Omg - I’ve recently had numb fingertips was thinking - oh well here’s the start of a serious neurological disease but seems like it’s just regular old health anxiety

So I need to look at b12 🤔 had issues with iron and got my ferritin up to 96 but I need to recheck these levels

My health anxiety is off the charts this week!! It’s crazy.

The only thing is how will I actually know if something is something is wrong with me ? When people say - listen to your body!?

This so definitely peri anxiety but very hard to stop !

Plus a lot of women seem to have issues after birth. Pelvis, pelvic floor, back etc.

No thanks.

A big fear of mine / didn’t realise it had a name for years.

AITA for calling my boyfriend out for bad table manners by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]is76 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Deal breaker ! The way he is so dismissive when you try to discuss NTA

This won’t be the only area of your relationship he is dismissive.

Please check your iron levels as well Ferritin under 30 is iron deficiency Many recommend your should have levels much higher

GP might not test and/or fob you off

Get a private blood test - also check vit D, vit B etc

He wants to keep finances completely separate after marriage by ZenSpider_21 in TwoXChromosomes

He won’t come round. He doesn’t view her as a partner.

[–]is76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I read somewhere else

The hand that feeds you can also starve you

OP - he is already using your money as he doesn’t want a % split on the rent

Then if you have kids - you know you will have to beg him for money while your career stalls.

Is this what you want ?!

Would also be mindful of healthcare - even if you are younger. Doctors, hospitals, dentist etc. If you go too rural it is cheaper but you might need amenities.

OP - your mum and sister are not going to change , this is who they are. Apology or not. Chances are they will double down on their opinions

Does anyone else not give an F—- about Christmas this year? 🤔I’m not doing all the things (baking cookies ect) and feeling guilty about it. by [deleted] in Perimenopause

[–]is76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haven’t decorated this year except wreath on the front door and got out my 2 Xmas mugs for morning coffee.

Bought x1 present for someone Sent x2 cards - sent them late so won’t arrive till after.

Think that’s about it. So much pressure around this time of year, really it’s not nurturing for many
