For the last several months Iā€™ve experienced some strange symptoms:

-Clumps of hair falling out.

-Frequent urination all through the night.

-The ā€œshakesā€/jitters.

-Extreme craving for more water because of dry mouth.

-Stomach growling in hunger after eating a huge meal. Wanting more food.

Although I have been on a health journey involving body, mind and soul, I failed to mention I have two addictions: white rice and breads, and the occasional chocolate.

You can hear me talk about this on my Swell:

For years I have been anemic(low iron in blood) and this time after my bloodwork the other day, I messaged my doctor via email:

ā€œHey can I get those gluconate pills? I usually get them and Iā€™ve run out.ā€
