Erik asked me to look at the symptoms for anemia last night, since the doctor was testing for it. I haven't gotten my labs back yet, so I'm hoping that I get those results soon. Part of me is hoping for a diagnosis- because if it's something that's treatable, then at least it's not because I'm fat and lazy and depressed. Anyhow, per Web-MD, yeah, I could have anemia. Mostly it'd be just a deficiency- like Iron or B-12. But. I am exhausted, I do get dizzy, and I have an irregular menstrual cycle. If my thyroid is out of whack, well, that's a symptom too. Oh, and anemia can cause heart murmers. So, January 24th I've got my echo-cardiogram, and hopefully in the next week or so I'll get the results from my lab work.
Of course, the caveat to all of this is that Web-MD typically says that "Oh my god, you're gonna die" to anything, so let's see what Real-MD says first. Trying not to put the cart before the horse here.
