I take vitamin c to help my body absorb iron. Do you take because of anemia or pregnancy?

@NeuroticByNature Anemia, its really shitty when I get my period.

@Snowvixen I can imagine. Im not sure how anemic I am because I don't visit doctors. After my period I get feeling weird too.

@NeuroticByNature you don’t visit doctors? Why not?

@TexChik firstly I don't have insurance and secondly I don't trust doctors. There are good ethical smart doctors out there. There are also money grubbing doctors that only want to give you pills and send you for a billion tests. Ive been to the chiropractor and the dentist. So I guess I cant say I haven't gone. It was only out of necessity. The payout was minimal.

@NeuroticByNature the anemia thing is a bit more serious . You need some lab work ( blood) done. Thing can go south or really quickly With anemias
