[|Human|] I have been diagnosed with pernicious anemia due to my Crohn s I had to have a total colectomy 5 years ago. I now have absolutely no energy and feel lethargic. I just purchased iron liquid supplement with all the B s and other important vitamins . How do I get more energy and does this progress into a more serious problem if my body isn t producing the proficient amount of RBC s to give oxygen to my blood. What else can I do to help with getting more energy
[|AI|]  Welcome to ChatDoctorAs you have pernicious anemia, you are already taking supplements. So no need to take more pills. You should get few investigations- Serum Fe, B12 and folate levels; as sometimes the supplements are not reabsorbed properly by body. In that case you can get injectables. Moreover, you should take healthy food for more vitamins, minerals and proteins for more energy and also should do some exercise. If your body isn't producing efficient about of RBC's, anemia can progress and can lead to symptoms like pallor, breathlessness etc. Thanks.
