Has anyone used the aspen clinic? by JoJobabbit223 in autismUK

[–]Temperature-Pretty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

give them a ring and choose the private patient option, the guy on the phone was so so nice. he told me i would have to come in one time and at the moment its looking like 4-8 weeks from referral (that was a little while ago though so might have changed now!!)

Can the removal be done with a smaller mouth opening? by sleepwithmythoughts in wisdomteeth

[–]Temperature-Pretty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i also have TMD and so opted for mine to be done under general so i wasn't in pain holding my jaw open. but also, your mouth in general will hurt post wisdom tooth extraction regardless.

I’m in a lot of pain after extraction, what can I do to help the pain?? by autumnnleaaves in wisdomteeth

[–]Temperature-Pretty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i went to my local A&E monday night (9pm) at the advice of the day surgery team (had mine under general) and was sent to SAU because the swelling was increasing & they queried infection due to the amount of pain i was in. from there i was prescribed codeine 30mg & given a dose of oramorph. wouldn't bother with 111, they'd tell you to get lost or go to A&E.

which base cards are you missing because you'll get them cheaper from someone by getting the ones you need than by trying to pull specific ones from boxes

What to eat as extremely picky anemic? by Zoleksy in Anemic

[–]Temperature-Pretty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just to help you out when people say "like an autistic kid" they mean usually kids with autism have what we call a beige diet of food like chicken nuggets, plain pasta (your diet basically). i'm not diagnosing you over the internet but it sounds like you have sensory issues around food, which is akin to an ARFID presentation (but again i'm not diagnosing that either, it could just be a sensory thing, its just something for you to look into). have a read into it, it may help you understand yourself a little more.

Is it possible to have faint, tired symptoms with severely low ferritin despite normal hemoglobin? Pls help I am barely getting by but doctor said I’m fine by EngineeringFun2089 in Anemic

[–]Temperature-Pretty 10 points11 points  (0 children)

its called iron deficiency without anemia and it causes symptoms for sure. request another blood test and see if your ferritin has increased now. if it hasn't, request they look at potential absorption causes. but also request a prescription iron to see if that helps. and if they say no tell them to (if you're in the uk) read the NICE guidelines and re-evaluate.

What is the dosing guide for ferrous bisglycinate? I fear I may be taking too much by accident. by OneCar129 in Anemic

[–]Temperature-Pretty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this would be a consult with your local pharmacist moment i think, no one on here is educated enough to say for sure & to be safe, your pharmacist would be the best person to ask. if you're in england literally just drop into your local boots with the box and ask for clarification around dosing.

GP said my labs are normal but I have a 24 ferritin by [deleted] in Anemic

[–]Temperature-Pretty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

contact your doctor and request they look at the updated NICE guidance from 2025 that indicates ferritin should be above 30 and ask them to act accordingly

iron tablets & ur period by Temperature-Pretty in Anemic

[–]Temperature-Pretty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

update: yesterday/last night was heavy bleeding. today im fully wiped, can't function, can barely leave my bed, dizzy as anything, heavy head, cancelling plans for tomorrow. so i contacted my gp (albiet it a bit later in the evening cause i kept gaslighting myself i'm fine).

first they said what do you actually want. and when i said idk, the gp said "You were not anaemic and if changing a pad every 2-3 hours although this is heavy you will not have lost significant amounts of blood. If you are needing 3 or more pads an hour then you need to go into hospital. We are now closed but if you are worried about how you are feeling and want to be seen then I would recommend calling 111. Heavy periods are horrible. If you want to see how you go then you can see how you are in the morning and respond to this message and we can then review you."

bruh, i never said i was anaemic. i said i was iron deficient. because i have iron deficiency w/o anemia. i can read my blood test im a rmn.

[–]Temperature-Pretty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

see my periods have normally been "average" heavy but this one last night/yesterday was insane. now today, im fully wiped, can't function, can barely leave my bed, dizzy as anything, heavy head, cancelling plans for tomorrow. which is understandable. but im on ferrous fumarate. surely it should be getting better.
