anemic
earson: ray montagne - hannah .. the reindeer section - the 12 years it takes sometimes
eyeson: i love you man (see this, hilarious) - empty threats
thoughton: deficiencies
so i guess i got a lot of questions answered .. wondering why i was tired all the time but awake all night, so weak so easily, why my heart raced when i took the stairs and why i felt so frequently nauseous .. the headaches ..
so nothing nuts. no HIV, no herpes, no mono, nothing like that. but apparently my vegetarianism's caused me to be iron deficient and anemic. so it's time for vitamins, OJ, cans of beans. anything to increase the iron, increase the red blood cells. i don't have another MD's appointment until the 16th, so i'm hoping nothing goes drastically wrong before then.
interesting how easily you can feel full, how you can feel empty - how things feel purposeful, and then you feel like you're standing with your toes in the air and your heels on the edge - i wonder if having more iron will improve this feeling. wouldn't that just be the dick's nit? (and hey, did you know that whole grains and coffee actually DECREASE your ability to absorb iron from other food? ff.)
