#anemic — Public Fediverse posts

I might start getting these soon. 😅🥲

I felt a bit meh during my last few #running races. Could not push hard on uphills and constantly short of breath. So I went to get my blood tests done. #Anemic. Very low iron levels. Very low #hemoglobin. Explains few things. Scheduled on iron infusion and bought 100mg(!) Iron tablets plus #Vegan multivitamin complex.

Don't be like me. Get yourself checked regularly to make sure.

Hey there. What would you say are the symptoms of #anemia / being #anemic ?

Would you have known if you hadn't had the lab work ordered?

What can you do to combat it?

Tell me more when you get a chance if you're able please @aspensmonster

I'm not sure how to find it super quick, but Dec 12-23 (my profile timeline)I was in the hospital trauma ward.

Haven't felt right since then. Now they tell me I'm #anemic
I was down some blood at that time, but it seems like it should have come back by now!

I mean, I was bleeding internally from an artery that was severed from a broken rib.

Anyone think it's possible i could [still] be bleeding internally? Meh. Anything is possible. So that's a trick question. Those LLM's cause me to #trustnoone
What are the psych's going to call that condition 20 yrs from now?

You'd be surprised at how little the Dr's see when you're standing right in front of them.

Sitting here thinking about how physically ill I feel. I don't know how to describe it. What's anemic feel like? I need to look it up.

Doesn't it seem like a doctor should tell the patient some stuff about something like that, vs the patient receiving a call from the lab stating, "it looks like you're #anemic "

🤔

@Rtorres81 I was also diagnosed with being #anemic for me they told me it’s because of a B12 deficiency I have because of being #vegan
It is interesting that it might be a #TransWoman thing

oh I finally got my blood drawn and guess what? I'm #anemic!

my B12 is normal, but low-normal, and my D is also low, but my iron saturation is at 9%, so that's fun! I'm supposed to start vitamin D supplements and my psychiatrist sent a message to my doctor's team about the iron thing

in the meantime, J has also been dealing with low iron/anemia, so they gave me some suggestions about how to deal with that ...

I might be. 🤔 But the sight of #blood makes me faint, so i haven't fed in decades. Which probably explains me being so pale and #anemic. And the dermatologist did say I need to use sunblock even while indoors under artificial light (nah, I don't do it), and to avoid sun exposure (lest I get fried). #photosensitive #vampire #ImKiddingOfCourse 🤪
