Pernicious anemia runs in my family. My grandmother has it and her mom and aunt had it. My grandmother told her doctor she suspected it because her feet felt like they were wrapped in foam when she was laying down. But the doc said she hadn’t heard of it, so she disregarded her (welcome to socialist medicine). Because it was left untreated, my grandmother lost complete feeling in her feet. She has made us all promise to get tested regularly to make sure we catch it should we get it. I had blood work done 5 years ago and I had iron deficiency. Last year I had it done again and all my work was stellar.
But my legs have been feeling strange in the last week, which really could be anything. Regardless, when I get a job I am going in again.
