Anemia will make it dangerous for you to fly. You don't want that.

Anemia means you have to take iron pills. Not dangerous. BTW anemia
in women is NOT considered the major problem it is in men.

Exactly. I know what causes my anemia (what woman doesn't?) and it's
very well controlled if I take a multivitamin. I'm also aware that I
feel hypoxia earlier tha most, and fly accordingly.


Yeah, guys just don't seem to get it! Ron's Dr. freaked once over his
blood levels, but I think Ron had forgotten to tell him he had donated a
pint of blood the day before :-). Now if you have one of the more
serious anemia type things, it's a different story.

Moral of the story. Don't forget to take your mulivitamins before a Dr.
visit and get plenty of rest. Hope you find a root cause of your fever
that is simple.
