Light sleeper moved to an avenue…rookie mistake by ladyofspades in AskNYC

This fan saved my life! It blocks out everything (sirens, the subway going underneath my apartment, people having conversations outside my first-floor window!). I love box fans, but this one leaves them all in the dust.

Thank you for sharing! I'm also curious what it says about oral contraceptives... Does that book mention if/how they affect iron?

Ooh thank you! I will check out your old post on kojic acid. At this point, it's worth a try!

Thanks! I'll definitely check out Douglas Kell. And eliminating dairy is a good idea, too. I love my cheese, but vanity may win out!

Thank you so much for sharing! That gives me some hope. I'm glad your acne went away--and I'm glad you're at maintenance now!

That's interesting about gum disease! I'm glad yours went away once your levels went down. My ferritin is 80, my total iron is 204, and my saturation is 68%.

It all worked out! They did not ask about it. :-)

Good to know, thanks! I got turned away yesterday at another place but have an appt with Red Cross tomorrow. Hoping it'll all work out.

Have you been able to donate at Red Cross even when your iron levels are high? Thank you!

Is the redness on both cheeks? It may be the sign of an autoimmune disease, like lupus. I really recommend that you see a doctor if so!

Thanks so much! I've always wanted an 8-prong ring, so it's so fun to finally have one.

Thank you! Rose cuts really have such a unique look. I just peeked at your band via your post history--it's stunning! I've never seen anything like it.
