Anemia??
Mar 17, 2011
So I saw my family doctor last night as a follow up to some blood work. I have extraordinarily low levels of B12 and I am anemic.Blah!!
I was anemic when I was pregnant the last time (8 years ago!) but after that I don’t know. I know I have had bloodwork done since then but, did they check for iron and B12? Does this mean I have been anemic for 8 years and didn’t even know it? And BIGGEST question now, will this affect getting surgery??? Will I have to wait longer until it’s balanced out or under control or is this something I will have to deal with forever? Am I stuck now eating liver everyday of my entire life? *shudder* I even LIKE liver…but every day?
I haven’t had much time yet to look into everything, but I guess I will be researching B12 foods, iron and other stuff. It just seems so complicated! Take iron at this time of day with this type of food and this vitamin has to be taken 1 hour before or 2 hours after eating and this one can’t be taken within so many hours of taking this one….my head feels like its going to explode! I feel like I should go back to school and take a nutrition course just to be able to function.
On the bonus side, I lost a half a pound last night and my Honey promised that he would help me sit down and plan out menus and meals for the next 2 weeks.
I need a drink. Is there B12 in wine? How about iron??
