Has Anyone Experienced Low Iron With ET?
I had my 3 monthly check up with my heamatologist yesterday and my iron levels are very low. She wanted to do an iron infusion but I opted for a course of iron meds orallly instead. I have been taking Hydrea for 2 years now and wonder whether this medication can deplete iron? I also take clopidergrel and eliquis as have a history of clots. I am 66.
I haven't had any major bleeds and am post menopausal so wonder why its happening? Any clues anyone?
I have had low iron for years. My hematologist doesn’t seem concerned and doesn’t want me taking iron. I have ET but wasn’t diagnosed for years even though my platelet levels were high.
