anemic? - i hope so
I know it sounds weird but i had mc on 01/05. Since the miscarriage, i have had really weird symptoms. for the past 10 days, i have felt dizzy and have had permanent headache. (i had a smear which made me bleed on 28/05 and have since had first af since mc). during preg and mc had weirdy legs (i think restless leg syndrome). after mc, have had dry cracked lips. i have had blood tests for anemia and get results on tuesday . i was given tablets to stop vertigo but was told they wouldn't work if i am anemic. i have been reading that dry cracked lips, dizziness/vertigo, restless leg syndrome, tingling in hands and feet, headaches, dry mouth can all be signs of anemia. I really bloody hope i am so i can start to make myself feel better - it is getting me down now. i have only been into work for 2 weeks since my mc 5 weeks ago!!!

I get it from time to time - I become so breathless and tired, and dizzy especially standing up. BUT the magic iron tablets sort it out so quickly. There's also a form of liquid iron that I take in orange juice (will find a link) that often keeps it at bay and doesn't irritate my stomach.
Good luck with the results hon x

1. Paul McKenna's book 'Change Your Life in 7 Days' - I'm not into psychobabble nonsense, but this book and the relaxation cd that came with it REALLY helped my anxiety. I recommend it to anyone who has suffered.
2. Exercise. Even if it seems like the last thing you want to do it helps so much. Getting rid of the excess adrenalin in your body makes you calmer. That's an indisputable fact.
