I am already to wing my own place. I haven't done it before. There were always friends to rely on. Maybe sometimes it is just the company. I have to put things in perspective. I made a couple of posts that probably made no sense. Nobody really got the gist that the guys that I live with are supposed to be a threesome dating situation is not a sexual situati...

I've been suffering for years & I'm scared that the endrimetiosis will grow back and it may cause problems when I do decide to have children. All my family are saying that it's nothing & that people have oper...1 Comment -

Anemia Information
Anemia (or anaemia), which literally means "without blood," is a deficiency of red blood cells and/or hemoglobin. This results in a reduced ability of blood to transfer oxygen to the tissues, and this causes hypoxia; since all human cells depend on oxygen for survival, varying degrees of anemia can have a wide range of clinical consequences. Hemoglobin (the oxygen-carrying protein in the red blood cells) has to be present to ensure adequate oxygenation of all body tissues and organs.
The three main classes of anemia include excessive blood loss (acutely such as a hemorrhage or chronically through low-volume loss), excessive red blood cell destruction (hemolysis) or deficient red blood cell production. In menstruating women, dietary iron deficiency is a common cause of deficient red blood cell production.
Anemia is the most common disorder of the blood. There are several kinds of anemia, produced by a variety of underlying causes. Anemia can be classified in a variety of ways, based on the morphology of RBCs, underlying etiologic mechanisms, discernible clinical spectra, to mention a few.
See more Anemia Information.
