    Eat more Oreos !

    I gave blood once at my work...went back to work and my co-worker is like you don't look good

    For the next 3hrs or so I felt faint and white as a ghost :o


    I eat oreos and drink Dr. Pepper a lot!

    I really like red bull now...:o

    113 lbs @ 5'2" is well within an ideal weight range. your problem is purely anemia. definitely take care of that!


    funny, i tried...once again to give blood, and turned away too! not b/c of weight or anemia issues...but b/c of my living in the UK for more than 3 months during the time period between 1980-1996. damn possible mad cow anitbodies. :mad: i knew about this in the past, just thought *maybe* they altered the restirction. no dice. i used to give blood regularly, and yes, AFTER my living in the UK for 1.5 years, but before they put this restriction in effect. so there are many people walking around with my madcow antibodies in any case. eh well......
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    That is pretty damn cool that you lived in the UK. :)

    it was, it was! my early 20s...good times. ;)
    few years ago got to live in prague for 1.5 months...short little reliving on being on my own and abroad....i recommend it highly to all...young/old...single/coupled.


    but on topic, bit fucked that i can't give blood b/c of it. funny too, i was a vegetarian at the time, so beyond eggs and cheese.....i didn't eat meat, so yea..i doubt any madcow in me. :p


    and i reiterate, your weight is absolutely perfectly healthy, it is your anemia that isn't. and if you drink a lot of dr. pepper and eat a lot of oreos...perhaps it's time to think towards your long-term health eh? ;) just a thought.

    anemia is definitely something to get checked out, go see your doctor! hope all is well :)

    and side note, people thinking others would be jealous of anemia? WTF? this place never disappoints with the plethora of crackheads, that's for sure lol
