Iron Deficiency anyone?

Jan 28, 2010

As I have mentioned January is normally when I start feeling sluggish and depressed, but I've been so busy as of late that I haven't had time to be depressed.  And that's a good thing!
I was feeling sluggish, but attributed that to doing so much over the holidays...........the only advice I can give anyone is listen to your body!
At my annual check-up, routine blood work determined that I was extremely anemic.............border line of having to have a blood transfusion.  Looks like a had a good reason to feel sluggish after all.  I had no idea, because I had no other symptoms that I was aware of.  I am now on a severe iron supplement replacement in order to build my red blood cells.  I have an upcoming endoscope scheduled to determine where the blood is going. 
It is so important to keep your regular scheduled appointments, you never know what might be going on.
Hey it's 2010.....be heathly, be happy!
Hugs to all!
