I am a professor at a primarily undergraduate institution. My spouse is a research professor and works two hours' drive away. This blog is primarily about life at a PUI, but also about our family trying to make the most of an uncomfortable lifestyle.
You can't tell me that I've been absolutely defeated in the evenings for the last month was because I'm anemic! All I need is an iron supplement? Let's hope you're right.
I felt like I was becoming increasingly unable to cope for about two years, and then I found out I had a vitamin D deficiency. I started taking 2000 IU of vitamin D a day, and it turned my life around! I'm like a real-life infomercial for vitamin D!
It might be a good thing though, right? If it is I mean, and you now have supplement.... Just don't be surprised if your belly might be a bit upset to start with, or that you might need to try a different brand/concentration. Iron can be a bit hard on you....
Although I hate iron supplements, I hope they help you!
ReplyDeleteAnother supplement I don't think I could have done without has been DHA; my brain was not at all cooperating without it.
