Anemia Support Group
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.

I do, but it's gotten better. I've worked on drinking lots of fluids beforehand making it easier to draw my blood and to always keep breathing. They said sometimes I would kind of hold my breath a little which would make it come out alot slower. I still feel kinda dizzy at times tho.

I do not and I have it drawn all the time . Make sure you are hydrated and is it maybe because you are fasting? Talk to you Dr about this and hang in there

Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
