I Got Surprising News From The Doctor… (Health Update)
Вставка

- This video was a hard one for me to make. If it encourages one person to go to the doctor, then it was worth it.
Also, I want to note that it can be hard to find a doctor that a good fit for you. Just because one doesn't work out, doesn't mean you should never go again. You are worthy of good medical care, and I want to acknowledge it might take some work to find the best fit for you. To find my doctor I did a ton of research using zocdoc and other medical review sites to find a doctor who had a track record of listening to and working with patients. That worked out really well for me.
This is a perfect example how social media can be toxic!
'People look up to me and people listen to me' ... Pleeeeeaaassse.
Why would you say it's none of our business when we did not ask.
You are not a mess, you are getting the help you need. Listen to what your heart and mind are telling you and not anyone else. You are the best judge of your body and how you feel.
I know receiving a diagnosis is scary and you definitely have to process the information. Now that you know your enemy (or are on the way to knowing), you will know exactly where to focus your fight. That can be empowering! I personally found that being able to look back at my life and say “Oh, that makes sense now” to be unburdening. I hope you will too. Much love Anna! ❤
Proud of you for not listening to random strangers and going through all the work to find the right Dr. For you. ♥️
Well said hun
"Now that I feel better, I didnt' know how sick I was" very profound and I found this out for myself several years ago when I did the same thing you just did. Bravo to you! for taking care of yourself and not the needs of everyone else. You're a champ!
A lot of people have this hindsight perspective. Especially when it comes to undiagnosed, chronic illness like depression or the side effects of underlying issues.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Call Dr,Now
I'm so glad you found the courage to go to a doctor. Having a doctor that advocates for YOU regardless of weight is so important. I also think just the shear cost of treatment/doctor visits keeps people away.
He did NOT tell you to eat more he just told you to eat more often. There is a big difference.
I had fibroids that caused me to almost bleed to death. Literally. I was diagnosed with severe anemia & had to have a hysterectomy & get several blood transfusions. The anemia caused my getting Hashimoto's & being exhausted. I am so happy you finally went. Sending you positive vibes Anna!
Damn that’s terrible. Sorry to hear that.
I experienced everything you did minus the blood transfusions. However, I did get a DVT and had 5 days in hospital on IV blood thinner. And 3 more months on Coumadin.
@@karendewillers5190 I feel for anyone going through all of that. Scary times for sure!
I am so sorry that you had to go through all of that. My friend at the age of 19 had to get a hysterectomy because of severe endometriosis, she was in total agony. She was planning her wedding and hoping to hold out. They got married two years later because of other complications.
Same. Since my hysto my quality of life is💯% sooo much better. Doctors and dentists are scary but they’re here to help-most of them. ALWAYS GET A SECOND OPINION!!
As someone with autoimmune disorders, they are exhausting, but can be managed. You will have good and bad days. You have to listen to your body and rest. When your body tells you to rest, you need to listen to it. I had the hardest time myself learning to do that.
I agree completely,, both my kids have suffered with CFS/ME. So we know fatigue! But rest is your friend! That’s how you heal.
Knowing is the first step. You can’t find solutions to what you don’t know.
absolutely! Hashimoto's over here. Tiresome AF
I have RA, fibromyalgia, early onset osteoarthritis, and degenerative disc disease. I'm only 47 and was diagnosed years ago. Some days are harder than others, but you still have to live your life. It is so easy to let the negative of an autoimmune disorder consume you, I try to stay as positive as I can, and make the most out of the good days, so they outweigh the bad.
@@simplyheather865
There is a doc in CA that can treat the fibromyalgia.. let me know if you’re interested in his info
@@Ginmabes Same!
You know you don’t owe anyone an explanation but the fact that you choose to and take the added NON COMPULSORY responsibility of speaking up and sharing such things to inspire and help others is truly so admirable of you♥️
I wish you all your best- and I really like these non-scripted/generic videos where you’re just you and just talking ♥️
❤❤❤
This was terribly vague and has left me feeling 2 words =
confusion
Frustration
Nobody gets to decide what you share. It’s called boundaries. That’s the beauty of owning who you are and knowing who you are. “It’s none of your business” because it’s none of your business. So thankful for this video and the content that you shared. Some of us really needed that nudge. I know I did.
Always listen to your body!! I neglected my body’s inner voice for years, but, when I finally listened, it was almost too late!! I hope and pray you get everything sorted out and get yourself on track!! HUGS!! ALWAYS!!
