Anemic due to kidney problem: How to increase hemoglobin?

@gingerw I have been severely anemic for weeks if not months. The only one seriously concerned is my primary who I think is in panic mode which is setting me off as I really REALLY don't feel well. Lupus doc took one look at my labs and said I'm anemic. He told me when I see my new CLL doc in OCTOBER (!) to tell him my symptoms and he'll give me an iron infusion. I said "I'm allergic to iron infusions" and he mumbled about different kinds of infusions and left the room. I've never felt this way before. I've said it before and I'll say it again I am literally and physically dying I know without a shadow of a doubt and I can't find a doctor to help me 🥺😵💫😭

I know the feeling! I feel like on a repeat loop and no one is listening!

@jerrysgirl3 Finding the reason for the anemia is the first step to solving it. Here is an article from Mayo Clinic that speaks to anemia. Now, please do not assume you have a nasty disease process going on! It may be a medication is lending itself to creating the anemia. Or your diet is not the right one for you. Do you have access to a registered dietician in your area you can confer with?

It's tricky, balancing everything together. But, we owe it to ourselves.
