Here's the thing. When you have never felt well, you adapt to functioning from that state. Yes, I was feeling pretty poorly, okay, really horrid, but I have always operated from there, I just keep on trucking.

You sure hit the nail on the head with that post! "Just take this pill and you'll feel better!" HA! But then I went to alternative medicine, and two years and $9000 later (office visits, supplements,tests, unusual therapies)I still have the same physical problems I had at the beginning. Another alternative provider, after doing all the things he could think of to help me, suggested I should go get tested for some really rare conditions, because he couldn't do anything for me. At least that one admitted defeat after about a year and a half. I hope whatever you are doing for your red blood cells helps you, and I wish you the best with your internship.
