I hope it does, too. Both issues are very good reasons to be feeling the way I have for so long. I hope that, soon, I am back to my old self. I miss that me!
As for the anemia, she had to draw folate, B12, serum iron, and maybe ferritin, though I am not sure that one was ordered. I am reasonably sure it's IDA. It's not blood transfusion low or anything. It's just been consistently low every time it has been checked. I'm probably not replacing those stores readily enough. I'm not much on beans, cereal, red meat, or most meats really except chicken, of course. And I tend to consume a few iron absorption inhibitors(Coffee! Tea!) while not being overly fond of a great source of Vitamin C (orange juice), an absorption enhancer. It's just not something I ever want, except when I was preggers and wanted it constantly.
