So the other night in hematology, I decided to test my own blood. I now know why I'm always tired. The last few times that I've tried to give blood, my hemoglobin and hematocrit have been on the low end of normal. Now they're below normal. Hello anemia. Yeah. It explains the lethargy that I always have. So yay for iron supplements. Hopefully, I can get those levels back up to within normal ranges. Even after 1 day of taking iron though, I feel a lot better. If my levels aren't up where they're supposed to be next time I get drawn in lab, off to the doc I go. It's nice being able to self-diagnose some though.
