So I have had zero energy for awhile now. Housework, working out, my weight, everything really has suffered from it. Yet, I am not sure why I didn't think of the problem sooner. I have iron deficiency anemia. This is something I've known now for 9 years. Wow. I can't believe its been that long. Anyways, I digress...
I got this in an email today :

While I do not have any known thyroid issues, everything about the anemia completely makes sense to me in the article. Like getting hit in the head with a ton of bricks, and completely feeling idiotic about it because I should of seen it coming. This describes me perfectly - "I should have realized that feeling weak and tired or not having any stamina during exercise or being winded easily could indicate continued anemia..."
Well there you have it, folks. And its something I should have thought of because I have had this happen time and time again. So while yes there could have been other issues, I am almost 100% certain this is the major root of the problem. I've been there, done that...might even have a tshirt in the back of my closet. So, back on iron supplements, like a good girl, I will go.
Now if only I was good at remembering to take pills...
