I had some of the same problems during my Hep C treatment and chemo. Because of the liver issues, I could not get iron and am not supposed to take iron supplements, only what I can get through diet. Are you eating your spinach, young man? How about a bit of liver (YUK :p ) and some good rare beef? I did get a couple of Procrit shots but have been on the anemic side most of the past two years. I took out my little camp stool and hooked it on the lawn mower handle. Every few swipes (or feet depending on the day) I stopped and rested. The more circulation the better the energy. People walking by always teased me about it but I tried to not take it (too) personally.
I have my new winter grass established now, planted about 120 pansies and ivolas a couple of weeks ago. I can now mow the lawn twice a week if I want to. I missed it last winter but am making it up this winter.
I am praying for continued miracles!
