Weak, Shaky, Rapid Heartbeat, Intolerance To Even Standing

Type 1 and LADA

My awesome PCP found my iron levels are extremely low @ 18. Hgb only 9.7. Resisted iron supplements due to side effects/intolerance in the past. But he rx’ed a different kind of iron that doesn’t affect me at all! Now able to stand for up to 5 mins and feeling SOOO much better. I’d had zero stamina.

Just posting this in hopes of helping others who were dx’ed late in the game as I was.

(They used to give blood transfusions if hgb less than 10, but new protocol says 8)

That certainly can explain just totally not having energy and being tired.

I would give you some of my blood if you want, my Hgb is 18 and I have to give blood every eight weeks like clockwork.

Lol! Thank you! I had no idea why I felt so dead. Hope my post helps others!

Jeez - you have twice the hgb I do!!
