lymes disease and high RDW .

[sally38]

I have had lymes for years and recently have developed abnormal blood tests where my RDW is high and my hemoglobin and hematocrit is  low.   anyone have anything to say about this?  why the high RDW with the low hemoglobin and hematocrit?  anyone have these exact symptoms?

I have had Lyme for at least 1 1/2 years and I had low Vitamin D 11.8 and a low/normal ferritin at 18 when I was at my worst.  The iron pills were great for me, chromagen forte.

yes, I have lyme too.  Was anemic a few times.  Took iron pills to bring up h & h.  RDW 15.5  but varies with anitbiotic treatment.  Also have many other problems with the lyme or caused by the lyme.
