Anyone Amenia

[Sami09]

Thats means low in red blood cells. thats means low in iron. i am but i guess its my own fault because i am a vegan. Just wondering if anyone else is?

[Frasbee]

Y'know what guys?

I am happy.

I mean I could be happier.

But right now I am happy.

I love you guys.

I am soooo tired.

But I love you guys anyway, I wish I could take you all to bed with me and just cuddle aaaaaaaall night.

Nothin' like cuddlin' with your favorite regs on a chilly evening.

It's cold outside, so it's chilly.

It's night time too, so it's evening.

I love you guys.

I'm going to go to bed.

Goodnight!

isn't it "Anemia" ?

You're vegan, too?! This means you're a pussy. I'll correct you after school.

you mean anyone anemic...

i am. i have to take a lot of iron during the day and i eat meat all the time.

how did you find out you were anemic?

I am always right on the border, and about 50% of the time I try to give blood, they turn me away. Anyway, Sami - eat more cereal (it's usually fortified with iron) and eat foods rich in vitamin C. Vitamin C helps the body to absorb iron.

[Sami09]

I had a blood test not that long ago and its came abck that i am. I dont have as much cells as everyone else and some of them are smaller because i dont eat meat which does give you iron.

You weren't wrong. Most foods don't have any iron in it. Don't you see that broccoli is considered "iron-rich"?

when you refer to iron, as in the vitamin, is it like actual Fe iron, like the kind rail road tracks are made of (although it VERY small portions)????

[Sami09]

Iron is very hard to get if you dont eat meat. I know i should go back to eating meat but i havent in so long properely 10 years. I dont think pills will really do the same. i know how important iron is. iron gives you energy without out you get really tried. Does anyone here not eat meat?
