I have a friend at work who has no iron in her blood. She is going through every test you can think of (oncology), and they have found that she is VERY anemic, but she feels great. The only reason that she went to the doc is because she started losing 5 lbs a week, but not eating any different. In fact, she started pushing food into herself to see if it would stop, but it didn't.
Now she has to get iron infusions and they are still running tests, she had a bone marrow test last week, but don't know the results yet. How can you be so anemic and feel so good? She has energy, not weak or tired, alert, etc, and she just can't figure out how she can feel this good without any iron in her blood. Any advice or has anyone felt the same way?!?!?!

hahaha that's rare, probably why there are no responses- whatever your friend has, I envy her- I'd love to feel great with my no iron issue!
Keep us posted, my next test will be a bone marrow biopsy so I'm especially curious about what they found and how horrible the test was or wasn't! :)

It is possible, My 5yr is anemic. But she never runs out of energy. The only thing that alerted us, was standard bloodwork when she turned 5!!!
