I've been sick lately. /=

I've only been able to draw on some days, because I've been super dizzy the rest of the time. I took a couple different blood tests and finally discussed the results with my primary doctor today. It turns out my iron is incredibly low, along with folic acid (B9), so oxygen is not being properly transported in my blood. I'm taking supplements now + something to help with the dizziness, and increasing my beta blocker dosage since my heart rate is too high. Aside from that I'll also soon see a neurologist and kidney expert due to a couple other symptoms I have, so yeah, that's a lot. I try not to worry too much. The pills against dizziness seem to be helping, so at least I'm feeling a bit better now. Just a random health update. 🌃

Glad the pills are helping some!

@Mindful Yeah, they don't remove the dizziness completely but they make it so I can get out of bed and actually do things. They're just masking the symptoms though.

Yeah, low iron can do that!

@Wiseacre I wonder if it normally comes out of nowhere like this? The dizzyness I mean, or if it's not supposed to happen gradually?
