Anyone else know someone with this problem?
My BIL has inexplicable low hemoglobin. Doctors are "baffled." But then there's this.....

I wonder what it could be???
As a matter of fact, I do know someone who's had low hemoglobin -- and they're fully vaxxed to the max. They've been through all sorts of tests and...the doctors are baffled. Surprise, surprise. I recently found out they've been dealing with this for a year and have spent a good chunk of it sleeping. They are now getting injections of iron just to have enough energy to do anything, but it has helped a lot.
is he getting B12 also? Is it pernicious anemia?
I don't know what the exact diagnosis is and I didn't hear them mention anything about B12. It was definitely a case of low hemoglobin, though. They told me it went down to 7.
My BIL was just under 6. They gave him a transfusion and sent him home eventually. Had a bone marrow and he swallowed a camera, didn't find anything else.
The person I know had a colonoscopy (came back negative), and a couple of other tests that I can't remember now.
