Well, I have these kind of symptoms, and the worst of it seems to go with the anemia. When the anemia clears up, I feel better. However, I also have Parkinson's disease, so some of the fatigue and dizziness are due to that; it's a little confusing.

Fatigue and dizziness seem to be typical symptoms of anemia, the severity depending on how low your hemoglobin is.

I hope you feel better soon. Watch out when you stand up; go slow!

Hey there, I hear you when you say stand up slowly!!! I will let you know if i find a cure for that fun little symptom!

BEING TIRED I DO BELIEVE IS ONE OF THE MANY SYMPTOMS,AN THE DIZZINESS IS ANOTHER ONE WATCH OUT FOR LIGHTHEADEDNESS AS WELL I HAVE HAD ANEMIA FOR YRS AN JUST WHEN I AM TOLD THAT IT IS GONE AN I AM FINE IT COMES BACK WORSE AN MEANER THAN BEFORE SO BECAREFUL WHEN DOING ALOT OF THINGS

TAKE CARE AN DO WHAT U ARE SUSPOSE TO AN DON'T DO TO MUCH,TAKE VITAMINS OR WHAT EVER THEY TELL U TO DO

i was really tired to
i felt like the little jobs my mum asked me to do were the biggest jobs ever i didnt want to move i was forever asleep
i turned really pale
and fainted when i was in school
thats when i got told about my anemia
im sure you wil be ok though
dont no if that was any help.

I started losing energy and wasn't nearly as social and wanted to nap/sleep alot instead.
A big factor in mine was I was ALWAYS freezing and craving ice chewing. I would drive around with a sweatshirt on or where they around the house with blankets also when it was 72 degrees inside just because I always had the goosebumps.

for all u ppl who say you have no energy suck it up trust me you make it worst then it is i get blood transfusions every month and my Hemoglobin is always 8.0 to 10.0 it should be 14.0 and my dad has this to we play we work and everyday i make it the habit at school to take the stairs (150 of them)

Your symptoms do sound familiar with what I felt prior to being diagnosed with anemia. I would definitely recommend seeing a Dr. They could possibly give you different types of iron and adjust as necessary.

I would NEVER recommend anyone to "suck it up"!!!!! I myself did that blaming my being tired and listless on being lazy, the summer heat ext... When I finally did see a Dr. They sent me directly to a hospital my hemoglobin was 3.7 they have no idea why but it was so low they had to give me a transfusion before they could even draw blood to type me. The Hematologist I saw was amazed that I didn't pass out or have a heart attack already since I had no blood for my heart to pump. Listen to your body. Woman in menstrual years have it a little worse.

For now take it slow getting up and hopefully the lightheadedness wont be so bad.
I know how hard it can me I have to give myself B12 injections and have transfusions as well as iron infusions regularly. Its not my first choice of how to spend my days but it has helped so much with my daily quality of life.

I hope you feel better soon.

personally I just do what needs to be done even if it aint the best chocie. I know when i follow through with comments on days i am exuasted i normally feel worse. Today i didnt feel like working on bus but a comement is that and so did it and am even more exuasted and i even took a nap
