Specializes in Psychiatry

Anemia?: I notice that you in your list of conditions you describe anemia as a condition you have. I was wondering if you have been maintaining follow ups on that with your diagnosing physician? If it is has been a while since you have last had blood work you may want to explore that and a blood test for a high TSH for thyroid problems. It could also be depression. Get checked out by your doctor!
