Another NAMI question!

[Mal731]

Anybody out there been nami whammied for a low iron count? I've been taking my iron in hopes that doesn't happen...

I have never heard of that ever happening. Usually, it's anthro and eyesight that busts people down here. Have you already had a flight physical...? If so, then the NAMI shouldn't be a problem unless you have issues with the anthro and sight stuff. Good luck.

yes, there was a female marine who I worked with in student control during my a-pool days that had a really really low iron content

she was on hold with medication to see if the iron content increased

I had a flight physical last year so I could go on my first class cruise. My anthro and eyesight are just fine...but on my commissioning physical they gave me a hard time about my iron count. I had to go back and get it tested for three days in a row. I figure its a good excuse to go to outback and eat a big steak

Punk,

I too know a Female Marine Whammied for a long time because of IRON. She was an avid runner and was pretty skinny.....but she is doing fine now. I would say just eat normally and if you are a "Super Athlete" like she was, make sure you are getting your vitiams, minerals you need........(another fact about runners and flying........Long distance runners have reduced G-tolerance

You mean marathoner and long distance cyclist (super-athletes) would not withstand G-forces too good.

Thanks for that info. Did not know that. Thought it would be the other away around; not that i have anything to prove it.

Probably because they have a chronic low blood pressure and heart rate

you dont want low blood pressure up there. it sucks you feel like you're gonna pass out all the time. the worst part is just feeling like you're gonna pass out after sex, i mean after a flight..............
