So anemia as common as it is, its not fun. Like everything its different for everyone, and it sucks! I have zero energy anymore, I am always tired and I can't play basketball right now because its not a smart idea to push it. This is so frustrating for me as I want to be able to practice 100% as much as I don't like the beep test I would love to get to do that, but I can't because I have to be smart and respect my body enough to know not to be stupid when it comes to pushing through things. I have just gotten new iron pills so my body is still adjusting and things are just crazy! I mean as much as I am glad I can connect the dots as to the symptoms I was dealing with then and now, I am also worried as to why I have such low hemoglobin, and where my iron is going, they no longer think it has anything to do with "that time of the month" and so I have had to go for more tests. This all makes sense though because I have realized my fatigue and sometimes light headedness was all because of my anemia and I never realized that I just ignored it and kept focused on my goals.
I am sorry to hear this… it does suck. I really hope they figure out what is happening soon so you can get back to your passion. I give you credit for being mature about it. You're right that everything is different for different people but I wish it was the regular version/cause like we talked about. Trust the process and the people working to make you better. A week can feel like forever when you are waiting for something you love/want but try to see the big picture too. You need to sort this now (and side benefit… rest your knees) so you can have a long and happy career. Stay pos kiddo.
