Today

I went to the lovely ....once a year ....doctor that I am required to go to and am having my hormones regulated.....YEAH!
I dont know why it creeps me out to go to a male doctor for those wonderful exams but it does. I have always gone to a female but this time I didnt really have a choice unless i wanted to wait until next year.
The experience wasn't as traumatizing or as painful as I thought it would be. He was okay. He didnt give off a creepy vibe.

He did question my calcium intake and that caught me off guard......I told him 2-3 glasses of milk a day, yogurt or cottage cheese at least a cup for breakfast and usually have cheese with dinner. He said that should be enough. He said he noticed my calcium deficiency marks on my nails.
Hmmmmm.....he said maybe take an extra calcium pill besides my multi-vitamin.

For the past two weeks or more I have been very lethargic. I feel as if I could sleep all the time. It isnt just tired or lack of sleep it is fatigue.

I have always had an anemia issue my entire life and I randomly wake up with bruises in random places.

I take iron pills and i do eat meat or beans despite what people think about my diet. I AM NOT A VEGETARIAN.

I think the problem lies in that my stomach does not absorb the iron or B-12 normally like it should. I am having constant fatigue and exhaustion issues.

So I am going to try B-12 vitamins along with the iron and see what happens in the next week or so. If that does not work then I have to look into either a prescription sleeping pill (which I hate those) or injecting myself with B-12 everyday. Lovely.

It is a serious problem........I am not narcoleptic and yes I do have insomnia but lately it seems I am sleeping more than less.

I feel a lack of energy.......and no I am not depressed.

I just want to know what is wrong with me. :(
