I'm exhausted because I have anemia.

Im perpetually exhausted. It's no wonder why I can't make it through a day without napping. Explains the bruising and heart palpitations too

Are you taking meds for this? Ever had it intravenously?

I feel your pain it's an on going battle for me too. 🤗 I hope you feel better soon xx
@Mellowgirl I was taking ferroheme via IV for awhile for mine, turns out my low iron may be from an anticoagulant I was taking to prevent future blood clots.

@NativePortlander1970 Jesus. That is so wild. If this is true I am so glad they have figured it out. This is the start to them fixing this.
Have you got support for the interim time?

@NativePortlander1970 I actually thought you were the poster... I hope @buriedalive is ok.
@Mellowgirl I hope so very much too
@Mellowgirl I figured it out on my own when I got the results of my last lab results in august compared to the ones from late last june for my iron count.

@NativePortlander1970 wowza who would have thunk it!
I bet they were totally flabbergasted!
It's weird working in professions like health. You carry out your lifes work to a standard of following the book, studies and experience, then one day someone comes along and boom it throws everything off.

Stressful for patient and staff.

We are so lucky to live in a 1st world.
