Could I Be Anaemic?
11 Answers
I have blood tests done every month because of the medication I'm on, (Methotrexate) and for the last 3 months my Hb has been 112.
As I've been very tired of late I wondered if it's because of this? Thanks for any replies. x

Have you had your vitamin D level checked? I've had low levels which have made me feel really crappy.
Could it be related to your underlying condition which you take the methotrexate for? It made me feel very nauseous initially and I had bad heartburn and horrible shooting pains when I was on it but had to come off due to liver issues with it. Can't remember feeling more tired but I am usually really tired with RA and other conditions anyway.

Thanks for your answers. Perhaps it is the Methotrexate, and perhaps due to the fact I've just come off Prednisolone?I don't remember feeling this tired when I was on the steroids.
Eve I'm due to have my Vitamin D and Calcium levels checked very soon before I have a Denosumab injection for Osteoporosis, so will wait to see what that brings.x
