I'm here. Sorry I can't keep up with threads these days. Still have iron-deficiency anemia. The doctor put me on iron pills, and I guess I have to take those a few weeks, and they will do more bloodwork to see if I'm not consuming enough iron or if I am not absorbing iron properly. I never have had fantastic iron levels, but I've never been anemic this long or to the point of having ice-eating pica. I want to eat crushed ice all day, every day, it's crazy. My PCP referred me to a hematologist, but my appointment with him isn't until May 7. I do follow up with the GI doc this week. I think this hiatal hernia he's found is giving me some issues too.

I'm just exhausted. And having trouble complying with taking my Seroquel as prescribed, which gives me bouts of mania or hypomania when I'll do stupid things (overspend money) or become consumed with vaccuuming the house, not caring how many hours it's putting off lunch. I don't want to eat much as I'm pretty much nauseous all the time now. It makes cooking hard.

I'm tired, slipping into depression this evening. My T is off this week. Maybe the GI doc will suggest something for the anemia or at least the stupid constant nausea. I'll see on Wednesday.

I'm just so exhausted, sometimes having a hard time breathing, and yet many nights I still have insomnia. I am ready for this to be over. I really want some answers. I don't want to have this be some medical mystery. Just tired.
