Has anyone out there had chronic issues with both of the above and if so can you tell me what the cause was please?

I am 39 and since I had my child almost 5 yrs ago I've ended up with terrible anemia and ongoing oral thrush. The Drs became aware of this a yr ago, they treat my oral thrush with daktarin and keep telling me to keep taking iron tablets and repeating bloods which are very slowly increasing, it was only a month ago I found out about stronger ferrous sulfate whjch the dr then approved but never even suggested!!! I'd seen them 3 times! I felt so much better but I've been away for only 8 days and became so unwell with anemia and candida symptoms, esp noticed bruising again on my legs without any injury and walking the stairs felt abs gruelling, legs like dead weights and so worn out for a while after!

I've been trying to walk/jog for over a mile for the last 3 mths with no joy I'm worn out and I just feel so unwell! Like so tired and worn out it doesn't feel right!

I have sent the gp another note about how bad I feel and I have googled and I'm so worried I have signs of a blood problem as when i first noticed this was when I had Petechia red/purple blood spots on my lower legs I had tons of bruises all over and felt again like dead weights I could t even make the stairs and I went to a&e very concerned who ran some bloods but I don't know which and they put it down to me having taken antibiotics which I had but then I carried on feeling awful and after googling decided it must be anemia so went to drs asking for a blood test to be told it was anemia but what is potentially this constant absorption issue alongside the candida?!

I feel so tired, worn out and done with this
