Update…hospital? Anemic? UC…

Ok I’m tired…always tired. Here’s the thing in less than 7 days I’ve been to the hospital 4 times.

Went there for a check up. I’ll explain that in another post.

Everything is fine except my iron is severly low so I had to do more tests. Only to find out well I’m losing blood.

Almost no one knows this besides my family and very few friends. Right now I don’t care anymore. It is what it is.

I have UC-ulcerative colitis so I bleed internally from ulcers. I know wahh? Look it up to find out what it is exactly.

I had it since I was 18. So…found out about it 6 years ago? It’s not going away. Anyways had meds went through a lot. Lost friends, a lot of blood was really sick, lost insurance & blah blah blah.

Had moments during one summer where I couldn’t go anywhere on the weekends because I was so tired and started freezing. It was 100+ degrees outside yet I felt like it was -40 and couldn’t stay awake for anything.

Stopped taking meds that the doctor gave because they made me feel like crap. I was just tired of everything. Like what was the point? As soon as I did I started feeling better.

Go figure.

I had to watch everything I ate because some things brought too much pain but my main trigger is stress. Like when I get stressed out a ton that’s when I start bleeding. The more stress the more I lose blood. In which I lose iron hence the anemia. Totally crappy but it is what it is.

I was fine and in what they call remission, but have been stressed out a lot in the past few months so I’m having a flare up. Joy~

It explains why I can’t be in the heat too long and why I’m super tired almost all the time. My body can’t keep up making what it’s losing. I have to take it easy. In which I think I’ll be staying home more for awhile. *sigh*

Until next time~
