So,
If like me you have had the joy of blood tests over and over due to the meds you have been taking, I wonder if like me your iron levels were on the lower end of the scale?
Yes being female does tend to play about with iron levels, but through my time on meds and then pregnancies I have always been anemic or close to it.
I have read in a book, (sorry can't remember the name of it, but if anyone is intrested I shall try to find out) that psoriasis and anemia are linked!
I also found it intresting that over my many blood tests, pregnancies and general life as a psoriasis suffer that only one GP has ever flagged up this link to me.
If my tiredness levels are still a bit rubbish as my 5 month old starts to wean then I think I may discuss my iron levels more with my GP and pick his brains on it a bit more.
(Im waiting to see if I get called in soon because of the vast amount of moisturiser Im requesting)
