Hi Guys,

I wanted to resurrect this thread to bring up something that's sorta important...

Before my surgery, I was a bit anemic from frequent PLEX and an IViG treatment. After my surgery, I was extremely anemic. While it had started to improve a bit, it suddently started going down again, seemingly for no apparent reason. I was at 80 at one point for hemoglobin.

Anyway, I decided that I needed something fast, and started eating liver 3-times a week, as well as spinach and other veggies high in iron. I also took one tablet of Iron everyday along with vitamin C. My doc. said that it could take 6+ months to get my hemoglobin back to normal.

Anyway, and I think that I may have mentioned this before, my hemoglobin went back up to 120 about a month and a half after my previous blood tests. I was really shocked. My previous blood tests were not wrong, either. I had multiple other tests around the same time that reflected the same numbers.

I told my neuro. about it, and he said that this was impossible and my bone marrow must have been suppressed, and maybe started working again. I thought that this was a bit odd. When I brought it up to my hemotologist, he also agreed that this didn't make much sense and that even if it were true, my hemoglobin couldn't have gone back to normal in such a short period of time. My regular GP didn't seem to care one way or the other (as usual).

Anyway, I really think that it was the liver. Check out this link.

So if you guys ever have issues with any type of anemia, eat liver. It is so nutritious. It is like a godsend.
