Re: sometimes I've just had enough!

A natural way to build red blood cells is to take chlorophyll, or liquid chlorophyll. Also make sure you get plenty of the B vitamins.

Ask your doctor if Aranesp injections can help with the anemia. They are expensive, possible $2k per shot. They are an erythropoetin that is typically produced by the kidneys which stimulates the production of RBCs.

Red meat could help with the anemia, but with the liver challenges you have, I personally would lean toward fruits and vegetables. Especially Spinach, Kale and anything green. They naturally contain chlorophyll and the spinach has iron. Drink as much water as you can. If you can drink Penta water that would be better. It is filtered 11 times and won't have toxins to increase the burden on your systems. Otherwise, try Evian.

Do you have anyone that can treat with acupuncture? Meditate, even if you need a mantra. Pick the most negative thing that scares you. Change it to a positive and repeat it over and over, breathing deeply. Such as "I am healthy".

Have everyone you know pray for your recovery, including us!

Sending loves and good wishes.
