Having some anaemia despite taking chelated iron (in spades). I personally think it’s the relatively fast development of ckd, which would need epo to address; not chelated iron supplements. No biggie; still mostly on my feet…have passed out only a couple of times, and that dizzy feeling comes when I try to do activities, but that’s not so bad.
Don’t have access to a nephrologist yet, and likely won’t for many months, so I’ll just roll with it till then. Interestingly, I’m now on flecainide for a weird cardiac rhythm. 🤷🏻‍♀️ it’s helps.
Heart mostly anatomically ok - scan showed it still works as expected in terms of muscle, it’s only developed a weird electrical issue (recent persistent HR ~35 bpm), unchanged with high dose magnesium.
In terms of increasing haemoglobin, I eat tons of red meat, which seems to work a lot better than the supplements (when I can access it).
