I wasnt even driving. just sucks everything out of ya and the CURE well its the worst stuff I ever tasted. YUCKIES. Peeps eat your liver and onions..dont get short on iron reserves as badly as I had it become. mine they think was internal bleeding for a prolonged period of time but they really dont have anything thats proven yet...Take care of yourselves KIDS ~

Swimming is the best, if you can find a spot. Excercises and relaxes you. Doesn't stress joints or worsen existing stuff. Someday, most folks will have lap pools built in, heated pools are great as you age as well.

Empathy here on the exhaustion and fatigue, especially in humid heat. I had the regular type of anemia as a kid, and in addition to supplements, Mom's inheritance of her Mom's cast iron pans helped. The cast iron pan allows iron to be transferred to the food. Use these cherished pans for decades now, and never had a problem since. It really does work, historically I've read they point to the use of cast iron cookery in the migration west for keeping many women and children healthy through the journey.
