Let Me Help You Take Back Control
If you're struggling with fibromyalgia, you're not alone. With 23 years of clinical experience, I’ve seen a pattern over and over again—something most doctors completely overlook: Subclinical Anemia.
What is Subclinical Anemia?
Most people think anemia is only diagnosed when their iron levels drop below a certain threshold. But here’s the truth: Anemia isn’t just black and white.
When I analyze blood work, I don’t just check one or two markers—I look at 15 different lab markers to truly evaluate anemia. Why? Because subclinical anemia means your iron levels aren’t optimal, even if they fall within the “normal” range.
Why Does This Matter for Fibromyalgia?
Studies show a strong link between fibromyalgia and anemia. If your iron levels are on the low end of normal, your body may not be getting enough oxygen to your cells—which can make fatigue, brain fog, and pain even worse.
How Low Iron is Keeping You Stuck in Pain
✅ Low iron = low oxygen → Your muscles, brain, and nerves struggle to function.✅ Fatigue and weakness become your daily battle.✅ Doctors miss it because they don’t check all 15 markers.
Are You Being Overlooked?
If you have fibromyalgia and haven’t had a thorough anemia workup, there’s a high chance you could have subclinical anemia.
