A member asked:
I have anemia from 2 weeks. hemoglobin hgb is 6.9 g/dl. i'm taking some vitamines(c,b1,b6,b12) but i don't want to be a fat lady.what can i do or take?

Go to your doctor: A hemoglobin of 6.9 is pretty low. Taking vitamins won't really make a difference. There are many, many causes of anemia and you likely need to have further work up to make the correct diagnosis. After that the proper treatment can be initiated.
