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.

From what I’ve been reading there are also people who’ve had the virus and experiencing drops in their iron levels as well. What an unforgiving virus! It affects the body so differently, depending upon the person, with long and short term issues.
I’m sorry you’re having the anemia but hopefully that is alleviated soon. Are you feeling less tired? It will be interesting to see your next blood results. Do you have a follow up appointment scheduled?
