ANEMIA.

my anemia is the worst thing ive ever dealt with oh my GOD. it tops everything else i have. chronic leg pain is NOTHING. npd and other mental issues are NOTHING. COMPARED TO THIS DEMON.

i have terrible iron deficiency. i have all of my life since my mother had it too, and the reason why it's so severe is because i only got iron supplements around 1-2 years ago, and i got prescribed actual iron pills only these last few months (cant remember exactly when coughcough). my blood pressure is really low, the oxygen in my blood is really low, everything is just severely low, not to mention the fact that i probably have some other sort of illness that affects it too

anemia basically just makes me unable to do anything. i couldnt sit at a desk properly until 2 weeks ago because doing anything but laying would make my blood all pool down at my TOES. im also prone to anxiety (diagnosis level 1023943209 i have every illness ever) so my anxiety attacks mess with my blood levels and ive been late to school before because of them. i love museums and i spend half of my time sitting on my ass instead of looking around because if i stand for more than 10 minutes suddenly every part of my body except from my actual brain is getting oxygen. dont even get me started on heatwaves.

do other people experience anemia like this? obviously some people have to but every time someone mentions that they have anemia they never have any of the symptoms i talk about, or at least have them to a smaller degree, which makes sense because mine was/still is severe. tell me about your iron deficiency fellow anemics
