Almost the exact same thing happened to me, (within the last two years of turning 40) the fatigue for sure, and slight hair loss. Although my mother had suffered anemia, gave me insight for the fatigued. I would have never connected the two symptoms either. Again, thank you for reminding me, when I get tired, it’s not just because I’m getting older! =) It’s a pleasure co-hosting #omhgww with you! Have a beautiful week.

Thanks Evija, I am glad to say it’s finally behind me.

Yes, you and many doctors, don’t make the link.

I would never have linked extreme fatigue and hair loss with anemia either. Thanks for sharing! ~Paula 🙂 #MidLifeLuv

Thanks Debbie, I am on information myself. I want to know what they are doing and why…then, I go home and research it on the internet!

So true, I have really discovered that it is important to be your own health advocate. Thanks so much for featuring me this week in the Friday Blog Booster Party!!

I have my blood checked every year. And I’m a pain in the back with doctors. I want to see everything! I feel they are generally more focused on treatment than prevention which is concerning.
I’m glad you got better.

It just underlines that when something is obviously wrong, you may need to get a couple of opinions. Don’t just give up, keep searching and looking for answers. Thanks for sharing this as it will help others on Fridays Blog Booster Party #26
