Just as the title says.

I’m very anemic, and I’ve been struggling to address this. In the last week, I started taking iron supplements to address my fatigue, and things feel a bit… strange.

I’m still tired, but I sometimes feel/am acutely aware of my heart beating?

Idk. Shouldn’t take only a week to see/feel results, right?

Any insight?

(No easy access a doctor / medical professional at this time: American. Thank you.)

    Did I miss something? The gut-AU/HD link was established as legit enough to continue research for a while now, its just that idiot ex-doctor saw the language being used and ran with it to make money off of telling people that the old MMR vaccine may lead to some fake ass desease that caused autism.

    Gut biome is pretty important and relevant to internal medicine throughout. I’ve not heard anyone say for certain that all ADHD cases are caused by bad gut health, but neither did the comment you are strawmanning.

      I should not be entertaining bait, but here goes:

      Gut biome is important to many things with our bodies. I agree.

      But to say that a lifelong neurological affliction is caused by a “bad gut biome” is disinformation, at best.

      It’s a slippery fucking slope once someone claims “x causes y” with no absolute conclusion. Once a scientific study comes out saying that “ADHD is caused by xyz”, I’ll take that into consideration.

      Sick as fuck of people claiming that my neurological disorder can be CURED by keto or diet or some shit. We can live make healthier choices in order to make managing ADHD easier, but, no, it’s never been proven to be caused by fucking gut biome or whatever. If it’s proven otherwise in the future, I’ll accept that. Fine. Cool.

      But for now? No. Find me an actual fucking cure, and then I’ll stop being angry about shitty disinformation.
