When I last saw Rheumy, my blood count was not improving, so he wanted to make sure that the lupus was not attacking the red blood cells. He ran a few more tests and just called to say that the results came back okay. He thinks it may just be anemia of chronic disease, meaning that the lupus is affecting my body's ability to produce red blood cells. When my lupus symptoms improve, my anemia should improve. To be sure, he is setting me up with a hematologist (which I will nickname "Hemey").
