telling me to get out of the house, enjoy the sunshine, etc. The reality is

that I get very short of breath just walking down my apartment stairs. I

also

think everyone is sick and tired of my negative attitude. Sometimes I begin

to think all of this is in my head and that I really do have the choice to

be

well. Maybe that comes from everyone saying that I look so good. It is so

hard for anyone to understand.

Karyn,

Get your iron level taken care of first and then you will feel much better

and then you will feel like getting out and maybe then you can deal with the

depression. Severe anemic does cause you to have absolutely no energy or

strength to do anything as well.

Hi Andre', all,

Lately this seems to be worse than my physical disease. I just don't feel

like seeing anyone, having visitors, or getting out of the house. Everyone is

telling me to get out of the house, enjoy the sunshine, etc. The reality is

that I get very short of breath just walking down my apartment stairs. I also

think everyone is sick and tired of my negative attitude. Sometimes I begin

to think all of this is in my head and that I really do have the choice to be

well. Maybe that comes from everyone saying that I look so good. It is so

hard for anyone to understand.
