Sorry not to be posting much. My doctor’s office called today and said I have anemia, which explains why I’ve felt so tired and been so cold all week. Apparently it’s also responsible for the rash I’ve had since the beginning of December around my lips, something called Cheilosis. One of the stranger symptoms is wanting to chew ice, which I’ve also been doing since the beginning of December and couldn’t figure out why! I had to laugh when I saw that.
Needless to say I’m suffering the fuzzy thinking and lack of focus as well, which I blogged about a couple days ago, too.
UPDATE – Feb 18:
It really sucks when you get your period on top of already having anemia. I am truly exhausted now.

I had anemia too. But I changed my eating and followed treatment and it made a huge, huge difference!
Thanks, Maryam. I get to have some more tests this week, to see if we can figure out what’s causing it. Right now, I’m trying to eat better and taking some extra iron, which is helping….
