      Unfortuantely nothing I can do to keep it from rising. So giving blood is the only way to reduce the levels atm. Only thing you can do is reduce the amount it increases with a bit of a diet change, cutting down on meat and alcohol especially. And eating certain things that helps your body deal with iron more efficantly, like dark chocolate… I get to use the line, “my doctor told me to have this after every meal” 😂

        Haha well I guess at least you get an excuse for something you (hopefully) enjoy.

        No disability is fun, and for what it’s worth I’m sorry that it’s a thing you have to find a way to manage. I imagine it’s rough. I have my own disabilities that… we get by, eh?

        Thanks for answering my questions though, I’ve not met anyone in that position, but it will absolutely factor into how I interact with people in the future, so thank you for being open :)
