Sideroblastic anemia

I would like to suggest that you go online to Mayo Clinic where they have a long post about SA, including the possibility that Vitamin B6 may help. There are also several other sites with similar information, including our own Association's.

My husband has Refractory cytopenia with multilineage displasia with ringed sideroblasts. He heard about taking Vitamin 6 at the AA/MDS conference in 2005 and started taking it. It has definitely almost completely stopped the decline in his blood counts. If you do decide to try this, don't overdose as it can cause some side effects, including in his case, severe nose bleeds.

Best wishes.
