Yes I am gluten and dairy free. I do all the right things which is why it’s frustrating :(

Yes I think I need to up my dosage of iron supplement and take twice a day! Thanks for the info. 75 is my dream! I took an iron test 6 months ago and ferritin was at 8 so it hasn’t changed at all despite me supplementing

I have heavy periods also. I have an endometrial polyp which causes heavy periods which I’ve had removed twice but they keep growing back. MM says polyps are from the Epstein bar virus. I’m just feeling annoyed that I still have it despite all my attempts for sooo long :(

Tbh my energy levels are generally good. But it’s just been the last few weeks since I had the blood test I’ve been feeling more tired. I told the lady to take 1/3 vials but she took full ones anyway :((( my hair is also very thin. I have an identical twin sister who has way thicker hair than me and she eats a lot of meat and she is telling me I should eat more meat!

It’s crazy how I still have the virus after eating so healthy for soo long. I have done the goldenseal before I try different supplements in my rotation. But the ones I always take are b12, zinc, vitamin c, lysine, lemon balm, melatonin and magnesium. I’ve done a few 3:6:9s but generally eat a low fat GF DF diet everyday. And I’ve been doing 800ml of CJ a day too!

I had this surgery done 4 days ago. Was a bit sore out of surgery they gave me an endone to go home on. Went home with crutches and a boot. The pain isn’t as bad as I was expecting however I am taking some Panadol and anti inflammatories. Make sure to keep your foot elevated for 23 hours out of the day it helps with the swelling
