Thread Name: BS: Anemia Got Holt of the Hillbilly....
Subject: RE: BS: Anemia Got Holt of the Hillbilly....
Sounds like "the change" to me--have you tried estrogen?
But seriously folks, I sometimes have to take Kelp tabs because I am allergic to almost all veggies & all melons & many fruits. You can also eat dark chocolate--I'm not allergic to that!

   From my mother's side of the family I inherited many of the family traits, including chronic anemia. Since time immemorial, the women in the family used cast iron till all that aluminum came out. After my mother inherited her mother's castiron skillet--that Granny bought second hand & the handle was broke at the time almost 90 years ago--she didn't have the anemia anymore.

   When I was rear-ended in my vehicle 4 1/2 years ago, what was thought to be concussion related hard-to-think-straight-itis has continued. I have alot of trouble with anything to do with numbers. I can no longer memorize lyrics & tunes easily, it takes months, & sometimes the lyrics never seem to stay. Turns out that when your head whips forward-whiplash, more damage is sometimes done when the head whips back, like slight swelling or tearing of the brainstem or surrounding tissues. This has caused some of these problems for me. I almost need a retriever whenever I attempt to have a conversation, because I frequently cannot 'retrieve' a word from my brain & have to substitute some other word. I tire way too easily, & have headaches.    Any chance that you flopped your head around whilst tossing boxes & furniture? You might check with a good Osteopath, They're one-stop-shopping-convenient, as they know all about the chiropractic type manipulation AND can give you groovey drugs!
