Soooo, I haven't had my period in 62 days. In eight more days I will have been through two average cycles for me. I have an appointment with the hematologist tomorrow about my ridiculously high platelet count (it's about 3x the normal count, but it's pretty much always been that high) and maybe he can tell me what the hell is wrong with me otherwise. Besides the amenorrhea, I'm tired all the time, I get out of breath easily--I just feel like I can never get quite enough air. Lately I've also been having some nausea. I'm thinking maybe I'm anaemic? I seem to be getting enough iron, though--I've been watching it. I eat tons of leafy greens, and iron-rich foods like beans and TVP, not to mention oatmeal every morning. Plus I take a multivitamin with iron. Maybe it's B12 anaemia? Either way, I'm sure he can tell me on Wednesday. Until then I just have to keep on keepin' on. I hate feeling weak and exhausted all the time, though. I want to be strong and healthy!
