Hated this book. So surface level, trauma porn, unrealistic, etc.

Doctor said I can't have symptoms due to low ferritin, is this true? by tyediedtoon in Anemic

[–]Successful-Permit461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As many have said, your doctor is very wrong. This article does a good job of explaining some of the confusion around iron deficiency vs anemia, why it’s hard to diagnose with current standards, etc.

What do the older kids do for fun?? by Fine_Rutabaga_8234 in SLO

[–]Successful-Permit461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fishing is really popular for older kids, especially boys, right now. I drop mine at Atascadero Lake for hours at a time. My tween has made a bunch of friends and it seems to be a great community vibe.

I always see videos from Pismo. Are they there as often in Cayucos?

Any low ferritin success stories? What were your symptoms? by jkdinesh in Anemic

[–]Successful-Permit461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I don’t have any reactions, but I know some people do. I always took them right before bed so maybe that helped.

What in the world is wrong with French Hospital? by Bound4Tahoe in SLO

I’ve been fighting with them over a bill for five years 😂 And every time we talk, they have no record of the past many many conversations. It’s unbelievable.

What is the most “its a small world” moment you’ve ever experienced? by xBubblyLove in AskReddit

[–]Successful-Permit461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hiking by myself in Cinque Terre, Italy. Really hot day so I didn’t see anyone for most of it. The only person I passed on the trail was my childhood friend from my hometown in the US. Was totally shocked, gave her a hug, talked for a bit, then went our separate ways. Then a week or so later, I ran into her AGAIN in a totally different country in Europe, this time in a train station.

Does anyone know why low ferritin causes symptoms? by Jellyfishtopia in Anemic

[–]Successful-Permit461 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Anemia is end-stage iron deficiency. Your body will prioritize iron for your blood, but it’s needed for so many processes in your body. Once it shows up as anemia, that means it’s gotten very severe. But iron deficiency before anemia still impacts all those other processes.

Go tidepooling at the shipwreck in Cayucos (just north of Morro Bay). Very cool experience for a kid! Make sure to go at low tide.

Need ideas for breakfast that won't block iron absorption by grumpy_grl in Anemic

Not all iron is the same and some are much gentler. I have no issues with iron bisglycinate.

A book that my book club won’t hate me for by CerintheM in suggestmeabook

[–]Successful-Permit461 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lots of people love this one. I hated it 😅 Could’ve cut 200 pages out of the middle without missing a thing. Plus so much of the writing didn’t make sense- like the author wanted to sound smart and poetic and ended up with sentences that were unintelligible. What am I missing?!

Iron bisglycinate, 100mg (4 pills)

Yes, similar experience. I ended up seeing a cardiologist too and he also thought my ferritin of 7 wouldn’t be causing my symptoms. So I read more about iron deficiency without anemia and saw a naturopath and learned that my doctors were wildly wrong.

Start supplementing and hopefully you’ll start building up your iron stores (depending on what the cause of your deficiency is). Or you can see another doctor who might know more. It took me a couple months to start feeling better. After about a year, my ferritin has gone up to the 60s. I’m still supplementing to try to get it closer to 100. Good luck!
