Just been told I have this, after my 28 week blood tests. Been taking iron tablets now for 5 days, and gorging on steak, broccoli and Guiness virtually every meal...but no improvement, if anything it seems to be getting worse.
Am now losing feeling in my lower legs in the evenings, have almost constant chest pains, breathlessness, and can't stand up or walk round for longer than 10 minutes. Am also stupidly confused and muddled all the time, and keep forgetting the simplest things.
Feeling all stressed and anxious with it, as it's Christmas on Friday, my house is a tip, I have only bought half the presents...seeing as I can't even seem to get upstairs without collapsing in a heap, not sure how I'm going to tackle the shops!
Anyone got any tips or advice? Will it get better? Am I just feeling sorry for myself??!
