Hard to train while anemic...

So I saw my Oncology Nurse Practitioner last week because the last few times I was in she said I was "borderline anemic" and she wanted me to follow-up with her at a later date. Lately I've been feeling even more worn out than usual so I looked up the symptoms of Anemia on webmd.com and what do you know? I've got lots of them. Have had a few of them for a very long time.

So I go back in last week and say, "Remember how you mentioned possibly doing IV Iron if I'm still anemic? Well I think we should do that."

And she replied, after looking at my test results, "Yeah. I think we probably should. You're definitely anemic."

No IV Iron yet, she's still running a bunch of tests and waiting to get some results first I think. The lab had to take another couple of vials of blood from me to run the additional tests so I got stuck twice that visit. I've been hoping to hear something soon because I had really expected to get the Iron infusion last week, during my visit. I was hoping she'd say, "Yep - let's do that right now." because then I'd feel better. Why she didn't I'm not sure, probably because she wants to run those tests first. She did say they were checking something, my "Iron Stores" I think, and that if those were really low she'd get me in for the infusion and not wait for the other test results. So maybe my stores are ok. All I know is I feel run down most of the time and don't have a lot of energy. I get tired very easily and that's no fun. :P

Good thing training hasn't officially started.
