anemic....maybe

[jacobsproudmom]

I think that i may be anemic...my skin is discolored a bit or so everyone is telling me. My MIL and DH have been telling me that my skin looks discolored and with white parts..i might have some white but its from not eating healthy....I think...I dont think that my skin is yellow its not my regular color but its not yellow. I have been more tired and dizzy lately. I might be a bit sick but no to that point. I dont think so. The way that I see it is if I can still get around then I am not sick. And I can still get around. so I dont think so. I am 10 pounds under my regular weight. My clothes are bigger but that is because they dont fit. I barely fit a size 3 barely!! I eat when I can which is usually is once a day or sometimes twice. My daddy told me today that he is worried about me because even though I am naturally small I am smaller than what i am. He said that I look sick.  They want me to go to the doctor but i dont want to. One i dont have insurance and two i dont like doctors. I dont go unless I have to go. 

For the past month or so I am more weak..I think that its because of my lack of sleep. Usually after 4 pm I get a bit breathless. I am forever taking Tylenol for my headaches. I dont think that its related but I am putting what I have been feeling.  I dont sleep much maybe 2-3 hours at night and sometimes half an hour during the day but that is rare.  I lose my train of thought faster than before. I always had that but I have noticed that its happening more often recently. Maybe its stress. Yes that is what it is, at least I hope so...I havent got my period but I think that its because of my breastfeeding but with my first son I didnt get it until the 6 month and then off for a  few months.  My stomach is always hurting like on the sides but I think that its because of hunger....Oh, i just remembered last week i threw up a bit but it wasnt much. it was maybe 4 ounces..

i dont know..what do you think???? I'm confused....

I know that you don't wanna hear this but you NEED to go to the doctor.  The symptoms that you are having are not normal.  If you are anemic you can get vitamin B shots (which do not hurt a bit) and they will help you feel much better.  Is there anything else unusual going on in your life?  If so that could be causing you to stress out and that alone can cause weight loss.  If you are not eating then of course you are going to lose weight as well.   I am only a fitness instructor, not a doctor so I cannot help you put the weight back on until you talk to a physician because I don't want to hurt you or something.  Once you find out what is going on I may be able to help get you on track, but Please for the sake of your child see one.  You don't want something to happen to you.  Feel free to contact me anytime.  Good luck!!!
