Re: Chronic anemia + sluggish bone marrow = frequent transfusions
Jessica
Are you being monitored for ferritin counts with the increased blood transfusions? I don't know about the addition of iron, transfusions can lead to iron overload. I love the suggestion of B12.
Venofer IV is iron sucrose. it would help if you are iron deficient which may or may not be the case with your anemia.
I think at this point you deserve some pampering. Where is Cleaning for a Reason? Can you get help with meals and such? maybe a neighbor or friend to walk the dog?
I also liked the suggestion of acupuncture and the naturopath.
