Hi James,
Thanks for the info, again! I have a few questions and comments. I dont ever take Ibuprofen, aspirin or Tylenol or anything like that. It is very rare, like once every 5 years if I do. So thats out. I dont have a lot of pain dunring menstration, and its not a long duration, but usually quite heavy and full of clots. I am getting a pelvic ultrasounnd in July, will that detect endometriosis? I havent been on Birth Control since I was a teenager, but I thought that it may help with the acne problem I seem to be having in the past few years. I was 17 before I got my first Zit, but lately it seems I have them every where on my body, face, neck, shoulders, back, chest, even one on my knee the other day. Mom thinks I am allergic to perfume like she is (Laundry detergent, shampoos etc.) but it doesnt change if I switch. I did not know that about spinach! Thanks!
Here is the question I have been dreading to ask...would drinking energy drinks have anything to do with my body not being able to absorb any iron that I did intake? When I started being tired all the time, which was about 3 years ago, I started looking for something to help keep me awake. I have taken Energy Pills, with Ephedrine in them, and drink energy drinks on a pretty regular basis. I have stopped since I went to the Dr. in order for my iron levels to increase and in hopes that I will regain my energy levels.
