Is Low Dose Of Synthroid, Suggested For Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia?
I have been diagnosed with autoimmune hemolytic anemia and when I stopped taking Ginko Biloba it seemed to be getting better. But then my heart was pounding and it looked like my dose of synthroid was too high, so my doctor told me to quit. Since then the hemolytic anemia has been getting worse again. Could it be that I should start the synthroid again but at a lower dosage?

Hi, dear
you have autoimmune hemolytic anemia. So your immune system is working against your own rbcs and causes destruction of rbc. Steroid help to suppress immune system and prevent the destruction of rbc.
You should start steroid according to prescribed dosage. Consult your doctor and start treatment accordingly.
