Thanks @Blueberrybook and @MuddyBoots.

I saw my doctor about some things and the weakness. He's doing some tests but my blood work came back and I'm really low on iron.

He said I'm probably dealing with post viral syndrome (?).

So I'll be starting iron soon, he's sending a prescription to my pharmacy so I'm not sure if it's an over the counter supplement or something else. This happened years ago and it happens because I'm vegetarian, so I'm not surprised.

I know I need to eat more. It's that food isn't really doing it for me now. I did have some beans after the gym today.

Oh I have an update on my psilocybin trial. It looks like it'll be in May. I have to stop remeron though and I have to do it fast because I need to be off it for a month before the trial.

They said I'll be in the hospital for 8 hours on treatment day and then I can't drive for at least 2 days. My wife has to monitor me for 24h afterwards and I get 3 MRIs - one before, one during, and one after. They're also providing talk therapy before and after. Quite the undertaking.
