Tiredness

This past week has been full of drama and pain and sickness. I got really sick with one of those 12 hour bugs and it was really icky and gross. Then, my period kept getting worse and worse, it went on for over 2 weeks and most of it very heavy. Finally I was so weak and felt like I was dying, so I decided to go in to the emergency room. It turns out that my body was trying to bleed to death. They gave me a blood transfusion with 2 units of blood, then they gave me pills to help stop the bleeding. They took good care of me in the hospital and were able to help me regain some of my strength and feel a bit better. Then the doctor came in and we talked about regulating me. She has put me on a birth control pill for the next few months to help regulate my period, she wants me to take iron supplements 3 times a day (I am very anemic) and she wants me to go on a no carb diet for the next 3 weeks, plus after that I am supposed to be on a VERY limited carb diet. I am not so excited about all of this, but if it will help I will give it a shot. We shall see how everything turns out.
