Sadness

Sadness and loneliness still plague me. Even when I get out more and I'm around people, I'm still having those feelings. The loneliness is the worst at night. My sleep is so interrupted by insomnia and hot flashes. I've got to get on some kind of regular schedule so that I can start living life. I'm praying that the labs taken by Dr Eustis shed some insight and that hormone adjustment will be helpful. I'm transitioning from Effexor to Prozac right now and hopefully that's going to help, too. My kidneys are better but I'm still  anemic and my iron saturation was still low at my last visit. Honestly I'm wondering if I've had problems with iron levels before because I've been anemic my whole adult life but we didn't regularly check iron labs. My hemoglobin is 10.6 which is a number that I've had many times in the past. I'm very thankful that it's up from being 8.0 but I'm just so tired of dealing with these health issues. Actually had some really dark thoughts this morning.
