Does anybody have low hemoglobin numbers?

Posted by Tina Sims @tinaesims, Dec 22, 2023

I have been in this journey for over 10 years and this is the first time I'm scared. I'm in my 2nd bout with MAC and have been diagnosed with CF. My nose has been constantly bleeding and I've told the ENT. It drips down and makes my sputem pink. Now my hemoglobin numbers are low. Of course, my doctor isn't working because of the holidays but her partner called and asked questions. The CT pharmacist called about something else and I told her about it. Everyone seems to be worried which is making me crazy. Has anybody else experienced this?

Here's wishing that your worries will go away. I've had had low hemoglobin, but nothing that iron pills and foods, like spinach, beans, lentils, red meats, etc. wouldn't handle. I hope they will be able to cauterize the issue in your nose to stop the bleeding. Remember, tis the season for miracles!
