I have problems with anemia which is completely unexplained. We have ruled out Celiac Disease and I am on a gluten free, dairy free and soy free diet. We know it's not a malabsorption problem from food.
It's not a menstrual problem because I haven't had a period in months and months. After series of iron IV treatments, my Dr. can't seem to figure out what is causing this. He is a really nice Dr. and means well, but can't figure out what is going on.
Well, my LLMD (have only seen him once...but will see him again in Feb.) called and I tested positive for babesia. I have heard anemia is associated with babs, but I am wondering if anyone can point me to info that talks about the connection.
I see the Hematologist on Friday (tomorrow) and I want to be able to show him some medical jargon talking about the connection (in hopes he will be supportive of my Lyme diagnosis )
