Nutritional Update

I got some good news recently that I thought I'd pass along. I've been struggling for a while with getting enough nutrients - probably because food usually goes through me so quickly. Anyway, in order to have enough calcium in my blood for basic functioning, my body was having to steal it from my bones. This is what your body is supposed to do on the short term so that your muscles and everything keep working, but not such good thing chronically as I don't want osteoporosis before I'm 40. Well, I just got the latest round of blood work back and my bones are no longer dissolving! Hurray! On the flip side, I'm now anemic - but that is much less serious. Everything else is good, so I'm pretty happy.
