I start crying everytime I need to state a problem.

I have a terrible relationship with my mother. Last night I told my father that I needed to get a blood electrophoresis done (as per doctor's instructions) and she started saying that I don't eat well and havnt been taking my medicines properly and basically denying that there could be a different cause (since I eat whatever anyone else at home eats). I always end up with a lump in my throat and ringing in my ears and can't defend myself and just go to my room to ugly sob lol

Basically a blood test to measure the specific proteins in the blood. Did your doctor tell you what they're looking for?

[OrganicSprouts in reply to bethelbee]

Yeah basically abnormal hemoglobin count cos I'm always anemic and dizzy with an incredibly high heart rate

[bethelbee in reply to OrganicSprouts]

Hope they can get to the bottom of it and you start to feel better!! Have they checked your iron levels?

[OrganicSprouts in reply to bethelbee]

Last time I checked it was 8 but I havnt got it checked recently. Thank you sm for your concern

[bethelbee in reply to OrganicSprouts]

You may need to get it rechecked. 8 is low. I was anemic for a while and had to get iron infusions which rapidly increased my levels.

Ugly sob lol 😂 Pretty sure I did that all day yesterday and I have the puffy eyes to prove it!

Your comment about not being able to defend yourself struck a chord with me. I have to defend myself constantly to my husband (which is sooooo not in my nature). I joke that he requires an APA cited research paper out of my mouth when I speak. It’s exhausting and to be honest, it’s easier to just isolate. I’m still working through these issues as well so I just wanted you to know you aren’t alone in your frustration and pain. (((Hugs)))

Thank you so muchhhhh. I hope the situation with your husband gets better. Lots of loveee

I am so sorry for what you are going through 🙏. Sometimes when it is bad at home I cry in the shower. Then I turn on my Alexa speaker to try to distract myself and sing to my favorite song. Low Iron is a tough thing. Some days I take two iron pills, but iron affects people differently. So best to ask your doctor if that's the issue what the doctor recommends. Sending big hugs

[OrganicSprouts in reply to Lve2dance]

Yeah especially with the confusion and heart palpitation that comes along with it. Have a great day 🥰🥰🥰
