Hi, Katherine.

Your story sounds so familiar. We are so good at making excuses, aren't we? I was older than you (41) at diagnosis but I had been ignoring or not realizing the meaning of symptoms that should have sent me straight to the doctor months before I finally went for something complete unrelated. Example: I thought there was something wrong with my washing machine because the clothes were so heavy (as in too wet) when I moved them to the dryer. Turned out my hemoglobin was less than 5.0 so I had virtually no strength!

I'm glad to hear that your doctor was able to identify the problem so quickly and that you're on your way to a cure.

Regards,
Ruth
