[|Human|] yes my name billie lively and my dr said my red blood cells were small, which is an anemia disorder but I do not know what kind of anemia I have.........my new blood work shows that im not anemic anymore but my red blood cells are still small and so I was told to continue my iron medication........what does this mean?
[|AI|]  Hello Billie welcome and than to choose Chat Doctor for discussion of your problem. First I want to tell you that no need to worry about this problem. In medical terminology we called it microcytic red blood cell. As you told that your new blood work is not showing any anemia its mean that your blood picture is improved than earlier. Now you should continue iron therapy to restore your iron storage of body and repeat blood investigation after one month including peripheral blood film for anemia.It's because after taking iron our blood picture improve, but body requires more iron to make storage of iron as previously. Whenever any doubt arise in mind you can ask anytime.
