Hi all.. My post got removed last time for I guess asking the wrong question. I just am struggling with everything going on with me. This is so very new to me, I only got this way after giving birth to my daughter in 2024. I've progressively got worse. I'm seeing a Hematologist tomorrow for my Iron as I do have severe anemia. I can barely walk but I seen an Ortho & he told me I have healthy knees for a 25 year old with a cluster of inflammation, so he refused to help & told me that I should go vegan for 6 weeks. Every doctor I see, they tell me that I'm 25 & there's nothing wrong. Even when my bloodwork says there is. There's something wrong with me & I even get minimal testing. I just am so depressed, I don't know what to do with myself. I can't walk without a cane or scooter, play with my baby, clean. I can't breathe very well, my heart rate is always 100+ but they tell me it's anxiety. I take anxiety medicine & it's all the same.

I feel at my wit's end & nobody understands. My boyfriend tells me that he is sad because of how I am, but what about what I feel? It doesn't matter that my entire life got thrown away because HE is sad. Everyone is sad about the fact I can't do anything & yet they do not live with it like I do.

Anyways, I guess it's just a rant. Any advice on how to manage achy pain & extreme fatigue would be nice. Thanks:)

Hi all, I'm feeling a little down lately. I've just went through my 2nd job since having my baby in April 2024. I was doing a Temporary Assignment from April 2025 - October 31st 2025 & Instead of focusing on my health, I tried to do another one April 2026. Unfortunately, I lasted a month before I had to quit due to my health issues. Currently, Anemia is the only thing I am for sure diagnosed with as my Iron as of late has been 16 with a saturation of 6. My ferritin is 23. I have gallbladder issues & have an appt to have it removed. I have gained 100lbs in just a year after pregnancy. I nap 3 times a day & I still feel like i'm running on empty. Iron supplements did not work for me as they were causing me so many more GI issues than I already have, so I have an appointment to see a Hematologist about Transfusions starting next month.

The point of this is, has anyone or IS anyone going through something similar? I've never had issues before I had my baby, so being "Chronically Ill" as my Doctor tells me, has been so hard & lonely. Yes, I have my baby & my boyfriend & his family but I feel so alone as nobody knows what I'm going through. I want to be able to work, but I can't. I want to try to work part time, 3 days max. Even that scares me. //: Anemia isn't the only thing wrong with me, just the only thing diagnosed & even so, I feel so alone. Any advice or tips or similar stories would be appreciated 💕
