Last night I had a headache, struggled through 6th period, got home at 9pm and fell asleep - I have just realised that as a result I missed the Italy vs Australia . . . I hold out little hope that we won but I need details - so dedicated peoples, give me info!
I think that I am suffering from iron deficiency again . . . I know that I'm getting enough sleep to survive on enough if it's not a lot, but I feel exhausted. I keep getting shaky in response to the slightest exhurtion. Now, I hear people claim this is a simple lack of fitness however riding on my bike for an hour or more is okay - it's just the walking up the hill to school and climbing stairs that have my head spinning. When I saw my doctor in Adelaide earlier in the year she said my iron levels were lowish - Though I'd like to quibble with her definition of low - apparently the average is somewhere between (I forget the upper figure, Phili? Cathy?) let's take a stab in the dark . . . 70 and 10 . . . I was 12 . . . lowish??!! How hard to I have to work to be classified as anaemic, huh ??? 厳しー！！ Anyway, as my other mediciation is also running out I figure I should get myself along to the doctor sometime for a check-up if I can work up the courage and vocabulary! Other than that I'll just to work up my daily intake of leafy greens - and we all remember that ad about lean pork or whatever it was . . that was one f**k off big plate of spinach.
Any other vegos out there with suggestions on this issue?
Iron supplements are the common recommendation, but as I believe I've told peeps before . . . . that's one sure-fire way to clog yourself up!

apart from leafy greens chickpeas are supposed to be good... but i hear they're a bit expensive over there! maybe i can send some, and then you could lick the can as well for extra metallicy goodness.

Leafy greens, nuts and legumes are good but make sure you eat them in combination with something that has vitiman C (OJ works fine). The iron in non meat things is not easily absorbed by the body but combine with something in the vit-C to make it work.
This table has good info on vegie iron and includes lots of my favourite food.
Thanks so much to everyone who has come up with so many good suggestions. I am trying to pay more attention to what I am eating again and eat almost two bunchs of spinach the other day and am feeling better I think - less light headed.
