-- Posted by AaronR93 at 1:39 pm on Dec. 11, 2008 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? -- Posted by Poisonetta at 1:40 pm on Dec. 11, 2008 I don't know. -- Posted by redhotchilis64 at 1:40 pm on Dec. 11, 2008 They don't have to test your blood to operate on you. Also, the surgery could have caused the anemia. -- Posted by pixie dust11 at 1:41 pm on Dec. 11, 2008 true go see the doctorr -- Posted by J U S T at 1:41 pm on Dec. 11, 2008 Quote: from redhotchilis64 at 4:40 pm on Dec. 11, 2008 They don't have to test your blood to operate on you.

Might want to keep the insults down if you don't even know yourself. -- Posted by alpine at 3:58 pm on Dec. 11, 2008 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
