The Plot Thickens!!

Just when you thougth it couldn't get stanger...it does..

Went to my primary care dr last week for follow up on my "depression" and hypertention.

She ran some blood work b/c my stupid feet are still swelling and I feel generally like crap.

So, I get the results in the mail today.

Electrolytes - normal
Blood Sugar - normal
Kidney Function Test - normal
Liver Function Test - normal
Thyroid Function Test - norma
Complete Blood Count - anemic! (WTF???)

OK, I take more vitamins than I know what to do with, among them being a super B complete and a major multi vitamin.

You've got to be kidding right?

From the Mayo Clinic:

The main symptom of most types of anemia is fatigue. Other anemia symptoms include:

Weakness
Pale skin
A fast or irregular heartbeat
Shortness of breath
Chest pain
Dizziness
Cognitive problems
Numbness or coldness in your extremities
Headache

Initially, anemia can be so mild it goes unnoticed. But signs and symptoms increase as the condition worsens

Check on all of the above!

Now I need more blood work to determine why I'm anemic.

I suppose I should be happy, b/c maybe this will fix my general state of yuck. However, it could also be a sign of a much bigger underlying problem. But, one day at a time.

Have a fantabulous day!

Toodles.
