Anemic Me

March 13, 2007

I had my annual physical examination last Feb. 9 and the result got in only last Friday. It seems scholiosis and hyperacidity enjoy tormenting me that they've decided to stick with me in the past 3 years. Arrrgh. Now there's a third addition to my tormentors: anemia. I have an abnormally low number of red blood cells. Arrrgh again.

I have observed some of the symptoms in the past three or four weeks: lightheadedness, shortness of breath and cold hands and feet. Also, specially during badminton games, I'd easily get weak and tired which is unusual because I'm used to playing badminton a lot and not feeling tired after each game. The doctor said since I have very low hemoglobin count, the tissues of my body are being starved of oxygen (Hemoglobin is the iron-containing pigment of the red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues.). Poor body tissues.

I am now taking iron supplements and eating doctor-prescribed diet that's iron-rich. I will have another blood test soon. So good luck to me.

Bea, sundin mo lang ang sabihin ng doc plus eat the right foods at wag magpuyat… my brother died of leukemia. Thank God your anemia was detected agad. Mas maganda na yan kesa naman malaman mo na you lack red blood cells pala tapos malala na di ba?

Ingat lagi! God bless!

It’s not good news to hear about this,
Nevertheless it’s better than just miss;
I’ll pray that He’ll choose to heal you soon, don’t rue,
If not, don’t fret, He’s knows what’s best for you.

ang dami ko yatang bisita ngayon . maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat. wow, i see new visitors. salamat po talaga.

ROSS, mediterranean anemia sounds…sossy hehehe. i’m not much into meat kasi kaya ganun, medyo kulang sa protein. medyo hindi na sumusumpong ang pain ng spine ko.mukhang nagpapahinga ang scholiosis ko hehehe.opo, nag-e-exercise po me.

SASHA, hello there. thank you. i’m sorry to hear about your bro. tatandaan ko mga sinabi mo. i remember being in your blog before i put up mine. hindi lang ako nag-comment noon kasi shy ako hehehe. will be visiting your blog whenever i can. ingat din. God bless!

ANAK, salamat. salamat din sa imbitasyon. dumalaw na ako sa bahay ninyo. hello kay inay at kay itay hehehe

CAI, naku, anemic ka rin pala. ingat ka rin lagi kasi sabi mo hinihimatay ka. sige, i’ll try eating atay (sana wag akong mapagkamalan na aswang hehehe). naku, iha, sinabi mo, mahal ang gamot! bakasyon ka na ba sa school?

C5, hehehe may tama ka pa ba ng balagtasan? aba, in english pa ang verse mo. thank you po. at salamat sa pag-edit ng site. touched ako *kuha panyo, pahid luha sa mata*

TINA, hello sweet girl. thank you!

DIWA, yun nga ipinagtataka ko eh, paborito ko ang ampalaya simula bata pa ako. i guess it’s not because of my diet. i guess it’s because of my body’s inability to absorb the needed amount of iron. aba, tuloy po ako sa wanpala hehehe. gusto mo ba diet? palitan mo lang personality mo. switch ka agad kay parker. magagalitin yun eh. kapag ganun, madali kang papayat hehehe

DAISY, oo nga eh. dati scholio lang and hyperacidity ang endure ko. ngayon pati anemia. salamat sa suggestions, ang pinakagusto ko dun ay yung BAKASYON NA 1 YEAR!!!!!!! hehehe