I'm a physician and I agree with this message!🥰 Our job is to help people feel better and have the best quality of life possible. Sometimes that involves some detective work to find the root cause of the symptoms.
As a dr you are sapose to make us feel better?
What if you cant find a good endocrine dr? Im in bad shape and feel scared and trapped in my body🥺?
Thank you.
You were _not_ stupid - you were scared. 💜And you did go to dr. anyway, so be proud of yourself for that!
Wishing you the best on your way to better health. We're with you! 🧡🧡🧡
Lovely reminder and kind words.
Anna, you are not alone. I have been doctoring for the past 3 years. Tired, no energy, dizziness, loss of balance, joint pain, excessive weight 377 lbs. Finally have a dx of a relatively new condition that has no cure. I look to have a simpler life, and am determined to be content. I appreciate life more now than ever. I hope you aspire for the same.
Preach!!! I have gone through similar situations and I am so happy for you getting to the bottom of the issue(s)! Society as a whole is so ignorant about bodies and how they work, whatever the situation. I keep thinking about the book The Body is Not an Apology - and how that title alone says so much. You got this, and you’ve got plenty of people in the same boat as you and/or cheering you on. Stay gold!! Sending love good, happy vibes from Dallas!
Why did my comment disappear? 🙁
As someone who is a size 28 and has to have an iron infusion 1-2 times per year due to anemia and who also went through hashimotos disease (autoimmune disorder of the thyroid) and thyroid cancer/thyroid removal, and the weight gain that has come from the years of dealing with all of that, it is SO important to have these conversations and make people aware of these things. Sending my love and hope that you keep getting answers for your health. Stay the course 💜
Wow. I could have written this comment myself. Same size, hashimotos, thyroid cancer/removal, weight gain, etc. Hugs to you 😢
I’ve had thyroid cancer twice and I am 140 lbs at 60 years old my first bout with thyroid cancer was age 24 I weighed 120 and was 120 for years I’m 5’7”. I had a total hysterectomy at age 25 with a baby of 6 months old. So there’s that I’ve also had 2 breast surgeries on my left breast. But I have never had a problem with my weight whatsoever.
@@charleysmom1989 really just goes to show you that everyone's journey is different and you can have some of the exact same diagnoses as others and have completely different symptoms! Glad you are still with us to share your story.
@@beccaandre3427 yes that’s right and Thank you. I’m glad I’m still here too. ❤️
I know how you feel. We blame ourselves because others do. I never had energy. Turns out I have narcolepsy and there's probably more going on. I still have no energy.
Don't beat yourself up, girl. Make sure you have a support group and a therapist. Knowing your body is failing you is a tough issue to wrap your head around and I have shed many tears myself. Shout out to the RA, fibro, CFS, and Hashimoto autoimmune chronic pain and exhaustion community! We exist and that's okay.
ND THE lupus community too!
As a plus size older woman I understand the tiredness and the self blaming of failure of not getting skinny. I am now having mobility issues that will effect my last few years in my body.
Thank you so much for putting this out there! I did the same thing and I too found out I had legitimate reasons for feeling the way I did. Dont beat yourself up for too long. We all need you. Now begins the healing process! There's light at the end of your tunnel, I am truly excited for you!! Take care love... 💖
Bless you hun
The honesty of your videos has kept me coming back time after time. This video hit hard! Why is it ok to share an opinion about someone you don’t know just cause they’re on social media? What we see on our screen is such a small snippet of what your life entails. As someone who deals with a chronic “hidden” illness and is plus size I deeply resonated with that anger and frustration you expressed in this video. Listening to my body was the best change I’ve ever made. I will never be a size 2, but my goals are far more reasonable…being able to walk comfortably for longer periods of time and walking upstairs without getting so out of breath. I wish you the continued courage to listen to your body and do what you need to do for your well-being regardless of anyone else’s opinion. 💕
You share your opinion about anyone - thats what people do. And those who are on social media double so. Why are you even surprised. 😊
❤🌺❤
So, you're not going to say the diagnosis? It might be helpful. I would guess Type II Diabetis. Many have it and don't realize it. Forgive me if I missed it.
She said in the video she isn’t diabetic
@@babushkacat95 That's good. I missed that. Thank you.
I figure it's a thyroid issue.
