Who has an iron level of 23? This bitch right here!



Hello, iron pills.

Hello, Colace.

In other news, I am writing a horrible story about human trafficking. What the shit, me?

Yeah, no way around that one. And water, lots of water. Probiotics sometimes help as well. Good luck. For all the shitty side effects the iron really should make you feel significantly better.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I'm wondering if my irregular heartbeat is related to that. We shall see!

[neifile7.livejournal.com]

Is that your hematocrit? Because, fuck shit. Glad you're on it.

PMing you re: trafficking.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

It has to be, because she said it was low, and that's not low for the other thing. I should have asked for more specifics. Dammit.

Regardless, she said to start taking a supplement.

I think I'm going to do iron+colace+benefiber!

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

I had to look up Colace. Oh. Ouch. You have to take that for the iron, right? Yeah.

When I was preggers, the doc did NOT let me take extra iron. I seemed to have been swimming in it. Am normal now. At least in that!

Hope it all helps, Mander.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Haahahah yeah the colace is because of the iron. SHITBEARS!

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

You might be doing just that!

[firefly124.livejournal.com]

That's your crit? Holy shit, Batman! Yes, Colace and possibly washed down with some milk of mag, because yeah, that's going to be fun. Not!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

HAAAHAHAH METAMUCIL!

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

PRUNES!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Oh god.

I am getting old. this blows.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

WELCOME TO MY WORLD!!!

Actually though, LOL Tiff and I bought prunes once to see if it would help us lose weight. HA HA HA. Yeah.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Haahahah fructose! NOOOO!

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

It worked for two days!!! But that is all. LOL!

[calliopes_pen]

The irregular heartbeat is definitely something that could be caused by the iron levels. It made my heart skip a beat every 2-3 (apparently, I should have mentioned that sooner to people) minutes back when I was so horrible. If it's not near death levels, it could still do that.

Hematocrit level of 23? Not good.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but if that's my actual iron level, that's okay. I should have asked. Hrm. Dammit.

Still I AM NOT IRON MAN.

[milkshake-b.livejournal.com]

Well that'd account for exhaustion and general meh-ness, all right. Do you cook with cast iron? It doesn't add a ton or anything but every bit helps (says the woman always buying the C&D-enriched OJ because her Vitamin D level is apparently nigh-vampiric).

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

HAAHAH I never thought of that!

I cook with a wok, sadly.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Oh I was gonna say, I cook alot with mah grandma's cast iron, and that supposedly does help.

But I have new really cool pans that I really like and yeah, lately my wokka wokka has been getting a workout.

Surprised they let you out, actually. God, take care of yourself.

My father's was higher than that and they wanted me to take him straight to the hospital. He insisted on me taking him home where he was supposed to get some pajamas. Turned out he wanted a sandwich and a couple of beers. Bloody Irish.

Re: ack

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

HAAHAHAHA, yeah, like I said above, I'm not sure what that's the number for. But they said it was low, so Imms do what the doctor says!

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

But now I really want to hear about the story you are writing. Seriously.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

CHUPACABRA.

[arsenicjade.livejournal.com]

Wait. WAIT. ARE YOU WRITING HOOKERFIC?

WHEN DID YOU TURN INTO ME?

My iron's gonna be that low when I get back to the States, just watch.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

HAAAHAHAH I AM TOTALLY NOT WRITING HOOKERFIC, THOUGH THE OTHER DAY I REFERENCED YOU, HOOKERS, JONAS BROTHERS AND BoB ALL IN THE SAME SENTENCE.

[arsenicjade.livejournal.com]

Wow, what sentence was that?

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

PRETTY MUCH A SENTENCE WHERE i SAID THAT YOU WERE READING A HOOKERFIC THAT WAS A CROSS BETWEEN JB AND BoB, and I pasted a card for you.

[arsenicjade.livejournal.com]

Excellent.

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

what type of iron pills are you taking? i need to get some, but i can't swallow those gigantic ones (my mom takes... omg they look like horse pills!)

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I haven't got any yet! But the ones I had last time were little green ones.

[huesiemama.livejournal.com]

Well, shit dear!

I was going to make some joke about the fact that I watched a blacksmith demonstration this past weekend. And that I could have obtained some raw iron for you to lick or suck on, but that just went to the bad place...

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

HAAAHAHAAAHAHA AWESOME.

[huesiemama.livejournal.com]

LOL.

And I am serious about the blacksmith demo. There was a Civil War thingie in our town and he was there. Very cool!

CHERRY FLAVA PRUNES ARE YOUR FRIEND

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

DO THESE EXIST?

[sivatheminty.livejournal.com]

CHERRY AND ORANGE OM NOM NOM NOM...can't remember what brand though....Sunsweet?

[lastrega.livejournal.com]

Don't be surprised when your pee turns orange and your crap is black. Iron supplements suck, but they suck a lot less than anaemia. My Hb was 17 once.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I have taken them twice before. They are no my fav!
