    Muller continued her symptoms: “I felt so tired all the time, so I went to the doctors and they did my blood and they put it down on [anemia]”Explaining that doctors had initially tried to increase the dose of her iron tablets.

    “I asked about the back and neck pain and they said I had started a new job and I sat down in a chair all day, it was probably to do with that. I went back two or three times [to the doctor] Because my symptoms got worse, “she added.

    Muller continued: “I have always been really fit and active and in sports and with my new job I would sit all day, so I would certainly not get tired.”

    She added that she was checked out: “I went back to the doctors a third time when I was really getting dizzy and they told me [anemia] again. I would walk on the road for 10 minutes and I would be so exhausted and I thought, “This is not good.” “

    Muller said that she was “too exhausted” to go to the gym and started training less, and that she had to lift much lighter weights.

    “Normally I would go four or five times a week and then I went down once a week,” she remembered. “There was a period of two months that I didn't go at all and I fell.”

    Muller now continued to warn others about her symptoms: “I would say continue to push if you think something is wrong with you. I should have trusted my gut instincts more, as you know how you feel.”
