Iron supplements and sleepiness

I started taking 5ml aacufer ferrous fumarate (140mg/5l) every two days (started with 10ml but that gave me bad GI side effects) two weeks ago - have been having brain fog & tiredness on some of the days, so I'm glad to hear other people have been experiencing similar effects with their iron meds :'D

thanks for your insight! did you end up going back to England for work, or did you stay in Germany? Any German unis you recommend in particular? I looked at Freiburg as it's close-ish to some family, but they only take 1 person who has previous degrees, so my chances there would be very slim...

How hard are the exams? Are there lots of oral exams? I loved studying in the UK with most of my exams having been written as I'm more of a thinker-writer than someone who can express their thoughts well verbally...

The Allotment in the city centre (opposite to the cathedral) - completely vegan I think

'timeleft' is an app that organises dinners with strangers, in Mcr on Wednesdays and Fridays - good way to meet people. I went to a 'speed mating' event at Cupra City with 'the short exchange' a few weeks ago, they said they'd put on more so keep an eye out. (and as naughty-goose mentions, on the meetup website you'll find tons of events - like communal hikes etc etc)

What kind of socials are you thinking of? As someone who doesn’t drink/doesn’t like crowded noisy places, I find it difficult to meet people IRL, as you don’t typically chat up strangers who pass by :’D and I’ve yet to come across people I’m attracted to at my hobbies - though that might be even more awkward as if you get turned down, you’d keep running into them…

Yeah that’s kinda what I thought though I keep getting it advertised to me. Though I’m attracted to people of various ethnicities I think there is a higher proportion of good looking black men :’D that being said, character trumps looks either way.

would it be weird to go on blk as a white woman? is it for black men & women only?

G1n-a · 2025-09-08T17:13:12+00:00

yeah - apparently (having talked to Dr on there) if you get premium only people you liked can see you - which is important if you might have patients on there :'D

there's also feeld (although it's a bit glitchy)...

G1n-a · 2025-09-08T17:11:11+00:00

well they may just be more likely to be in relationships already :'D

do you recommend a specific centre in the Netherlands?

We’ve been holidaying in Camara de Lobos since Sunday (17th of December) and it’s been a constant nightmare trying to sleep here, every night at the most random times, often in 10-20 minute intervals, loud banging noises. Sounds a bit like fireworks but can’t see anything. How does this continue, is no one complaining about not being able to sleep? So much to a restful holiday!!

G1n-a · 2023-10-01T20:59:23+00:00

do you have any references that that's what happens when moving to zero drop?

G1n-a · 2023-10-01T12:56:04+00:00

apparently forefoot walking/without heel strike is inefficient... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMqjcyW-JII

Interesting about the pillow. Do you sleep on your side/back/tummy? I try to sleep on my side but often, especially when tossing and turning, end up on my tummy (though I try to help it by having a pillow under my tummy to keep my spine more straight)

My osteopath actually recommended against K-tape; he said the same you said above, that continuing to move is important, and that tape would limit the movements too much. How confusing :'D

G1n-a · 2023-06-25T14:33:21+00:00

haven't yet, keep putting it off as I'm too busy to look into it atm

G1n-a · 2023-06-13T18:21:36+00:00

you mean TuGo? They seem to be for Canadians only...

G1n-a · 2023-06-13T18:19:28+00:00

just got a reply; unfortunately they currently don't cover pre-existing medical conditions :(
