So, I have this thing called Barry. Barry is a thyroid nodule. But he’s small, so he’s okay. But anyway. I was getting Barry checked out as it had been awhile, and they ran some blood tests on me at the same time. It turns out Barry is quite comfortable and fine and still pretending to be a bit of my thyroid, but I’m quite iron deficient. This is weird, because I like red meat. A lot. It seriously would account for 4 or 5 dinners in a week.
So, now I have to eat more red meat (happy to do so), but also throw in green vegies (not so happy to do so) and the like, and take a tablet a day for three months and then see how I go. And put up with everyone telling me that it’s all in my head and of course I can swallow tablets like everyone else, when really, it’s going to be an interesting process.
But, at the very least it explains my lack of energy and concentration for the past little while. I was just starving my organs of oxygen, that’s all.
(Oh, and no more giving blood for a bit…)
