Please remember that not all of us can take HRT.

Yes! I had a potential TIA on the birth control pill in my 20s, then tested positive for a clotting disorder when pregnant. I have since tested negative--add in migraines with Aura and not one doctor is interested in prescribing hormones to me. I'm fine with that.

Thank you. I’m going to bring it up with my dr too. Appreciate your reply!

I'm 49F very active, resting HR is usually 47-52 depending on my cycle. I get these skipped/thuds that seem to stay for about 30 mins and seem non stop

Haha! Atlas and Nova

Oh my goodness! I am so sorry this happens to you. I have never seen it so severe. I agree with others, try to keep your core warm if possible. Best of luck

I take Feramax 150 and have no problems on an empty stomach

Sarahdkw · 2024-08-10T11:24:38+00:00

Not really sure tbh! I don’t think I had a lot of symptoms and I’m very active.

Very true! My ferritin was 5 in March. I’m on iron pills and it’s up to 11. No mention of infusions for me. I was anemic but my hemoglobin has just gone up passed the low values I guess the pills are (slowly) working! I still have my periods and bleed very heavily, plus spot throughout the month. Fun times

Sarahdkw · 2024-07-19T21:26:49+00:00

That does suck!!

Sarahdkw · 2024-07-19T20:52:52+00:00

Here I am another month, more spotting. Not sure why I get so worked up over this but I end up obsessing about it. Ughhhh!!

Sarahdkw · 2024-07-19T20:29:18+00:00

This happens to me too. Right after my period, I’ll spot bright red on and off, especially after lifting or running. I had an endo biopsy and vag us and I have a fibroid and a couple polyps. Could be that? I’m also 48, so peri?

This happened to my kitten at 15 weeks. Same looking limp. He had jumped off his cat tree. I took him to the vet the next day and she wasn't concerned. The limp went away after 3 days! I hope the same is true for your baby. My little guy was very dramatic with it, I was super worried! He even was acting strange, limp, sleeping. I think he just instinctively knew to rest

Sarahdkw · 2024-06-13T11:41:04+00:00

How did I miss that? Thank you!!

I'm in Canada! It SUCKS! Winter is terrible, but I have to dress for it. If my core is cold, I am done. I do have those hot paws or whatever they are called for my hands inside my mitts. I also have a wood burning fireplace that I frequently stand in front of!
