That is so alarming… what if it will happen to everyone? Anyway, I also have anemia and its disturbing me too a lot especially when I have my menstrual period I really feel so week and dizzy. I can’t concentrate on work and everything. I am also grumpy.

That’s so scary! I’m glad they kind of have things figured out.

Yikes!! That’s scary that you weren’t notified sooner, but thank God you found out!! My dad had extraordinarily high triglycerides (he learned of this AFTER a mild heart attack) but by adding a fish oil supplement to his diet and simply eating healthier, he saw a drastic reduction in tg’s. Best of luck and good health!

Oh wow. I can’t believe you were never notified about your lab results. That is scary stuff. I’m glad that you were able to get started on meds this time. Hopefully this doctor sticks around for awhile because it sounds like she is on the ball. Hoping everything levels itself out and you start feeling better. Also very thankful that nothing happened to you in these last 6 months from not knowing there was a problem.

That is really annoying that you should have been alerted about the anemia 6 months ago. With the iron supplements you are taking be prepared to be constipated as your body gets use to the dosage. My husband tested for elevated triglycerides recently but he is a piggy and eats a good deal of junk food at work. I think his numbers scared him straight though. I hope this is a good week for you and your health/fitness progress improves your blood work.

I’m glad that you have found out what was wrong but hate that you had to wait so long. I’ve found before that we get so accustomed to how we feel that we almost forget what it feels like to be energetic and healthy. i hope that the iron pills help. Good luck!

Oh I hate when doctors cant communicate to each other, or follow up like they should. Hope the iron pills help! Sorry cant really help with any suggestions.

Sorry to hear about the anemia! I have had anemia but only when I was pregnant and post pardum however, one time in particular after having the baby i found out I was 1 point away from needing a transfusion. SCARY! all I ever did to fix it though, was to take iron supplements,and I would eat meats and foods that were high in iron but if you have had it 2 yrs and as bad as they state then I would imagine there is alot more to it for you. Good luck!!!!
I too go to the health dept for my yrly exams!
