Some test results back...dizzy/passing out

Some of the blood work has come back.  I'm anemic again, and they said my vitamin B12 level is way too high.  So, I'm going to start on iron again and cut back on the B12.  I have more tests on Friday, but for those I have to be completely off ALL vitamins for 1 week.  I'll see my pcp on Friday also.

For now they are thinking it's my blood pressure-it's always been low, but even more so lately.  When I went in for the last doc visit it was only 90/60.  When I get up, walk, or bend over too quickly I get dizzy, room spins, or pass out.  So for now, I've been told to move slower (LOL), get up slower, have more deliberate movements, to keep drinking the water, take the iron (after Friday's blood work) and see what the pcp says on Friday.

I hope they figure this out because it's miserable.  I keep getting it, on Saturday I went on a road trip with some friends and had it off and on all day long.  I feel just totally worn out.

So, anyway, I'll let you all know if they figure anything out by Friday.  Have a great week everyone!

I hope they figure out what is wrong. That is an awful feeling. I hope you get better real soon.

This sounds miserable.  Hope they straighten it out soon.

Debi... the feeling dizzy, and the low blood pressure is a side effect of being anemic. Once you take the iron that should clear it up.

Keep us posted on how you are doing. Sorry it happened over your weekend trip.

Connie, my dear,

I hope the iron helps.  I can't start taking it until after my blood work on Friday, and I'm looking forward to taking it.

Take care,

Debi

Debi,

How horrible for you.......I hope the iron will help......

Do you know your B-12 count> Mine was at 2,000 and my Doctor told me it should be no more than 1,200.

Hi Kelly,

I don't know the exact number, the nurse called me today and gave me the results and stuff over the phone and I'll get a printout on Friday when I go in.  I wrote down >2000 on my notes, so I think it was something over 2000, probably about the same as you.

Oh man you poor girl!  :O(   That sounds just miserable.   I am thinking and saying some prayers for you!    It will get figured out, but even for the next few days.......ugh!  I am sorry!

(I asked my mother in law for a rcipe with honey and she didn't have any! :O(  )

Lisa,

Thank you.

About the recipe, I went online and found peanut butter caramel bars.  I made them and he LOVED them, was very impressed by my baking.  He took his break with me and we were able to talk.  So sweet...but thanks for trying.  I found another one I'll make in the next week or so with the rest of the honey he gave me.

I got to talk to Deb tonight! We talked for a long time.  She's really funny and intuitive and such a nice person!  You two are so much alike!