I hope that this comment reaches you. I am also plus size who is anemic. I’ve been anemic for bout 8 years. I’ve had 2 infusions a month for 6 years to live. The last couple years I’ve been able to lower that to 6 months instead of every month. I know I’m a just a viewer but if you ever wanted someone to just talk to about this and learn from each other I’m here, not as a viewer but as someone who cares and has been there. Your emotions aren’t just how you’re feeling, it’s also the exhaustion and manipulation that anemia causes. It does get better and can go away. I am so sorry you have you go thru this, it is allot to handle on your own and I will say listen to your body. It is ok to sit down, it is ok to take a nap, anemia makes you an insomniac so take your rest when you can get it. You are not alone and I hope you get better and feel better too. ❤
You are inspirational 🌹
@@troubletime8684 thank you, I went thru that roller coaster she currently is on and had to do it alone. I would never want anyone else to have to do the same. You’re already exhausted, ya know
You have NO idea how I resonate with this. Doesn't matter what shape a person is in you just KNOW when something is very wrong with your body, after all, we are the one's living in it huh?? I'll be thinking of you young lady and sending good vibes your way. I live with three chronic autoimmune illnesses, and it sucks because people can't always tell how we are feeling on the inside and I'm sure as you know it gets damn hard putting that front on all the time. Whew!
Yes! I love my doctors! Also, go to your gyno and get your yearly exams done and if you're of age, get your mammograms! It is so important. I'm glad you finally went. I have medical anxiety so I can totally relate but I FORCE myself to go because our health is the only thing we have.
I have a GP and and endocrinologist that I adore!! I can talk to them about anything.
I discovered I had rheumatoid arthritis at age 40. I was fit up to that point and the symptoms started and so did the weight gain. Mobility issues are insane! One day I feel great the next I’m laid up with a joint flare up. I’m mentally exhausted and physically challenged now. Medicines help but autoimmune disorders suck ass! Stay strong girlie. Btw, I love the outfit today. You are beautiful, inside and out.
Me too. In 2020 at age 42. RA
@@emills767 it totally sucks.
Same here at age 40. Hip replacement at 45. Now 64 and very limited mobility.
A big hug to you! I was doctor phobic too! Diagnosed with severe anemia to the point of multiple iron infusions every year. It took a couple years to negotiate the fatigue, brain fog etc. But finally got the courage. You are strong and are there..now. ❤️
If you are diagnosed with a form of vasculitis, please reach out to me. I've had it for like ever. If it's autoimmune, you go to a rheumatologist. Don't panic, ok? You'll get through this, sweetie.
Girl you had me in tears. Honestly I finally did the same thing you did and went to a PCP in July found out some serious scary blood work results too. I cried for days so embarrassed and ashamed of myself for letting my weight and symptoms get out of control. Hang in there Anna, it will get better i promise. Take care of yourself and I will be sending prayers your way from your san antonio neighbor :)
Hey I love where you live…That’s my city too!
You are a beautiful and kind person I love you for who you are that is what makes you you ❤
The whole point of this video was to say that she wants to change but she listened to youtube comments which have NO clue wtf is going on with her health. She wants to change because she feels like shit. Im not overweight but i do have other shitty health problems and i am working on those so i can actually feel and function better for myself
I think it's a complex issue you really can't blame yourself for.
As an example, I was finally diagnosed with celiac disease about 5 years ago. I told myself for a long time I was just eating too much junk food, or it was just stress.
Finally telling doctors about my angry poops felt embarrassing. I already had anxiety issues that were made worse with weeks of tests and seeing specialists. Then of course living in the US, I ended up spending thousands of dollars, even with decent insurance. Should I have gone earlier? Yeah for sure. But I finally did, and now I can take better care of myself.
At the end of the day we're all just doing the best we can.
Thank you for sharing your story and experience. It's a very important message you are sending - not everything is about your weight. Shame on everyone saying your weight is the cause of your illness. Glad you went to the doctor and found out what really is your issue. Get well soon ❤️
I’m really proud of you for getting to the Dr! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I feel like you are talking in circles and aren't saying a darn thing. If you aren't ready too tell us what you found out then don't say anything at all.
Really?
Are you so annoyed because she didn't satisfy your curiosity?
This is what you have to say, from the whole video?
@@totukimou I'm not annoyed as it would take a lot more than a video to annoy me. I don't let insignificant things bother me. I just don't feel there is a need for passive/aggressive bullshit, which is what this is, from a mature adult. Be straightforward with the issue and if you cant then there is no need to mention it. If she wishes to share her issue great, if not that is also fine, but if she doesn't wish to share then why even bother to bring it up?!!
