I think I'm pretty good there. :)JavaChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06816858010039395389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1029689049331850972.post-74210315163128439242013-03-15T10:40:02.250-03:002013-03-15T10:40:02.250-03:00You need to take/eat vitamin C with the iron so th...You need to take/eat vitamin C with the iron so that it is better absorbed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1029689049331850972.post-56578953564531887682013-03-14T23:58:05.271-03:002013-03-14T23:58:05.271-03:00Oh I'm so sorry to hear about your hearing.

I was really anemic during my pregnancy and I found that changing my diet helped a lot. Also consuming vitamin c while you take iron or iron rich foods helps you absorb the iron better.

It's hard to know my hearing is fading away and there's nothing I can do about it. <br /><br />And I'm coming up on 43 at the end of April, so we're not so far off in age.

Like you, they just thought they were tired and thought it was a normal feeling. So glad you booked a doc appt and are hopefully going to get some help in this area. SOrry to hear about your hearing, I can't even imagine. I would have done the same, broken down in tears. Yes, there are options and yes, things could be worse, but don't let that take away from the way you feel, you have every right to feel that way. xoChristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04856667594694122377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1029689049331850972.post-81270973786004392072013-03-11T08:54:40.325-03:002013-03-11T08:54:40.325-03:00Im so like you in that when I feel theres light (A...Im so like you in that when I feel theres light (A DIAGNOSIS!
