Exhaustion


OMG, I have been so exhausted lately. I typically fall asleep with the kiddos about 8:30. This is seriously cutting into my TV and nail painting time. Add that in with the fact that I've packed on back 20 pounds since my illness in the fall, which I think is due to my lack of energy and general laziness, and I'm not a happy camper. No siree.

Last week I got fed up enough to call my doc and ask for some blood work. I was thinking maybe it was a thyroid problem.

Turns out I have Vitamin B12 Deficiency Anemia. Eureka! There's a reason! I'm guessing my liver infection has something to do with it because from what I read, your liver stores B12.

Hopefully today I'll find out if I need injectibles or oral meds, but I am so so so ready to feel back to normal.

Anyone have any experience with this?

Pin It!

Is that diff from plain old anemia? I've struggled with anemia my entire adult life... hmm... For me, I've always thought constant exhaustion was part of life. No? ;) Actually.. makes me wonder if I should get tested again...? See if anything could help.
