The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

As far as my health goes, today is a crappy day. :(





The arthritis in my ankles is really acting up today. Walking around the kitchen to make dinner was excruciating, and trying to climb the stairs just now to put my kids to bed was damn near impossible. I had to crawl up them on my hands and knees. The kids thought it was funny, but for me, it was humiliating. Normally I'm pretty lucky and only one joint bothers me at a time, or two different ones, like an ankle and a wrist. Having both ankles act up at once is awful.





On top of that, my iron levels still aren't back to normal. As it stands right now, if my iron drops any lower, I'll have to have a blood transfusion. For some reason, the iron supplements I'm taking just aren't working. I've been fighting with low iron for years. It seems I'm finally losing the battle. Low iron isn't so bad, I suppose, but I'm always so tired and I'm weak. I can barely make it through the day without falling asleep. Right now, that's not too bad, considering my younger son usually takes a nap after lunch, but this is my older son's last week of school. I can't just fall asleep when he's home. I'd feel like a horrible mother if that happened.





I know I should be glad that things aren't worse than they are. I could have some incurable disease. Honestly, with the way I feel right now, I just can't be glad about it. I'm only 30. I shouldn't feel this crappy so young in life.
