Suggest Treatment For Pernicious Anemia

I have pernicious anemia. Recently, I have been having headaches around my right eye and temple. I also have flushing on that side only that occurs before and/or during the headaches. It is painful to touch that area. My vision is slightly blurred in my right eye. I have strange pain sensations and numbness on the right side of my body. Additionally, my right hand and foot have classical Raynaud's symptoms. This sometimes happens to my left hand and foot, but is almost always happening with the right. My muscles feel weak and I tire very easily. I also have had episodes of muscles cramps and spasms, which at times have seemed to involve my entire body and is very painful. I faint frequently when these things are going on and also faint very easily when I am sick with something as simple as a cold. Standing up and walking 10 feet results in a pulse rate of 125 or higher. My resting pulse rate is usually around 80. What does this sound like? Another autoimmune disorder?

Hematologist 's  Response
Hi,
Sorry, you have been going through a lot. The pain and numbness around the temples,etc could suggest temporal arteritis. You also seem to have features suggestive of autonomic dysfunction. Please a neurologist at the earliest and also follow up with your rheumatologist.
