Okay so today I went to the nurse today because I was feeling really dissy and my hands were tingling.
She said I could possible have Anemia, but that can't be true because I had surgery several years ago and wouldn't they know then?

Anemia is a lack of iron in your blood and can happen at anytime in your life altho more normal in your teenage years. and also more normal for girls... for obvious reasons.

You may as well get it checked by a doc its a quick and easy blood test.

Altho you may want to get it done quick enough, altho it can be treated just by simply eatting iron supplements and normally isnt something you live with for the rest of your life. it can cause your body some damage if you dont do something

Anemia isn't a constant, it can occur any time you have a lack of iron. Might want to keep the insults down if you don't even know yourself.

you aren't necessarily born with anemia, you could've acquired it at any time...

it's best to get a blood test done. i got tested for it a few years ago but i didn't have it. still to this day don't know what caused whatever i was feeling back then

you could have developed anemia after the surgeries.
horseeyesss Posted at 1:42 pm on Dec. 11, 2008
you can become anemic quite quickly, I got diagnosed with it a couple months back and i'd had tests a couple years before that and they didn't find it

They don't have to test your blood to operate on you. Also, the surgery could have caused the anemia.

Bingo.

Go get a blood test.