She gave you some details she doesn’t have to give u 100%. Dont watch her then
We love you Anna, get better soon! And it's better late than never ❤️ sending flowers your way girlie 💐💐💐
No, no one should go to a mean doctor. There are great doctors all over. You can go and if you don't like the doctor, find another.
Bless you for searching for yourself girl. Take care. Hugs hugs hugs.
You can be body positive and wear a frickin' decent bra.
Thank you so much for making this video. My heart goes out to you. I know this was so hard for you and you ARE saving lives with your courage and vulnerability. ❤️
There is many reasons for plus size people I have pcos n my daughter who is 12 has just been diagnosed with it the problem is with pcos is there us no cure or medical treatment like thyroid problems. My daughter is also anemic. As I have told my daughter u take life day by day n make ur choices on food exercise etc.
You don’t need to push yourself to the point of breaking, you just need to put down the fork, just put it down, just face reality. Stop with the obfuscating, continuous self diagnosing & needlessly over pathologising to avoid the truth.
I wish you all the best. Getting a late diagnosis is always infurating, tbh. You did what you could with the tools you had. Sending love to you.
This is an important message, thank you for using your platform to encourage women to visit their doctors. We all get there in our own time, but seeing someone else share their experience is a great motivator. Love your content! Thanks for sharing!
This is the beginning of healing!!! Praying for you. No more self punishment. It’s not your fault and it never was. Everything is going up from here.
Preach!!! I appreciate your vulnerability to share a message about the importance of health. Yes, we should accept all bodies but that does not mean neglect one's health. It also might mean shopping around to find a good doctor who treats patients with dignity. I'm happy for you that you found that and cheer you on!!!
Says that she had no choice because of this group in that group telling her this and that, and also says it’s her own damn fault. Anna will never take responsibility for anything she does or doesn’t do. They’re always so-called reasons why to fit any way she needs to try And take on any little bit of responsibility. She talks a big bunch of just talked. She says no matter what she did nothing changed. Why lie like that? It’s just silly.
I was exhausted for years. I had severe fatigue and was told I had depression and put on a bunch of drugs, none of which worked and caused me to gain a lot of weight. Turned out to be a serious inflammatory autoimmune condition with the double whammy of perimenopause, and washed down with a swig of a bad marriage. After finally getting the right diagnosis and getting of the psych drugs, I'm in remission. The problem with many autoimmune conditions is they are really hard to diagnose - but if the treatments don't work, keep asking questions.
So she is saying g go to the dr before any weight loss which everyone knows. But no other details …. Okay.
Congratulations on conquering your fears and getting a solid treatment program! Thanks for urging people to get help.
As someone with “how are you even functioning” anemia & several autoimmune issues I feel every word of your video. You are courageous and honest - now please show yourself forgiveness and grace. Take time to process your diagnoses but also know it’s something you’re likely to always have moments of being pissed off about - especially when you feel them acting up. Sending good vibes your way.
Thank u Anna for sharing about your dr. visit. I’ll be praying for and PLEASE KEEP UPDATING US ABOUT THIS JOURNEY. I love because I know this took AMAZING COURAGE TO SHARE . You’re beautiful inside and out love u take of yourself. All HATERS F-k off. 🙏🥰❤️🌺
Yay! I'm glad you're finding answers so you can feel better! Thanks for sharing!
Congratulations for taking your health in your own hands, and kudos to your doctor. 🎉
I have Hashimotos autoimmune thyroid disease. And I’m around the same size as you.
Whatever autoimmune problems you have, I feel for ya ❤❤❤
I sat here and felt your emotion. I cried a bit for you. I love your videos and content but I wished I loved myself as much. I'm battling with body images and am in perimenopause and my worst fear is putting weight on that I can't shift it. I know it sounds shallow but it's all related to my ocd and anxiety. Good luck you are inspiring xx
I was feeling quite similar and was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder two years ago. I started eating an autoimmune protocol diet (AIP). Medication helped to regulate my system but the diet did wonders for my body’s symptoms. I also naturally lost some weight because I reduced the inflammation in my body. Best wishes to you on your health journey.
Anna, you are passionate for a reason and this statement is true for so many ways of life: don t live your life on the internet based on opinions of other people you don t know and communites where you are just a member, not a person.
