Hi. I'm or was a high level tennis player and I think my age and labs have finally caught up to me. I've been tested for every possible cause there is for the mild anemia I have had all my life, and now I find myself getting tired on the court playing with people older and seemingly in worse shape than me. My Hb hit a new low of 11.1 recently, with the others similarly low, just above moderate level. My doc is saying eat red meat, Vitamin D, B 12, and all these things I know won't work because I have tried them before. I suspect I was just born small boned and not producing enough RBC for a guy. Can anything be done to improve my stamina, and improve my longer term prognosis as a senior with currently mild almost moderate anemia?
