That helps, @arla! I was looking at the pic on my phone and didn’t catch that. My oximeter is just reversed with heart rate at the bottom so I never even thought to zoom in and check. Well, that is much more favorable for Ed. ☺️

Thank you for catching that oversight. You recently discovered that you’re anemic and felt it was from Covid. You’re not alone in that reaction. There are several members who are also having similar symptoms. Did you also use an oximeter to check your oxygen level? After taking the iron supplements is your iron level getting back to normal?

Hi Lori! Yes I have become anemic, but I have never had covid, or at least tested positive for it. Like many people on the other board I am wondering if it has something to do with the vaccine, as I have never had a problem with anemia previously. I have been taking iron supplements for 2 months now and have not been re-tested yet. I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy which showed no evidence of internal bleeding so it doesn’t appear the anemia is from that. Yes I have used a pulse oximeter and the readings are good.
