      hi again 😃

      i checked my iron out as i was having brain fog and feeling lethargic,getting a metalic taste in my mouth ,the dr put me on iron tablets (i have to remember not to take them close to drinking tea ) I tried three months on iron tablets,then three months off to see if my body maintained the right iron level, which it didn't.Eventually i was sent for a colonoscopy as im 51,but all was fine there.So i am back on the iron and expect to feel a lot brighter soon.

    ive lost a weight since june last year, no appetite, bloating, nausea, i get the pain in my right arm & exhaustion too. i think alot of our problems are menopause symptoms made worse by anxiety its a vicious circle 😦
