RANDOM NOTHINGNESS

I am anemic.  At a young age, I remember being taken to the hospital by my parents because I feel dizzy all the time.  I can still feel m first pin prick so the nurse can obtain a sample of my blood.  A few tests and the doctor said I've got anemia.  I was given four different types of medicine to improve my condition.  I think I was in grade four back then. 

As I grow old, I've grown used to being pale and dizzy.  I've also gotten used to doctors prescribing Iron supplements to me even though I didn't consult with them about my being pale in the first place.  I've grown used to having big bruises on my arms whenever samples of blood are drawn from me.  I've learned to take care not to bump myself on hard objects so I won't get bruised, especially after menstruating. 

Recently, however, I noticed that I don't get pale anymore although I barely have six hours of sleep every night (notice the post times of most of my blogs).  I can't easily sleep lately again, although I don't wake up that easily now when I finally do.  The eye bags are still here though plus the ugly skin (although it has improved SIGNIFICANTLY for the past few months).  Less spots to edit in Photoshop now =P).

I read somewhere that as people grow old, they need less sleep compared to when they were younger.  Even with reduced shut eye hours, the body can still function normally.

Sign of aging?  Maybe. *haish
