Shirley and Galahad--thanks for info

Last year----GP. (knowing my issues) gave me 1 free IRON pill(looked like a horse dose) to try----and within a hour I was *running rapids* and when I called him---he knew what it was all about--
So--that pill was *X'd* out--
Then I went to drugstore and bought the Time Released Iron supplements----discussing with my pharmacist of course-----
This time released Iron Supp. worked on my inners in about 4 hours--same running rapids!!!! I cannot take anything orally

Had to see GP again---and being all this ingested stuff is not for me--he then said hematologist--+ intravenous!!!!
Then he suggested trying a Vitamin Tablet with Iron---I did and had the same effect---of course it could have been something OTHER in the pill but ????
Galahad---thats the Vit. U got----

My numbers are 5-6 or 5.6--cant figure his scrawl---I'm assuming that my GP. might be going Intravenously due to the fact that any Little Pill might cause me to lose NORMAN????


Shirley----naturally we will figure this out and I will let U know--thanks for added info about ya mom--

Galahad---and thank U for your input also----
I appreciate all the opinions --

PS. was just thinking--if this be strictly some sorta total IRON---then would that mean I would need blood work up--more often---in order to keep check of all other organs???
Sorry---but when I think of something,after the fact, I have to ask---

Barbara,
I'm suprised you can get out of bed in the morning with readings like that. No wonder he wants intravenous!!!

I think you'd better just bite the bullet and do what he says.

Also, I imagine that played a large part in how much you "didn't enjoy" Az. this year. I don't think you would have enjoyed being anywhere.

Hi Barbara,

Your doctor may want you to get a blood test more often, to see if you're making any progress with the treatment. I agree with Shirley - it's no wonder you are always feeling so tired. I hope they can get that corrected.

Luve,
Galahad

P S I've just about used up all those vitamins. I think I've only got about 10 left.

Well then---U two----I gather thats why I always feel like a --

And Shirley U R right----I am even too tired being here @ home--- --and not enjoying myself either---

No wonder I was so wiped out when I would get home from Xercizing!!!!

And that was another thing----too tired to get up!!!! I AM~~~~
I kinda thought maybe I was working out too much,in AZ., and that caused my drooping---and sleeping sooooooo much--

Well lets hope I get some energy cus I do feel like crap~~~~~and of course this no doubt has caused me to become *more-depressed*--thinking I am just in a funk mood~~~~

Thanks again----I should hear about my thyroid work-up by Monday too-

This is a total 50,000 mile check-- hope my are still in good shape and my :boobs: are not having a problem---they just getting OLD!!! and my derma. has no need to remove anything else- --then I should get stamped APPROVED!!!! with a gold
