    My mom started doing that and she was also tired all the time....She finally got the Doctor to do a test to see if she had pernicious anemia...this was after a big fight because the doctor didn't think she had it...my grandmother and grandfather also had it and mom knew the symptoms...he found that she was loosing blood (it wasn't regenerating itself) and diagnosed her with pernicious anemia, started treatment and today she is very healthy....but it all started with a craving for ICE...she was 57 when this started and is 62 now
