Vicky McGillivray wasn’t well, wasn’t getting better and wasn’t able to get an appointment with a GP overnight — and she wanted all that to change.
The 50-year-old human dynamo from Gunbower — where, among other things, she is president of the Gunbower Racing Club and working overtime for the club’s first cup meeting since 2019 following COVID-19 and flooding — could not keep going the way she was.
After months of inexplicable fatigue and breathlessness playing havoc with her quality of life, it took appointments with three doctors and blood tests before someone finally pinned it down.
Vicky was anaemic.
She initially put it all down to her chronic sinus issues but said when the antibiotics prescribed for that did not improve her other symptoms, she knew further investigations were required.
