I think I may have figured out what is wrong with me: Anemia.

My symptoms indicate a severe anemia that could be life threatening. Granted, the symptoms fit a lot of other ailments as well, but many of those ailments are also related to anemia.

I have rapid pulse, heart palpitations, headaches, shortness of breath, dizziness, rusty voice, insomnia, and chronic fatigue. I think my skin is also pale. I am not sure what the inside of most people's eyelids look like, but mine look pale and maybe even a little yellow.

I was anemic when I was a kid. I just called my mom to ask what the cause of that was and she said she didn't think she was ever told. I was just given iron supplements and told to eat lots of liver, spinach, and cauliflower.

When one has serious anemia, food therapy does not provide enough iron to rectify it. Unfortunately, this means I am probably going to have to go the doctor. This poses a problem because I despise doctors and do not have one to go to. It will take some work and, of course, one never knows how good a doctor is until interacting with them. I will not tolerate, however, a doctor who is anti-veg because I am sure they would automatically assume anything wrong is due to not eating carcass. I don't ned to be any more stressed than I am.

Anyone know of any good doctors in central Ohio? I would prefer a Certified Nurse Practitioner or Holistic doctor. I have searched my insurance provider website and none come up, yet I know there have to be some in my network.
