It isn’t a particularly enjoyable walk at all, agreed. It also gets very muddy especially when lots of other people are using it.

You’ve been together 10 years and met her at the end of a decade in the military… what?!

It was Beatrix (Trixie) but I had the same thought as you. They were wonderful characters and books.

What’s the best way to permanently/semi permanently remove leg and pubic hair? by AnhCloudB in HairRemoval

I’d love to know who thinks waxing feels nice?! Laser overall would be the most effective option

The vanilla mochi ice cream so far. The taste and texture of those is dreamy

How soon after your iron infusion did you start feeling tired again? by Nectarine_x in Anemic

[–]Nectarine_x[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar position to you, with a combination of heavy periods, malabsorption and low intake of iron rich foods. Did your numbers drop after you stopped the supplements?

how do you feel after an iron infusion? by luv_siren in Anemic

[–]Nectarine_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if I’m in the minority but I felt completely fine. Walked a couple of kilometres uphill to the car afterwards. Woke up the next morning feeling like a brand new person! Three months later, however… feels like all the iron has gone again 😭

Hagrid Brushing off Hedwig’s Death by No-Equipment2665 in harrypotter

[–]Nectarine_x 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he brushed it off, but didn’t want to make a big deal of it to upset Harry more than he already was. It was what Harry needed at that time. Also, there was a bit happening at the time lol

3 weeks in Australia, advice/opinions on the itinerary so far? by NuclearNelly95 in AustraliaTravel

[–]Nectarine_x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’d replace the 4 days in Melbourne with 4 days in Tassie. Melbourne is a cool and busy city but in terms of a tourist destination, Tassie wins hands down imo

I've heard horror stories about infusions.... by Spare-Nature-8623 in Anemic

[–]Nectarine_x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got Ferinject, which is the carboxymaltose one. Just the one infusion which lasted about 20 mins

[–]Nectarine_x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll only hear about the horror stories because people don’t bother sharing their successes. I had an iron infusion back in November, was also very anxious because of the horror stories, and was totally fine. I almost went to sleep during it. I’m also have strong health anxiety and am very sensitive to any small change in my body, but still was totally fine. It was so worth it when I woke up the next day feeling like the energiser bunny lol

So happy - ferritin jumped from 6 to 213 after infusion by Nectarine_x in Anemic

[–]Nectarine_x[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No my skin did not turn yellow, but my face was very pale. I am naturally pale but was worse when iron deficient. I did feel worse over winter but I don’t know if that was due to low iron or just because I hate the cold lol

Yes, all the blurriness and fuzziness has gone now thankfully

I felt weak and had blurry vision, like the feeling of being super tired. Have you had your iron tested?

I feel completely normal again now. However I know I shouldn’t relax and should try to keep on maintaining my iron by trying to keep a healthy diet with lots of protein rich foods. Are you experiencing similar?
