BC Residents with Iron Deficiency & Anemia - Day-to-Day Impact
Looking to speak with people in B.C. living with iron deficiency/anemia (for a reported story)
Hi everyone,
I’m a Vancouver-based journalism student working on a reported feature about what’s it’s actually like to live with iron deficiency and anemia in British Columbia. The piece is being developed with a Postmedia outlet, and I’m hoping to include real experience to reflect what people go through day-to-day.
I’m especially interested in hearing from:
women who’ve fealty with low iron and heavy periods
mothers or people who experienced anemia during or after pregnancy
-older adult whose symptoms may have been dismissed as “just aging”
-men living with anemia or iron deficiency
-people with digestive or absorption issues (like celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease or bariatric surgery)
people who have struggles to get diagnosed
anyone who’s needed infusions / anyone that is currently having a period of infusions
university or college students with anemia
people whose symptoms affected work, school or mental clarity
honestly, anyone who’s needed infusions feels likes this has impacted their life in ways others might not understand.
If you are open to sharing your experience (even briefly), I’d really appreciate hearing from you.
A couple of notes:
participants would need to be based in British Columbia
this is for a published newspaper feature, so sources would need to be comfortable being quoted by name
You can comment here or send me a message.
Than you so much for your time.
