a whole.
Remember not one person or entity is the sole repository of knowledge so keep looking.
Your answers are out there and you are your own best health care advocate.
I wish you all the best.

I have seen the same with my father and my mother in law. My dad had to receive 2 units of blood back in September. My mother in law is now anemic since getting both of the Moderna vaccine's. If you look at her bloodwork prior to them she had no issues. I would wait until his numbers are back to normal.
