i was tested positive for anemia (low iron) 2 years ago but my most recent blood test (6 months ago) came back normal. since then i've been sleeping more and more, 9-14 hours a day (i useto get by fine on 4), and i have bruising all over my legs. I feel sick to my stomach and can't bare to eat anything until after 4pm, but i have been gaining weight. I also crave sugar all the time and eat nothing but fruit, juice and the occasional candy but nothing makes it go away. does anyone know what's going on? i also just started taking the birth control patch but i heard that was suposed to lessen the syptoms of anemia.
