A member asked:

I've had severe anemia and an extremely low hemoglobin level for 5 years. how can i treat and possibly cure this condition?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Iron: But first, you need to find the cause. Are you bleeding, destroying your blood, or not making blood. The most common cause is that you are losing blood. You need to talk with your doctor. Hope this helps.