I am so happy you finally started listening to yourself. It took me years to do the same and I am going through similar things. It's a total mind fuck. Once you get to a good place in the way you feel physically, and it takes time, you'll feel better mentally. We all take advise from others when we don't know what's going on ourselves. Love you. Proud of you and wishing you the most amazing outcome.
Going to a doctor can be so terrifying, but it's so much better to hear something is getting caught early then hearing it's too late.
Thank for you sharing your story, for creating this video.
Some doctors seriously can be awful 😢😔 make you feel like you're wasting their time. I still struggle and feel judged when going into a doctor's room. So proud that she is advocating for herself!
It is not easy
I thank you for the positivity you have always sent me. I wish you well, a hug from Italy ❤
I'm glad you finally went to the MD. I appreciate this video because you do have a lot of influence. I have several autoimmune disorders myself. I take lots of medication. But I'm still tired all the time, but it'd be so much worse without the medication.
Every time you talk about this in your videos, it sounds SO MUCH like the inside of my head, and I've had some bad experiences with doctors who had terrible bedside manners that just made things worse. I am glad you found a good doctor and are getting answers.
I went through 30 years of he'll, before I finally got someone to listen to me. Come to find out I had a brain tumor, that started on my pituitary gland when I was 10 years old. It shut down my hormones, and my metabolism when I was 12.. I gained weight uncontrollably for 30 years, before I got someone to listen to me.. by the time they found the tumor it had taken over the entire interior of my head. It had grown so big that it busted through my inner and outer sinuses.. It had wrapped itself around my optic nerve, and it had busted through my brain stem, and I was leaking spinal fluid down the back of my throat for years. I had to have brain surgery to remove it all.. 10 years later I'm finally starting to feel better.. This all being said, I know what you're going through, and I will be praying for you.. if you ever need somebody to talk to about what you're going through I'm here..
You are courageous and creative. I’m so proud of you for taking this step. Take care of yourself and know that people admire you for who you are.
It's been my experience that it takes a little time to get over the shock of being told you have a medical condition but truly you get used to it in time and then it just becomes a part of your life.
Rest easy dear girl. You're on the right road.
Eileen lreland
The title went from my own damn fault, to I got surprising news. Yikes. She’s that sensitive over even thinking slightly that she has even a little control over her life in whatever way.
I have Multiple Sclerosis- I can relate with all the doctors and the difficult news.
Eating five times a day does it mean eating a lot what you’re doing is you’re eating smaller meals five times a day to keep your metabolism going
Autoimmune disorders can overlap. Usually when you have one you also have more.
I have a friend who has 9.
I'm so sorry and sad that you are going through this. Hope you feel better everyday. Do what you feel is right for you not what anyone other than maybe your dr says. Hugs and prayers
Thank you for making this video. I’ll call and make an appointment, I’ve been avoiding it for years now. I love all your content. (And that outfit is the bomb). *hugs*
I'm so glad you got checked out. Diagnosis is the first step to getting better. For those of you looking for a doctor, my advice is to see a family nurse practitioner. I've had better success being heard and felt less judged and more cared for by an NP than a doctor. Just my experience.
Anna I hope you see this comment- Lipedema can cause iron deficiency anemia (I myself need iron transfusions). It's also a connective tissue disorder which can cause a lot of symptoms & have comorbidities. Please look more into Lipedema & EDS
🙄
First of all you are not a mess ! Send you Hugs ! ❤❤❤❤ thank u for sharing ! Love u.
Praying for you. I hope all the answers come. 🙏🏼♥️🕊
If it is none of our business why are you publicly blabbing about it? Do you want support after a rude comment of it being none of our business? This is really confusing!
Because some of us can relate and need to encouragement to see a doc. Its not for your entertainment
@@claire5of6 what this makes no sense as a reply to my comment. It is not addressing her rude comment that has put off many. That is not how to get support or encouragement.
Her comment wasn't rude. You're one of those miserable people looking for a fight, Karen ❤
@@edithelbourn7385 and you're free LEAVE 😂😂😂
@angelh3771
Haha, well my name is actually Karen 😳😲 and I completely agree with what you accused of her being a "Karen"
I don't even know what to say im sitting here crying because people can be so cruel to anyone who reads this please please if you have nothing nice to say please don't say anything at all this is a beautiful woman who is trying to figure out her life
Sending prayers, good wishes, and love your way, Anna. I understand panic attacks with regards to medical appointments. I know you can do this. You are on the right track. Stand up for your health and keep fighting for the amazing you that you are.
