hello all,
i have been coming in to chat for almost a week now. perhaps it is time for a more formal introduction...
My name is Lisa, i am 42, i live in northern Iowa. I have two children and 5 step children. Currently living in our house are: my husband, my 12 yo son, my almost 14 yo daughter and my two youngest step children 16 yo boy and 17 yo girl.
I commute to my bookkeeping job which is about 12 miles away.
Last year i because severely anemic, so when i once again started feeling fatigued, headachey, weak and tingly i had my ferritin checked again.
the symptoms increased over the course of a few weeks, seemed to peak and then began to recede. i now, after 2 months, have primarily left side tingling, some degree of cog fog, fatigue.
it was still in the normal range. I asked for blood work on more possible nutritional deficiencies (i had gastric bypass surgery 9 years ago and deficiencies can be common)
all that bloodwork came back normal as well. so, i took the neurologist referal my doctor offered.
my appt in monday, sept 30
coming to this site and chatting with others who know what i am feeling and also know the process involved with trying to figure out all these mysterious things has been helpful in reducing my stress and getting my thoughts in order.
thank you for the warm welcome!
Lisa
