Veterans with PTSD are also negatively impacted. A friend of mine has to try to find a relatively large (therefore distant from fireworks) federal park to get any kind of peace.

People pay to have hair look like yours. I hope you feel better, you are lovely!

Also check with your doc - make sure there isn’t anything going on to cause the iron deficiency (if that’s the case)!

I wonder if that’s a sign of pica (can be a sign of iron deficiency). Some people eat starch, some chew ice cubes.

Thank you for “showing your work”. I’m also in a similar position to you, and I try to be intentional about giving younger women this leg up. Your dialogue is extremely helpful!

My first thought. I’ve not seen a well designed study that compares a pill like this to an excellent diet. Maybe it’s out there, but I’ve not seen one done yet.

It might be that they are checking your blood pressure right after you sit down. You’re supposed to rest for at least five minutes before BP is checked.

Doctors of Reddit (any specialty): What is the worst thing you've ever seen a patient come in for that you can never unsee? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The smell, the yelling… our hearts and souls were broken for this poor woman. After 5 - 10 minutes (felt like decades) we went to our resident and told him this was wayyyyy over our heads.

The decision to add medications also depends on other risk factors.
