went physician today & i found out that i have Iron deficiency anemia, or rather sideropenic anemia.so went to to read up about it on the web just now, and they wrote something that kinda freaked me out. (see bold)
"Iron deficiency anemia is characterized by pallor (reduced amount of oxyhemoglobin in skin or mucous membrane), fatigue and weakness. Because it tends to develop slowly, adaptation occurs and the disease often goes unrecognized for some time. In severe cases, dyspnea (trouble breathing) can occur. Unusual obsessive food cravings, known as pica, may develop.(eg.., coal, soil, feces, chalk, paper, soap, ash, etc)"
oh well.
