I hadn’t been taking my iron because no Dr. had ever explained anemia in a way that made it sound important or harmful. So I didn’t think iron was as necessary as it is. My boyfriend got to witness me collapsing onto hot pavement as he drove the car up that I had sent him to fetch so I could get out of the heat. Instead of walking to the car I was half dragged my strangers who thought I had heat stroke. I didn’t wake up until after I had been splashed with water and placed in the car with AC blasting on me. The longest it’s ever taken. If it wasn’t for these strangers I could have ended up in the hospital for severe burns/road rash. After seeking treatment I started researching Anemia on my own & I learned a lot I had never been told before, I scared myself with what I learned. Now a year later, for the first time since I was diagnosed at about 14 years old I can say I’ve taken my iron everyday for the last year. Sometimes we are responsible for finding our own reason for treatment & sticking to it.
