Iron and Iron Deficiency
Iron and Iron Deficiency
Some people take iron because they feel tired and "run down" all the time, and they believe that they have anemia and thus, need to take iron. In the vampire community, I have seen people automatically dish out the advice "Oh, you're a vampire? You need iron!"

Pica Basics
Occaisionally someone gets the idea that blooddrinking is one of the many forms of Pica, and assumes that anyone engaging in blooddrinking practices are suffering from it. This is usually followed by advice to see the doctor (which, actually, is good advice anyway...) to get the "problem" fixed. This article will explain what Pica is - and isn't - and explain why blooddrinking is not Pica behavior.

Insomnia Basics
Definition of Insomnia
Insomnia is a common problem characterized by a persistent difficulty falling asleep and/or staying asleep, despite having ample time to do so. This can range from mild to severe, depending on how often and long it happens for. A patient with insomnia may be tired and grumpy during the day, have trouble concentrating, and be prone to falling asleep. Many people are sleepy during the day just because they went to bed too late the night before - in this case, they don't have a sleep disorder, they just simply didn't get enough sleep for when they have to get up the next day.
