I have been feeling shitty the past, like, 3 weeks, and I think I have finally found the cause (besides crappy circumstances): iron.

This crapass nutrient is in hardly anything I eat, and even where it is, it is only in small amounts. (oatmeal = 3%, eggs = 5%, tuna = 7%) It's also the one thing that isn't included in my multivitamin.

Symptoms of iron deficiency that are also symptoms of Joy's crappy summer:
-Fatigue (LOTS of fatigue)
-Headaches
-Restless leg syndrome
-Depression
-More fatigue
-Being pale (though, for me, is that really a symptom of something?)

Like hell am I going to the doctor (= getting a blood test, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH D:), but I will be eating my Cheerios and other such things that have more iron in them than supposedly "high in iron" foods like oatmeal.

menstruation = low iron. :( I have that problem too. Sucky femaleness.

But you can get OTC iron tablets at any pharmacy I think.
