Do you feel as though you have to drag yourself due to the weakness??

yes i just feel exhausted all the time
i had a blood test about a week ago and I got a phone call saying my iron was low :frown:
I have to be honest about the fact that I don't eat properly and I don't drink a lot of water either.

I don't like blood tests, my blood never comes out.

It's kind of similar as there are times when my head starts killing as I get up too quickly.


Yeah it might be


I try to


I lie down on the floor all the time when i'm TSRing or something as such.


I feel like it might be anaemia as I checked the symptoms and I have mostly all of them


Probably is.


Yeah I know.


Samsies, my blood never comes out cuz my veins are small :sad:


But if I drink a lot of water I have to go to the loo more often and that's annoying.


Speak with your GP. Also make sure you're having enough water, I know it's annoying to pee so often, but it really is important and if you're not drinking enough it can tank your blood pressure when you change positions. Get enough in the way of electrolytes as well, it should help some what.
Okay doc :smile:
Yeah, I had tea and biscuits :biggrin:

But what would happen if I don't do anything about it??

Well, I pass out fairly frequently (due to a few reasons) and have almost lost an eye, almost passed out into incoming traffic, made a lot of mess with blood, etc. So if you ever do begin to pass out it would/could be pretty problematic. I understand it's not the most fun thing to manage, but I would get it checked out (screened for deficiencies, etc.) and go from there. Your GP has seen this before (a lot!) lol.



Thanks. :redface: I try to be.

I get it, but it's easier to manage things when they're smaller issues, rather than leaving them, which may mean they get worse. :dontknow:
drink more water and get tested for anaemia.

thanks good,i hope u get better soon
it might be anemia, or it could just be your blood sugar is low. that's symptoms of when a diabetic is having a hypo (don't panic - im not saying you have diabetes!). try eating or drinking something sugary and see how you feel after maybe?