If you don't want to talk about it don't who cares
I just heard the same thing about my anemia. Had my first infusion and while my side effects were typical of me, it was an oddball for about 10 days and now I feel human again. I've got some other autoimmune stuff too and it hurts to hear you verbalize that it's a relief - those words speak volumes and gave my feelings a voice. Process what's going on and we'll be here to love and support you through it
Happy for you. This reminds me of life pre my adhd diagnosis. I thought the way I was behaving was personality or my astrological sign. No, I needed to see a whole psychologist.
I had to advocate for my health for many years especially when I was gaining weight and kept trying diet after diet. I finally had a diagnosis after many years of suffering. Healthcare in the states is expensive , what makes it more frustrating is when you’re spending money, taking time off work and continue to get dismissed by the medical community. I went through 4 different doctors before I found 1 who listened.
So stunning, so brave
I don't know what else is going on, but as someone who was in the same sinking ship with a level 2 iron level last year... I know how that feels. It has come up since then, but not enough to be in the clear.... I've had to have 3 rounds of 5 iron infusions since last October. I'm still pretty tired most of the time, but am much better than where I was last year. Def. great advice to share with people to get checked out by a medical professional and to stop listening to what random people say (good or bad) on the internet. Take control of your own body and listen to medical professionals. Hope your treatment plan works quickly. Proud you went to get checked out, too.
Why did you change the title? I was feeling good for you that you took accountability but now it seems like it’s back to the “it’s not *really* my fault tho”. I hope your progress gets better and you keep feeling better though
Thank you for making this video. So many people listen too much to what others have to say, and don't seek their own answers from knowledgeable sources. Going to the doctor can be scary. Your message will help people do what is best for them to feel their best. That is a wonderful thing!
Your message is important. Thank you.
Thanks for your testimony.🇬🇧❤
as someone with several autoimmune issues (Sjogren's and Fibro) and whose been chronically ill for most of my life, knowing is a big big step. Knowing means you can plan and treat, and in some cases, fix. Big fan of fixing things where possible. Yes, some doctors suck, but there are good ones out there, and you are your best advocate. If something feels wrong, it probably is, and you should be loud about it until you get an answer. And not realizing how bad you felt until you start feeling better, that is very common. I'm very glad you have at least a partial diagnosis now, and are starting to get treatment. If you have a moment, go look up the Spoon Theory of chronic illness. It's a really good visual for explaining how fatigue works with regards to chronic illness. As a fellow Spoonie, its very good for explaining to family members, etc. as well.
Don't forget to breathe. Sometimes you need to remind yourself to take a step back and just breathe
@10:39 everyone including Anna, quit investing so much time and heart in social media if you are that easily influenced or impressionable.
Don't you love how it's everyone else's fault but hers?
But that's part of the grift. Views start tanking, make a sob story video to get a$$pats and clicks. She's almost 40, she needs to get with the program 😂 She's not a teenager or someone in their early 20s. I could have given people those ages a pass, but not her. She's middle aged. No excuse for this.
I can understand what you are going through, Anna. I am sorry. I was an active nurse who started having trouble walking and I was tired all the time. Like you, people kept telling me to keep moving, which only made it worse, yet I kept pushing myself right into the hospital as a patient. I didn’t want to go to the doctor and hear, “oh you just need to lose weight,” “it is just anxiety,” or “you just need to move more.” I was diagnosed with an autoimmune neurological condition that affects movement. It took my career. Part of me wonders had I gone to the doctor sooner if they could have slowed the progression.
I am happy you are being vulnerable in sharing this very important message. Listen to your body, you know it better than anyone. Keep on track of preventative testing. You never know how many lives you could save with your message. I wish you healing and all the best on this journey. You are not alone. ❤
My sister was diagnosed years ago with Hashimoto’s and several anemia. It’s been a challenge the entire time, but each time she has a set back she just does her best to deal with the next issue and keep on pushing. But getting that diagnosis in the first place was fundamental.
@@kattastrophy1 Not super rare. I have Hashimoto 's and had really bad anemia. Both treatable but you need to be under medical care. Feeling great now.
@@alexandracastanon8161 Yes, I am aware it requires ongoing medical treatment. What I found unique was the other commenter had similar issues without it affecting body weight. I guess it always comes down to the individual. For example, my sister has been hospitalized and suffered memory loss as a result of severe anemia. Her body just stopped responding to her treatment.
I’m sorry your going through this. I pray you get better. Bravo for your speech!
