    I was vegetarian diet for a year and ended up anemic. Found out when donating blood so they prescribed me iron pills and told me to come back in a couple of months.

      They’ve checked iron. Sometimes it’s low, but not super low. They’ve checked b12, and while taking supplements for that helps, it’s only like, a bit more energy. It’s a lot going on.

        my problem ultimately ended up being structural. musculoskeletal. once we started accounting for that damage we were able to make the improvement we needed. don’t rule anything out.

          It’ll take years on average to find out what’s wrong with me, given numbers. And unfortunately my insurance will end this year so it’s. Well. We’ll see what happens!

            It took… fuck. I don’t want to count but i’d guess about fifteen years to figure out my problem. And that’s not even counting the brain shit since chronic disease takes a toll on you mentally. have patience and know we’re rooting for you.
