veggymeggy Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I had blood work done this week to test my thyroid function and to test for iron-deficiency anemia. I am quite pleased to say (not only does my thyroid work, but) I am not anemic! I didn't expect that I would be, but so often when someone hears that I don't eat meat, they tell me I'm going to be anemic. It was nice to get the proof for what I already know! Take that all you self-proclaimed experts who think female vegetarians/vegans are doomed to anemia! (My EKG was also normal, woot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lelle Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 sounds great a few weeks ago I also had a blood check done and although I'm half-boy half-girl I didn't suffer from any deficiencies which was quite suprising to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lelle Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 first I need to know what you are thinking to feel offended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last of the Sane Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I'm missing the point.... Lelle, could you clarify the boy/girl thingie for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lelle Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 it was just a stupid, almost sexist joke. I often characterize myself as a girl because I'm so weak and slender-built. and because it is often said that vegan girls suffer from anemia (I think that's just propaganda...) it reminded me of my blood check a while ago hope everything's clear now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
