My health worries me right now. It got really bad after the "political thriller" of the previous months, and then it turned out I had severe iron deficiency. (Which apparently, from my observation, started last summer when the weather was really horrible and I barely ate and slept and was going almost crazy.)
Then now it turns out I apparently can't take iron supplements. I don't get digestion problems from them, as many people would, in fact they seem to have barely any effect on my digestion. Instead, I get massive tremble attacks, heart pounding and panic attacks, which all leads to me not being able to sleep properly, and the lack of sleep increases the problems, which makes this a doom loop. Now I tried a very soft supplement which is "organic" and supposed to have no side effects - exactly the same problems, just not as massive. I took only half the dose you're supposed to and it's really not as heavily dosed at all, so WHY AM I STILL HAVING THESE PROBLEMS??? I'm actually pondering if I might have something like iron intolerance, if that even exists, and if this might be the hidden basic reason why I'm so deeply disgusted by meat, as if my body just simply refuses this stuff to not be poisoned. But you need iron, how can you be intolerant to it??? I don't get it, it's driving me crazy.
I can eat things like cereals with iron, so I'm just doing that now. I won't touch a supplement again until I know what's going on there. I know cereals are full of sugar and not the most healthy thing to eat, but at least I can eat them without feeling horrible.
