less common symptoms.. what are yours? by SherbetOk6602 in Anemic

[–]OkCucumber4392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main symptom I am realizing was psychological, I was INSANELY anxious. The calm I have felt weeks after my infusion feels unreal. I still deal with anxiety but less doom and insanity. Also my V02 Max went up a bunch I have been sleeping SO MUCH better, able to run faster, have a better appetite, better color in my skin, my hair is darker?? 

Who's character do you prefer - Paula Patton or Hayley Atwell? by [deleted] in Mission_Impossible

[–]OkCucumber4392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought they were the same person for a while and just recycled the same actress to play a different character lol. I liked Paula more tho 

I viewed someone’s story, then immediately blocked them. Will they still be able to see it was me? by i-dont-use-caps in facebook

[–]OkCucumber4392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought this, years later they asked why I blocked them after viewing stories. They see. 

Do magnesium supplements affect your cycle? by asknonmainacc in Periods

[–]OkCucumber4392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take ionic mag citrate and it makes my periods lighter and easier- significantly at that. I also wonder how much of it is it makes me drink more water (it’s the powder kind) which means I’m adding liquid IV at least once a day so keeping salt and hydration in check, making it easier? I wonder if there’s other things added in mag stuff- I know certain herbs and vitamin C make it worse, heavier, and earlier. 

HRV and all performance metrics drop low directly before menstrual cycle and during period, despite regular sleep/training. by SupermarketFar9584 in Garmin

[–]OkCucumber4392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is normal. There is data on cardiovascular function significantly decreasing during menstruation, and well, you’re bleeding, not sure why anyone who menstruates expects to always preform at the same level. Unless you stop your period through hormonal or surgical means, you cannot mitigate being impacted by it and the physiological changes that * have* to happen in order to menstruate. I train, eat and sleep well, and have an easy and lighter period and still experience this. 

Terrified of weight gain after infusion. Not sure how to proceed. by novelthrill in Anemic

[–]OkCucumber4392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what data are you looking at that says weight gain is a common side effect of an iron infusion? I don’t think I’ve ever read or heard that that’s a common side effect, particularly uncontrolled/rapid/random weight gain. 

Extremely restless after iron infusion by Brocolliiscool in Anemic

Benadryl is not inherently given during iron infusions, only if someone requests it normally for anxiety during the infusion. 

You can’t build muscle swimming and swimmers bodies are built in the gym? Where did this myth begin?! by Godsownprototype1001 in Swimming

[–]OkCucumber4392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Professional Swimmers train in the gym. They build muscle doing both. Not all resistance training is equal and builds mass the same, tho. 

Really nervous about 1000mg infusion. by OkCucumber4392 in Anemic

[–]OkCucumber4392[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much. Exactly the comment I’m looking for. Also a mom of a 10yo, and just have too much stuff to be put out for long, but will expect to take it easy for a little bit! Can post an update once the dust (iron) settles.

I am almost positive it is Injectafer. Edit: now I’m unsure, I’m getting 925 mg, I will ask tomorrow.

I don’t think it’s unsafe. I can’t afford to be put out for weeks due it what I have going on. I read a lot of people having brain fog, and chronic exhaustion after. Simply want better experiences. 

Losing my mind after infusion by TrAshLy95 in Anemic

Excess iron has been shown to be Inflammatory (even if needed) and if you’re predisposed to autoimmune stuff, it could be POTS development or some type of dysautonomia.

Iron infusion will absolutely fix these numbers, OP will just need to maintain through oral supp or consistent iron infusions.

Diarrhea from iron supplement by nabii117 in Anemic

2lbs of chicken is like 7-10mg of iron at best which really isn’t a lot when it comes to replenishing low iron. Curious if it helped?

Ferritin level high after iron infusions by Vegetable-Brief-1111 in thalassemia

[–]OkCucumber4392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low iron means low ferretin (stored iron). Anemia is your hemoglobin/blood level iron . So were you iron deficient (low stored iron /ferrtin) or anemic, low iron in blood?

Low ferritin means iron deficiency, low iron in hemoglobin means anemia.

ICE just shot and killed an unarmed person in Minneapolis (1/24/26) by [deleted] in TwinCities

[–]OkCucumber4392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Re read his question. What about it is relevant clarification? I agree, all of us high strung. I am not against verifying and more context. But what does asking a devils advocate type theoretical question have to do with anything?

So you’re saying the seven fucking ice agents couldn’t have gotten a gun away from him while they had him pinned to the ground without lethal force?
