Hello 😃

I haven't been on here for ages,best wishes to all.

I'm thinking to make an appointment to see if i have ADHD ,two of my son's have been diagnosed and i feel i too may have.Im 51,still cycling but a bit hit and miss now.Good weight,fairly fit but low in iron(all clear with colonoscopy .) Thinking to go for an iron transfusion ..hoping no side effects.DNA health test said i have a gene that can prevent proper iron absorption.

Yesterday i suddenly had my old energy back !(ovary pain the day before like ovulation) very happy and positive,motivated ,dancing around ...then all of a sudden i was yawning continuously ,cold,had brain fog and went to bed with a hot waterbottle feeling sad and unmotivated 😕 A peanutbutter sandwich stopped the yawning,so maybe that was bloodsugar levels ?

Will a Doctor take this seriously ?Would it be better to go to a Naturpath ?This morning i just want to stay in bed ,procrastinating on everything .I guess i do have some hypoglycemia and have to eat on time,but then it could be the low iron and possible ADHD.

Any suggestions as to what is going on ,and how to address it ?

Thanks in advance 😃
