I don't see my rheumo for a few more months but I will ask him to check my cooper, iron & zinc.

In the past I have had issues off and on with anemia. The doctor always up me on iron. I really don't want to do that again so I'm going to start with the B 12.

Thanks!
You really need your ferritin level checked (iron stores). If you are low in iron then you should be taking it...as well as the B12.
