I'm going to have tooth extraction last 2020 and the dentist ask me to have CBC. There I found that my red blood cells is below normal range so I found out I'm anemic but I don't feel weakness. I just notice my lips is pale and not red.
I don't want to take iron supplements I just feel sick when I take it. When I go to the doctor instead of iron supplements she gave me mecobalamin I think is a form of vitamin B12. After a week of taking it my red blood cells count improve.
Good thing yesterday I ask the generics pharmacy if they have mecobalamin. It is available but a bit expensive.
It is my goal now to cure my anemia.

I guess iron supplements are a much better and cheaper too. But you have to watch out because there are times that overdose of it can also be detrimental as well. There is a certain amount of iron that a body can handle. Also they say eating liver can also help and eating green and leafy vegetables can also help.

I love to eat liver. I may just take it 3 times a week and not everyday

@averygirl72 Yes you do not have to eat it every day since you need to balance everything out in your diet.

I feel better my only concern is my lips is pale. I hope I can solve it. It is difficult if my red blood cells continue to drop

@averygirl72 I think that will probably resolve on its own.

That’s awesome what she gave you helped. That’s unfortunate it’s so expensive though. I’m anemic to due to not eating meat.

I think I heard that if you are not eating meat. It's really a bit expensive so I won't take it everyday.
