konj111 said:It’s probably the RDA, but whatever. 😬 The upper limit for Vitamin C (before you start seeing toxicity) is way higher than just 1 gram. I actually take about 3 to 5 grams of Vitamin C every day.

What's the reasoning behind taking such a high dose?

Are you noticing any red patches on your face, maybe some circular spots or even something shaped like a butterfly?

I could just never bring myself to get used to lentils 😢

In your world... you're the one who decides 🙏

Hey there! Just dropping in to say hello. Hope everyone is having a fantastic day. kaže:

Honestly, this constant mutual back-slapping is getting a little ridiculous. It’s becoming quite tiresome.

Honestly, I have to say, the idea of us all wearing forum merch is actually pretty great. It would be such a fun way to spot one another out in the wild. Imagine walking through a crowded mall or grabbing coffee in downtown Chicago and spotting someone rocking the same shirt. It’s a simple concept, but there is something genuinely cool about that kind of shared connection. It turns a digital community into something you can actually see in person. I think we should definitely look into making it happen. 🙂 🙄 That's just awful. 😁

Honestly, I would love to see that movie 😍

It's basically the 🙏

It’s almost like you already know me 🙄

Daniel Booth88 said:The moral of the story: always have someone by your side when you're watching a movie. Right. 🙂

That isn't always easy to pull off. 😢 😁

Daniel Booth88 said:Every single time I come across this thread, I misinterpret the vibe. I picture everyone sitting on their couches or the floor—some naked, some fully bundled up in hats and gloves without socks, maybe with a bowl of sauerkraut sitting right in front of them.

Honestly, that’s how I watch movies. I love being in those various states of dress, usually with someone else nearby. It’s not even about being romantic; it’s just so I have someone to pester every three seconds with questions like: Who is that guy? What’s his deal? Why did he do that? Where did he get that? Why isn't this character dead yet? You know the drill.

I interpret it the exact same way. 😁 😁

For what it's worth, I almost always pass out fifteen minutes into a movie and only wake up when the credits start rolling 🙄 especially if I'm watching it with company. 🤣

Red blood cell count: 10 (Normal range: 4-24)
Hemoglobin: 4.47 (Normal range: 3.86-5.08)
Hematocrit: 139 (Normal range: 119-157)

Everything looks perfectly normal.

She notes: UIBC 34 (26-59), TIBC 69 (49-75)

I'll keep an eye on it, thanks 🙂 It just won't stay centered. It’s constantly shifting between being way too low or way too high 😁

Casey Palmer5 said:Having iron levels that are way too high isn't actually a stroke of luck. In fact, it’s much more dangerous and a lot harder to manage than dealing with anemia.

So, what should my next move be? My doctor is basically telling me it isn't even an issue. 🙄

I'm leaning towards thinking this spike was just a fluke caused by something I drank or something similar, since my levels are usually on the low side. I'll just wait a while and then head back for another blood test to see where things stand...

I honestly think you should go back and get retested. It seems a bit off that your numbers jumped so far above the lower limit.

It wasn't even that short of a gap between tests; we're talking about a two-year window here. 😁 At least a year, actually. I really ought to dig through my medical records to be certain...

coastaldriver4 said:Then you're all set.
At this rate, I might as well start sucking on the radiator for warmth.

Last time I had my blood work done, my levels were at an 8 (with a normal range of 8 to 30), but now they've jumped to 35.

For me, iron is way beyond the limit😕

I’m honestly a little worried that they won't have anything playing if they don't update the schedule regularly... Unless you just show up in person, maybe there's a list posted somewhere showing what's coming out at least a month in advance? That was certainly how it worked back when I used to spend all my free time hanging out there 😁

I am never getting vaccinated.

I don't use a pillow. Every now and then during the night, I'll grab one I tossed aside and prop it under my head for a few minutes. Just a quick fix, then I toss it right back. 🙄
