Hi there again. Following up on Jose's comment, I was found to be moderately anemic, until my hematologist - whom I see for an unrelated issue - put me on Vit. B-12 (1,000 mcg./day) and then my level of hemoglobin suddenly shot up into the normal range. I also started putting on a little weight again, which in my case was a disappointment, but to each his own. Interestingly, the hematologist thought that all of the drugs that I'm on could have triggered the anemia in the first place.

So, yes. By all means get checked out for anemia.

Mike
