  I’ve got low iron and low magnesium so I’m hoping it’s just something that I can supplement away. Amusingly, my blood appears to be not 🤘metal🤘 enough. I’m also feeling the cold much more than I normally do but I’ve also lost a bunch of weight so that could just be missing the insulation. Irritatingly it’s not in muscles I can easily reach to dry-needle.

    So you’re getting healthier and suffering? That kind of tracks to be honest. When I lost weight years ago, definitely felt it in the winter.

    Like proper felt it.

    I bought one of those spiky cushions to lie on, and that’s helped with circulation to my back heaps. Sucks for the first minute and when getting up, but does wonder.

      Like I said chatting to Gibson the other day, I’ve mostly gone vegetarian the last few years so it tracks that I’m low iron. The supplements are working, just slowly and I’m not sure that’s the actual problem. Doctors only know so much. I think I’ve got a shakti mat somewhere, I’ll give it a try.
