Menopause and weight

By: Queue Murphy
     I have an appointment with the doctor to check my thyroid.  I sit so much that I am beginning to be shaped like my office chair.  For some reason I crave chocolate and sweets all the time.  Even though I don't eat much, they throw me over the top.
     The other day I went to give blood at work and they would not take me because they said my iron was low.  They stuck 3 of my fingers to see if there was some mistake - can you believe it - I walked around with sore fingers all day.  The Red Cross rep then asked me to eat a burger the next day and come in a few days later to try and give again!!!  I think I'm going to wait until my blood goes up in iron on its own with my taking vitamins and eating better instead!
