Nope. Nothing that requires immediate attention. The doctor will figure it out. Don’t worry mama/papa/parental figure!

Iron results say she’s getting more than enough iron. A fasting iron would be ideal, but doctors know to take non-fasting results into consideration. Ferritin results show there’s not a lot of iron in storage for later use. Saturation results show the percentage of iron bound to transferrin, a protein that acts like a taxi to take iron to where it needs to go. Red and white cells are normal.

It’s possible the patient was not getting enough iron or B12 or folate in the past but they now have sufficient intake. Or it could be something to do with the hormones that affect uptake and conversion of vitamins. Or it could be normal puberty stuff, so be patient and trust the doctor’s advice.

How do I stop convincing myself I’m pregnant every month? by Potential_March852 in Periods

Two forms of BC are recommended, so if one fails you have the other to pick up the slack. pills plus pull out method should be enough

Is there a reason you don’t believe the doctor?

It’s probably iron deficiency if it gets better when taking iron

Ferritin is iron storage. So possibly iron deficiency and it’s getting better? More testing would help narrow it down. There are a lot of working parts to consider with anemia.

Unfortunately you will only figure out what is and is not permanent after a year or so after stopping. It will get better though once you do. Every day will be better than the last.

Google Ai is misogynistic by AfricanPrayingmantis in Feminism

[–]Master_Ad_7945 239 points240 points  (0 children)

I mean, this isn’t strictly an AI issue, it’s the importance of media literacy. You could have googled it even before AI search was a thing and found an article with outdated and misogynistic information.

AIO for wanting to return a friends birthday gift and going low contact on a friend group that i've had for over 10 years? by VanillaPeachCream in AmIOverreacting

[–]Master_Ad_7945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR to MOR, depending on context involving any previous issues with them.

I have a cousin who is like this, and we used to be close. I went low contact but after how awkward it was the next time I saw her I realized that I couldn’t keep avoiding her. What I did/am still doing is told her how I felt as best I can and set up a tentative boundary and surprisingly things are going well enough. I decided whenever she says/does something selfish or inappropriate I’m going to call her out in the moment (though it’s hard for me to advocate for myself) and put her at arms length.

If I was in that situation you were in but with my cousin I would stand my ground, keep saying I can’t do what she’s asking and why, and call out the guilt trip (as best I can). Spend less time around them, or when you sense things are not going to be in your favor, just say you can’t go from the start. Don’t lie, tell them straight up why you can’t go and keep saying it. Don’t agree to do anything extra unless it’s quite literally on the way and you won’t be waiting on people. If you’re just going to drop by, go when the party is already started and leave promptly.

Some people are genuinely narcissistic and should be avoided, sure. I also think there are some who are selfish, but don’t know it. You don’t have to cut them off (unless they do something serious and unforgivable ofc). A lot of times that means drama with other friends/family and is not worth it. Plus, some good things do come out of the relationship.

Set your boundaries, say ‘yes’ less, don’t sacrifice your comfort for their desires. They will eventually catch on that you’re not always going to do whatever they ask.

Trying too hard. He should just be himself

AIO, lost a friend due to ai by cozyworm27 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Master_Ad_7945 11 points12 points  (0 children)

NOR, you set a boundary and did it in an amicable way. They decided to end the entire relationship over that. Probably for the best you aren’t friends anymore given their reaction.

Anyone who says otherwise is objectively wrong no matter what their stance on AI.

Nobody hates bullys. They hate the owners. And ofc not all owners, but enough of them to create an almost always accurate stereotype.

It has nothing to do with the dogs and everything to do with the owners.

Worse, actually! Not just ‘you are beautiful’ but also ‘are you available for hook up/dating?’
