Well I guess I spoke a bit too soon. My health issue is still ongoing. I figure I should let you all know what's been going on.
So first of all about 8 or 9 years ago, I was diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia from my heavy monthlys.
And I had been taking iron pill supplements for about 2 years after I'd been diagnosed.
And I started feeling a bit better. But the pills were horrible on my digestive system, so I stopped taking them.
And it occured to me just now, that I probably stopped taking them too soon. And I never told the doctor.
And now 6 years later, my levels have either dropped again, or never stopped dropping. I tried to eat an iron rich diet and thought it was helping. But... that is clearly not the case.
So I have been dealing with too many anemia symptoms lately, like no energy, fatigue, weakness, dizziness, irritability, insomnia, hypersomnia, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, nausea, and many many migraines. These symptoms pretty much started 2 years ago maybe 3 and it never occured to me why.
So I found an alternative and I've been taking a liquid iron supplement, and things are going half well. I'm starting to feel a lot better, but there still setbacks.
I still wake up short of breath weak, and nauseous some days, today I woke up extremely dizzy and nauseated. Grrreeattt...
But I'm slowly getting better, though I won't know if there's any big improvement until after August. It takes up to 3 months to refill the iron store in your body.
So... yeah that's what I've been dealing with and why posting is very difficult as of late, because I just don't have the energy to post, or even exercise most days.
I just thought I would explain the reason behind my current absence. 😴
I am actually working on another post that I'll be posting later today. 😁
