Iron Deficiency Anaemia??

[ferlew]

For a few years now I have had to attend the local hospital as an emergency because I feel so wretched.
It happens 3/4 times a year, I am very aware when things are not right.
The last two times my Hb has been 5.7, and yesterday 6.0. I feel I shouldn't have to go in as an emergency, but that this could be managed in a day unit with a regular transfusion.
Today I spent 12 hours in there having 2 units of RBC and 1 of iron.
Had cameras up, down and every whichway, I did the recent bowel cancer test and no blood detected there.
Am I missing the point here or what?

Blood picture and tests show that you have an iron deficiency anaemia which is difficult to explain.

No other types of anaemia fit the bill and can be excluded.

It is worrying, but they are the facts.

Let's hope your endoscopy will shine some light on the cause.

Thank you.
