I was diagnosed as iron deficiency anemic when I was a teenager, apparently I got better - no idea how. I used to have to take iron pills all the time so I can sympathize. Hope you get better!!!!!

First, Props to you for coming out and telling everyone this and I am also flattered that you chose to let everyone on this site know about something that is rather personal.
Secondly, I know exactly what you are going through. I have Sickle Cell Anemia, (both Parent have the trait and guess what, Im the 1-in-4 that contracts it..go figure). Without going into too much detail, this shit bites, I have it alot better off than many people with the condition since I have the finances to get medical attention when i need it, and i am also not suffering from the condition as bad as some others.
I know how you feel when you say you want to find the source of it to return to normal becasue my condition keeps me fromdoing alot of things i like (Physical activity mostly) becasue i almost always end up in the hospital, but one thing i want to tell you is that for me the thing that helps the most is being around people, especially during my crisis episodes, being alone just makes you feel miserable and annoyed and you start askin yourself all those "Why me" questions that you know you either don'y have the answer for, or don't want to hear the answer for. Being with people helps you realise that although you are in a difficult position, life is still good, people still care about you and more importantly it will pass and you will get to go back to the things you love soon enough..
I hope the gist of what i am tryna say is getting across in this choppy unorganized post lol ( I'm in between classes)
I will be back on later to make sense of this lol, until then, Be Easy, take care of yourself.
And If you need to talk to anyone I'm sure you know alot of people on this site you can talk to and if not feel free to come to anyone (myself included)

But at least you know where im coming from ya know? Ive had 1 blood transfusion 2yrs ago & that worked out for me, but now that im in a diff state, they wont do kne for me, even though i told it would be best to do. Lol. But, hey, ever wanna talk, then hit me up. I dont know anyone else that is going through the same thing.
