For three weeks that I’ve been feeling exhausted, physically and psychologically. I thought it was only from having a lot of work in the office, at home, with the kids, but since I was feeling very nauseous, I decided to go to the doctor. She said I was too pale and although on the edge of a depression, something else was going on. Therefore I was told to do some urgent blood tests to see if I was anemic.

The result was that I’m on the beginning of an anemia and the iron reserves in the body are too low, really too low. I have to make a 2 months treatment based on nutritional supplements and then do the blood test again. The case will be reevaluated in two months if I don’t get worse. Supplements might not be enough to get me out of this exhausted state, but, I hope so.

So, if you’re feeling down, tired, nauseous, don’t blame only stress, do some blood tests and check if all the values are normal.
