Is anyone just completely over it? I’m so exhausted! I’m anemic which makes sense but getting in to see a hematologist is a pain and taking too long. Taking iron pills which don’t seem to do much.

Hay! I’ve just found out I have low PAPP-A and I’ve been prescribed Asprin. It’s my first time taking them, after a full meal, and I feel a little nausea. Has anyone else experience this?
