A couple of things I forgot. A serve of red meat doesn’t have to be a huge steak or a plate full of chops. A tablespoon sized piece a day (maybe a LITTLE larger) is easier to get through and would probably be enough.
Happy Birthday Nathan.

So sad about your Nan. It’s possible your not feeling well could also be related to the stress you’re feeling over Nan. Here’s a list of iron rich foods, try to include some of them in your salads maybe? Bananas, sesame seeds, (I eat these daily in my porridge)eggs, walnuts, apricots, peaches, raisins, prunes, sunflower seeds, parsley, onions and spinach. Meat, of course, which everyone knows, but also poultry, fish and oysters. Liver and kidneys are excellent if you like that type of thing. For energy levels try a teaspoonful of Malt Extract daily. It has most of the B vitamins in it.

Firstly, Veronica. I am so sorry. There is not alot else to say. I am thinking of you and you Mum and your Nan.

happy birthday to Nathan,

With the dizziness. Your BP is probably low too. Even though you can’t eat much, you should try to keep up your fluids. That will help to keep your blood pressure up and help with the dizziness too.
Can you take iron? I know some women get to a point in their anaemia when the iron makes them sick as well. If you can, try FGF with a couple of vitamin C chasers (it helps with absorbtion and stops constipation).
If you can’t stomach the tablets, most health stores stock a liquid iron (I can’t remember the name, will have to get back to on that one)you can get. It is flora based, so easily ingested and doesn’t taste too foul.

Hi Veronica,

Happy Birthday Nathan.

Good luck with tonight’s bedtime battle, been there and it ain’t much fun! Get your blood pressure checked (sooner rather than later) as that can cause dizzyness. Could also be a viral infection as your resistance is low at the moment.

So sorry about your Nan, I lost my Dad to Mesothelioma and my younger sister to Breast Cancer. I am doing well after my second primary breast cancer, so, hopefully there will be some treatment for your Nan that will help. Multiple shit usually happens when you are least prepared to deal with it. Hang in there, you are going to get through all of this.

Thanks guys for all the support, I really appreciate it. It’s a shitty shitty thing.

Nathan had a good birthday (I think). He still had to go to work though, poor boy!

I tried to get a doctors appointment for this week, but the doctor was booked out entirely. Do you think everyone else may possibly have been a touch annoyed at how things were when he was gone too? Heh.

And the dummy weaning, ugh. It is the middle of winter and bitterly cold here so I am not loving having to get out of bed numerous times a night. Rest assured though she will not be having a dummy ever again. I might have to wean her off sleeping with me, but she won’t have a dummy.
