Talked to My Doc, Feeling Much Better.
Posted: 10-05-07 10:30am

Lately I've been insanely tired. I sleep way more than ten hours a night and wake up dizzy, tingly, headachey and still tired. I talked to my doc today and she's going to start me back on my iron again. I'm going in on Thursday to have my iron tested but she's pretty sure that it's going to be extremely low. She asked me about my diet and I had to admit that I've been eating on average only once a day with no attention to nutrients. Embarassed It didn't even occur to me to think of my iron even though I know that I'm anemic. She was a little miffed with me, I think. Embarassed Ah well, it feels good to know that I'll start feeling better in a week or so. She also told me to pick up some multivitamins if I insist on not eating. I'll pick them up but I've learned my lesson. I'll get back on my high iron diet and stay there this time. I've got my grapefruit juice and spinach ready! And I'm going to cut down on my coffee and tea... Laughing

I'm sorry you're anemic Kay! I'm glad you know you'll be feeling better (that's always a relief) and I hope you feel better soon! It's no fun feeling dog tired while chasing a 1 year old all over.

Ugh I know the feeling. I have been lagging on taking my iron and have been feeling the effects lately. I hope you feel better soon Kay!
