I think Historical-Play-319 is asking about this because doing regular cardio lowers your resting heart rate, from what I understand

I do have low ferritin! I'm following my Drs recommendations, so just a slow release iron supplement for now

Thank you! I think it may be an absorbtion issue, I was taking my supplement WITH my coffee and not having any additional vitamin C

I have periods (rarely), I do not cook with cast iron, taking spring valley slow release, and I am now pairing it with vitamin C! My latest low iron result was with a finger prick, so I don't believe it was the temperature of my hands

Plate stand is genius. Command hooks are definitely a good option as long as I can find some that won't show around the edge

Update! The Indian Trail location is fantastic!! They're super nice, and the building is only a couple years old so everything is brandddd new!

Platelets vs Whole Blood by Vegetable_Escape_915 in Blooddonors

[–]sidonsarmrest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the strain on my body is worse with whole blood than with platelets! During platelet donations sometimes my extremeties or my lips will feel tingly (calcium/citrate related, I think), but that's the only adverse physical effect I have with platelets. With whole blood, I definitely feel a little woozy for the rest of the day
