Symptoms Log:

Another episdoe of Symptoms log! Yea! So that’s me wearing a tank top and sporting a lovely little bruise! Woot Woot! This is from my Anemia caused by my Thyroid disorder. This happens when you are low Ferritn, also masquerading around as Iron. I used to get bruises really, really easy until I started adding more Iron into my diet and taking a supplement. I remember waking up one morning with a doosy of a bruise on my leg. Unsure as to how I got it. I went through the normal process of figuring it out when it dawned on me. It was from my hubby cuddling with me at night! Since adding in Iron to my diet this bruising has lessened. Glad I don’t wear those glasses anymore. They are hideous! :-)

I just happened to come across you blog… I guess from the DearThyroid blog. ANYHOW, as a hypo woman, I can totally relate!
I too bruise VERY easily and never, until now knew that it is linked to the thyroid disease. I take Iron daily, cause I always run a bit anemic, except during pregnancy.
SO, I wanted to thank you for giving me that tidbit of info :)
