Unbalanced

I've been feeling kooky lately and not in a way that makes me funny, eccentric or entertaining. Kooky in a way that makes me a beast to be around. I think that I'm getting to be a little more than usual anemic. I have had low iron almost my entire life. I inherited this condition from my mother, thanks mom, and I've passed it on to my son Cameron, thanks me. It's not a fun way to be. It gets worse when I'm pregnant and then improves some after delivery, but it never really goes away. I have to take an additional iron supplement besides my daily vitamin to help. My mom is much worse off than me. She's been so low before, that the doctors wanted to do a blood transfusion to up her levels quickly. She's had to have iron infusion treatments where they give you iron intravenously. She's also had to have a several weeks course of high potency iron shots. Nothing really helps that much and is never a long term solution. It just helps her to feel better for short periods of time. I'm not that bad, so I should be grateful. I can just tell that I'm not great at the moment. I've been getting a lot of headaches. Almost daily. I've been feeling very tired, crabby and uber emotional. Just a general feeling of blah. I can think of no better word to describe it. Unless you've been anemic, it's hard to tell you what it's like. Blah is just what it is.

I suppose I should get my butt to the doctor to have my blood drawn and figure this out.
