My coldness (to the core!) is because of my poor circulation, which I have had since I was a child. This has resulted in angina, but it is not fatal.
Iron is not necessarily the item that is at fault for the feeling that one will never warm up. It could be as simple as a a low thyroid/poor circulation thingy. Both of which I am guilty of.
My heart is strong, and I have been taking kelp pills (thyroid-friendly) so I know that the occasional angina pangs are not dire.
Relax, TC! And see that Tom goes to medical school! He will be a “natural!”
Tagline!
I should get a new batch of kelp tablets: I used to take those for the iodine to stimulate my thyroid.
Tom will do great if he diagnoses “anorexia” for low iron ;-). Actually, Mom has suggested he could be a nurse, with his science interest, his size and strength, and his gift for taking care of babies.
