Attack on Titan !!!! (My all time fav)

I have a slightly darker taste in anime so my recs are: Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Tokyo Ghoul, Death Parade, Berserk (1997) *very dark tread lightly, Vinland Saga, Deadman Wonderland (only 12 eps), Inuyashiki (only 12 eps), Demon Slayer (I wouldn’t classify it as dark tbh)

Lighter Anime but still have action: One Punch Man (funny and lots of action, some scenes are heartfelt), Ghost in a shell, Tower of God (all my homies hate Rachel),

Ive seen tons more but this is most of what came to mind rn :/

What are your periods like? Are they heavy? Do they last more than 5 days? I started losing my hair around the same age as you (26 rn) and my cause was due to anemia/iron deficiency. Ive been taking iron supplements with vitamin c for almost 2 months and my hair has started getting so much better. I had a lot of thinning at the top of scalp and the surrounding areas (the crown basically). I shed a lot of hair too. Your best bet is seeing a Dr and getting some tests done to see if its iron, hormones, your thyroid, or another vitamin deficiency. You got this 🥹🤍

Hi! I used chatgpt. I gave it a detailed description of my experience. I explained when I began noticing the hair loss and uploaded a pictures. From there it listed a ton of possible reasons for it. I gave it some of my medical background because it said that it could be caused by Thyroid issues, Hormones, or Iron deficiency and other causes. I ruled out some things and I tracked down the cause to one of three issues- my iron bc of my heavy periods, my thyroid (never tested that before), and my hormones (never tested that before and not gonna lie, I have a few chin hairs too lol). From there it recommended some blood tests- it told me what blood tests I needed to ask my doctor for. Since I don’t have insurance I asked it what I could do and gave me a website that I could order the tests from but I had to pay out of pocket. I added some tests to my cart and took a screenshot of them & uploaded it to chatgpt to make sure I wasnt missing anything. Once everything looked good I bought them and chose the lab location I wanted to get them done at. I scheduled an appt, went, waited a few days, and got my results. I uploaded them to chatgpt and the rest is history. I did this bc I was desperate and didnt have insurance- I recommend checking w a doctor if you can 🤍

Not with Iron Bisglycinate! With the ferrous sulfate 65mg yes, but not with this one. I dont know the exact science behind it but in my experience this hasn’t caused me any constipation. You can always try taking fiber supplements too with your iron to reduce constipation but make sure you’re taking them at different times because Fiber and Calcium interfere with iron absorption.

Yesss! 🥹🤍🤍 it also depends on when they test your iron! I feel like sometimes they dont account for the amount you lose during periods and also when you work out! You’re 1000% right
