      From kirlei September 22

      hey michelle...well i have to say im on a downward spiral again ..i had one week where i felt "normal"...went back to normal gp tonight and found out i have Ross River Virus as well, which is a virus that you can get by being bitten by a mosquito. That in itself is causing all sorts of trouble in my body... walked out of the docs and burst into tears..it just seems to be never ending and ur supposed to carry on with ur life as if everything is normal....having a bit of a pity party tonight.. sorry!!

    • Close Anemia
      Type: Iron Deficiency Anemia

      After the birth of my 4th baby almost 6 years ago, I was told my hemoglobin was a 6, my family prac. was concerned about cancer (not the thing to say to a new Mom w/4th baby)! Well, I have been suffering with anemia, severe fatigue, and lack of love of life for about 5 years! I'm needing some support!

      Treatments

      Iron Not Working
      SlowFE did keep me from dipping too low on the 3x per day dosage, but I was terribly constipated! Eventually dropped down to 1x per day and has kept my hemoglobin near 11 but still severely fatigued. Ferritin was a 10 this week. Starting Iron Infusions next week.
