Iron Deficiency
It’s crazy to think just how much life can change in a year.
A year ago I almost died from internal bleeding
A year ago I was diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia
Is year ago my hemoglobin was at 3.0.0.5 and I had to get 2 blood transfusions
Fast forward - they’ve had me in iron supplements 3x a day for the past year and my levels haven’t changed. My body isn’t absorbing the iron like it’s supposed to. Most people say to take on an empty stomach but I can’t!! I would be nauseous literally all day and it’s the worst feeling ever. I try to eat a snack before hand. With my vitamin c too!
They ordered iron transfusions and so far I’ve had two sets done and get the bloodwork done in 2 weeks.
I really want this to be able to work!!! I’m tired of being so tired and fatigued. With my iron, my ferretin (not sure in spelling) was less than 8. I also have a blood issue so my doctors are hoping if my iron goes up then my body will make blood again . I JUST WANT TO BE NORMAL 😭😖😣
