  • Lindsay is like you, Michelle and has to have a venesection every four weeks .

    im like you, Helen and have low iron anemia. I’m on twice daily iron tablets but don’t really feel much better . Will just have to be patient.

    it so good to hear you upbeat and enjoying the gardening, Helen. I think the three of us have so many ups and downs and for different reasons .

    look after yourselves and sending lots of positive vibes . ❤️

  • My dr told me to take my iron before I go to sleep on an empty stomach. I take a tiny bit of vitamin c in water with it.

    cant nibble on things in the evenings though. Shame.

    the iron has made a big difference to me.

    now I’m just always indoors cos it’s so hot. Can’t cope in the heat.

    love to you both,

    helen

    Hello Michelleanne,

    something I found really helpful for the antibiotics is -poor translation- intestinal flora-

    last year I was on antibiotics that really grounded me, emotionally floored me… but after that horrible experience I always take “darm flora” (lactobacilli/ bifidobacteria/ streptococcus thermophilus… approximate spelling) .

    It even says in the antibiotics paper in the package that it can lead to low mood. Apparently It’s cos the lining of the intestine is where an important ingredient is made for the production of seratonin (as I understand it)the production happens somewhere else in the body but the building blocks are produced in the gut. The capsules of gut flora replaces the necessary ingredient for the “workforce” /bacteria to be able to produce it. It’s made a huge difference to me. Also my GP keeps a note of the antibiotics that work for me and those that don’t.

    I wish you luck and strength. They really knock us out… sending love. I hope they work.

    love to you both
