Hi Dona
I'm sorry, I got a bit confused there (part of my epilepsy unfortunately)
I do get very forgetful and have done for years but like itching I could put it down to either epilepsy or RA. What I do know is that it is all due to side effects from the bloody medication that they make us take.

Thank you for your comment but I was asking about anemia....low blood counts..yes you have to look for humor in all things...enjoy your day and God bless you and your dad!

Hi Dona
I've been having the feeling of amnesia for years. First with my 39 yrs of epilepsy, which led to RA 20 years ago (because all the falls from seizures, led to brittle bones and RA). My dad has alzheimers and when I talk to him, I feel very similar and it's like dumb and dumber (& sometimes I don't know which one is which 🤔😂 it's sad but you have to try to look for a bit of humour

(could) I did not say would

Hi Nick....evidently not...my rheumatologist put me on folic acid when I was on methotrexate...after stopping methotrexate she told me to keep taking the folic acid and am still anemic
