I need iron. But my body is craving coffee
I got told yesterday that my ferritin stores were basically non existent. They are at 6. But my hemoglobin is mostly normal. Okay... But why do I want coffee?
Why is it that when you get severe iron depletion you don't crave meat? You crave sugar and coffee?
I passed out today on the couch while my youngest stuck her fingers in my nose and ears and laughed. I had a 20 minute nap from exhaustion. But I wake up with a headache craving coffee. Something that I'm told STOPS iron absorption therefore I shouldn't have every three hours like I was before. But I think I'm gonna go ahead and have some. I can't take it anymore I need to feel energy.
I'll just take extra iron supplements later. When it's too late for coffee.
