There's like 60% chance that I've got anemia. I'm thinking about going to the doctor and take a blood sample, and see if I should start eating more... My apetite is really... Small, but thats not the only symptom, I can tell them you if you really want me to.

Note: btw, this may affect my emotions, I may appear very angry sometimes.

Go get a blood test, then

Go get a blood test, then you'll be sure. Smiling

It really isnt much to worry

It really isnt much to worry about. I am severely anemic and only get grumpy when I havent had enough Iron. By now, my Boyfriend knows when I am experiencing anemia by my look and actions and he will tell me to go eat, or bring me something such as Dark Chocolate (about 60% Cacao) or Almonds, each contain Iron and are quick to get in to my system.

Some symptoms are raccoon-eyes (dark circles) fresh cuts that dont bleed (they just raise up) coldness of the body and extremities (You are cold all the time, especially your fingers and toes and after you eat) and paleness of the skin.

It is easily manageable and you can grow out of it if it is not hereditary, and both are manageable. Just eat your dark greens (Spinach and stuff like that, best not cooked) Your RED MEATS! (Steak, medium rare please!) and your nuts.(almonds are chock-full of iron)

You dont really have to eat a lot, but you have to eat whatever has more iron.

Plus, have you been eating Ice lately? It's a craving symptom.... I used to munch on ice all the time.

Note: Being a Vegetarian with Anemia is bad. My doctor asked me if I was a Vegetarian when she diagnosed me and then was VERY happy I wasnt, because sometimes a Vegetarian diet is low in iron, or very difficult to manage without eating more than normal every day. Red meat is an Anemic's best friend... just a note ^^

BY THE WAY AGAIN! Carnation Instant Breakfast drinks are full of Iron and I used to drink them all the time until I got myself regulated.
