A difficult several weeks

I found out i had high iron in my blood and my stores. i was feeling tires, draggy and didnt have much energy, still don’t.

I had a phone call appointment with my MD in May asking what i had changed in my diet that might be causing this. I said nothing that i could think of. After this conversation i stopped taking my AG1 supplement and stopped taking vitamin C as that help your body absorb iron. After 5 weeks of not feeling great from not taking any thing on a daily basis i had blood work done on the 2nd of July. My levels had gone down. Which is good. The other factor i had not thought of was our well water at the farm, To my parents knowledge they had never had it tested for the kinds of minerals it contained. I don’t drink the well water often but i was supplementing it is my water bottle every couple weeks. It has been about 2 weeks since i stopped drinking or cooking with any well water at all. According to the lab paperwork i need to have blood taken every 6 to 8 weeks until my iron and stores levels return to what is deemed as “good”. I will be happy if getting blood taken fixes this.

I am wanting to go back on either a multi-vitamin or start taking the Ag1 again as i felt better when i was on either of them, I do not want my iron levels to come back up. When i stopped taking AG1 i was supplementing in a tablet of of Emergen C every couple weeks for preventative measure of getting sick. I have not taken vitamin C for over a month and i just want to have some energy back.

I am taking the withania complex for anxiety and trintellix for depression, have also intoduced rodiola, it is supposed to have the same effects as consuming a cup of coffee in the morning (a stimulant) but without the shaky jitters and crash that i would experience from Coffee. I have not had a true cup of coffee in over 5 months, if i have coffee it is Decaf.

I start my move to the city in 3 weeks and start school in 7 weeks. I am excited and nervous, i still have to figure out some financial stuff and logistically organize the move into the building. I will be going on lots of walks and trying my very best to stay on a budget.

I will also be looking for a part-time job on weekends and depending on the homework load possibly evenings as well.

Would love to find something remote and work from home, customer support? doing house checks-would be preferable but i have to get clients first.

I hope everyone is doing okay and enjoying the summer thus far.

Until next time,

Be happy, I love you all!
