Anemia [View all]

One day last week, I woke up, got out of bed and fell down. I was so weak it took me about ten minutes to get to my kitchen. Of course, I thought I had Covid. I got a little stronger but I had a terrible week. I wound up in the hospital Cardiac ward (I have heart disease). But when my bloods were taken, it showed that I had severe anemia. I never thought anemia could get this bad! Anyway, I'm back home now and I'm so bored I think I'm gonna die. Let me explain that food is my life (particularly junk food). I'm 68 and quarantined and I was dealing with it by drinking alot of coffee and eating alot of UTZ Russet potato chips. I can't have coffee or potato chips anymore and I don't think I'm gonna make it. I know that alot of you are dealing with much worse things, and I apoligize for ranting about these things, but they're my life.
Does anyone else here have experience with anemia?
