Well, I went to the doctor last week about my tiredness and falling asleep. She told me to go see a sleep specialist, to knock out Narcolepsy. But, we did lab tests too.
Based on the lab results, it's starting to look like I don't need to go see the sleep specialist after all.
I am anemic! (Not really something to be excited about, but thankfully it's something I can try to fix! And it's nice to have answers).
Basically, my iron was 35 and average is 37 - 170 and ferritin levels are supposed to be 5 - 204 (I read somewhere that people like you being at 100) and I was 6.
This really dropped since the last time I had this done.
So, it's no wonder I'm having problems!
And all this fatigue is really making my mood swings not so great recently.
Does anyone know what kinds of foods are high in iron? I don't like most vegetables, mostly because my tummy can't really handle them...
I am taking an iron supplement now as well, but I need to start adding more iron to my diet (which really shocked me, because I am the ONLY ONE in my family who eats meat and I love eating beef).
Thanks!
