Amanda,
Thank you so much for all of those ideas! I'm noticing trends in my diet that seem to cause more abdominal pains than others. I never feel like I get enough sleep,and have moments where it seems like I cannot keep my eyes open for anything. I'm just constantly tired. I've never had an issue with my iron though. I donate blood or platelets often so I had been having it checked about once a month at my donation appointments, it was always high enough to donate, but I don't know if it's ever been too high. That's interesting though.

I am in therapy being treated for PTSD currently, but when I go to Mayo I'm going to go to a cognitive behavioral therapy for pain management.
I appreciate you taking the time to share with me!
