Well I was able to give blood today. Last month they turned me down due to low iron. So I went up to three days a week on my iron pill plus alternating between women’s senior multivitamin and an adult senior multivitamin. The women’s vitamin has iron and more of some things while the adult vitamin has more of different types of vitamins. I figured by alternating them I get the full coverage.
I’m still feeling low though so it’s not anemia anymore. All in all things are going well. There’s no reason to feel down, but then I never did have any rhyme or reason for my mood shifts. I have a pdoc appointment coming up so I can discuss it then. But it’s a manageable down, not horrible, but that’s probably because I’m sleeping alright thanks to meds.
