Celebration!

I had my blood tested last week because the doctor thought I might be Anemic and wanted to test my blood.
I just got the results saying I have an iron deficiency.
I'm so happy because I knew something was wrong. I've had my blood tested numerous times and no one has ever told me I had issues.
He's giving me some medication to take and I'm so excited.
In one week, this doctor has taken care of me and he's not even my primary doctor - he's a sleep doctor.
I went through period where I could barely get out of bed and I craved tomatoes and raw beef.
I thought it was an issue with my iron, but I had my blood tested and no one told me anything.
I looked up the symptoms of an iron deficiency and I have nearly every symptom.
I'm not happy because I have it - I'm happy because I have it and it can be treated.
It feels good when you know something is wrong and someone finally acknowledges it xD
What have you had to celebrate lately?
Were you born in the year of the rat?

I have been where you are and I'm so very happy you have received the help you needed! It's nice to finally know the problem, and even better when it's something so easily treated.

For years, I had thought I was Anemic because of the symptoms, but never had anyone tell me the results of my tests, so I assumed it was normal.
I'm so happy someone finally acknowledged I needed help.
It's only been two days with the iron pills, but I feel a little better.
Probably just my imagination, but u8

The only thing I have to celebrate is I was diagnosed with anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I've struggled for years and finally went to get help. It can be managed with meds and therapy. I'm glad that I'll finally have help managing it.

That's good. I know when I was a kid and started developing depression and anxiety, I didn't know what those even were. I never heard of them. So finding out what was wrong was really nice.
I wish you the best of luck :3

Thank you, I have my first official therapy appointment tomorrow. I started having anxiety and depression when I was 16, and that was 13 years ago. I've been trying to self manage for years but the ptsd didn't happen until sometime within the last 9 years.
