I had a really heavy period a week ago and am now breathless and dizzy on the couch. I’ve got low ferritin (6) but my doc says all my other iron related trsts including b12 are completely normal so no action required

I do supplement iron but not all the time as it makes me constipated. I didnt have a period for 8 months due to pcos and then last weeks was so heavy (multiple overnight pads a day)

I did take some spatone last week, does this sound like it’s my anemia or something else?

Ive been experiencing numb hands, pins and needles and heaviness in my legs, dizziness, needing the toilet and just general brain fog since lunch time today (~4 hrs ago)

At lunch, i accidentally inhaled some rice and had a coughing fit and wasnt sure i got all of it out of my airways so went down a bit of an anxiety spiral. I do have low iron (ferritin is 6), however it’s been this way for years so i don’t really see a big impact day to day. I also have some histamine issue, i developed a load of anaphalaxis allergies in the last 18 months and do react to things randomly so it could be that too

Whenever i stand up it feels like I’m wading through mud and making me more anxious, does anyone have any advice or suggestions of which of the above could be causing the issue? I’ve not taken antihistamines today as I’ve not felt other issues such as mouth numbness and an itchy throat but have used a flonase nasal spray

I ate some rice for my lunch and accidentally breathed in at the same time, inhaling a few grains and involuntarily coughing. The coughing i did resulted in soreness and a wheeze but how do i know if the wheeze is my asthma being triggered by the coughing or aspiration? I’m a lil dizzy but also likely having anxiety from it

I didnt get the feeling the grain left my lungs like you usually do after coughing

Basically: any advice before i spiral please!

I’m allergic to nuts so couldnt have the califia farms vanilla flavoured milk and jumped to add several to my basket but I’ve not even finished my coffee and i have such bad stomach cramps. Theres nothing on the label i recognise as causing me a reaction, has anyone else had this?

I know i know, you can only figure out your triggers or if you’re in remission by biopsy, however beyond initial diagnosis biopsy i cant get a second biopsy on the NHS and I’ve tried three different medical practices

So we’re onto plan b: elimination

I’m vegetarian, allergic to nuts and eggs so these are already out of my diet, and i realised I’ve not had tomatoes in several weeks- more by accident than intention- however twice in this time I’ve had tomato based dishes, and in the days that followed my heart burn has returned and so has the globus sensation in my throat. It goes after a couple of days, but it’s the only thing I’ve pinned down as being connected to when i get my symptoms

I know EOE is a secondary allergy and the symptoms don’t immediately come on, but this happens within hours and lasts maybe 2/3 days after exposure

I’m going to barcelona soon and I’m allergic to eggs, peanuts and treenuts

I’m making an allergy card to give to restaurants and I was wondering if anyone on here who speaks castilian/ catalan can provide any corrections or improvements or suggestions to make sure it’s as clear as possible

I’m trying to say

I’m severely allergic allergic to eggs, peanuts and treenuts, this includes cross contamination

Soy muy alérgico a los huevos, los cacahuetes y los frutos secos, esto incluye la contaminación cruzada

Thank you!

EA luminous silk shade 5 is sold out everywhere in the UK and it’s so expensive I’m looking at alternatives, a few have mentioned refy’s new foundation and kylie skin tint- has anyone found an equivalent shade?

Other shades i match: nars SG Gobi, sculpted by aimee 2.5 porcelain

I had blood tests against walnuts, peanuts, almonds, brazil nuts and eggs, they’re the only tests I’ve had as i noticed i reacted to peanuts and almonds at 28

My doctor said after this do not have any nuts nor pine nuts to be safe - I’m really missing pesto and could make it with sunflower seeds but is anyone allergic to nuts and pine nuts (a seed)/ is it common to be allergic to both or am i being over cautious?

I’m on day 2 of my period and I’ve got through 7 maxi pads today, they are the overnight size 6 ones. When is it too many and will i be ok? I’m kinda scared of passing out, I’m definitely dizzy at times

My period is irregular and usually so light it barely needs any pad, idk whats happening this month

Earlier today i had some halloumi fries from burgerking on the way up to the scottish highlands. I found out as i was eating that they’re cooked on the same equipment as eggs, id not seen this warning before and had ate 3 of them (I’ve had them a lot before and stupidly never thought to check). This was around noon, and for three hours i had numb hands, lips and feet, headache and felt the impending doom feeling

Managed to get it under control by having two 10mg citirizine tablets and didnt need my epi pen

Tonight my throat is so sore (8pm now) as if I’ve been coughing all day. My throat was fine earlier, I’m a lil anxious cos I’m very off the grid but does this sound like a continued reaction (my other symptoms have gone) or could it just be in response to burning a citronella candle outside earlier?

Sorry if i sound silly and paranoid it’s just being so far from help scares me and today was awful
