Hi lurker69,

After reading your post I got cholesterol tested for my mother. Turns out she has low cholesterol - 103. She's not been tested for this in a long time, but many years back she had high cholesterol. Maybe, it is something to do with this disease/chronic anaemia.
She is a vegetarian, the only food sources for her are butterfat or similar. Any supplements you know of?
Great that your Hb has increased, keep us posted on the progress and good luck!!
