Blood Test Results
Hi OFF Folks
I received my blood test results today & yup, my iron is in the toilet again. Not a surprise. Have been called anemic before & was on iron script before.. Ran out &
stopped taking the iron accept what was in my Multi-Vit. Not enough apparently.
I no better, but, could not get it refilled & had to have the new doc run the blood
work & tell me Yup, I need it. My ferritin is 9 & my sat iron is only 13. Gotta get
those numbers up. No wonder I am always tired even being unemployed for 8 months.
I go to the spine Doc tomorrow & get results from the MRI on Back. We will see what
can be done (if anything with that). The rest of my results were O,K even though I
think my B-12 coule be higher even though it is in the normal range. Some of these
Doc's think as long as it's in the low normal range that is O.K. Not according to the
way I feel when it is on the low-end. soi back on the b-12 a little heavier as well.
I haven't read all the stuff for a week so have to get busy & catch up with you all
again. Hope you have a good night!!

HI Michelle
I have b-12 that I have doubled as of today. they are 1000 mg I am now taking 4 a day. I have raised it 100 points in a month. So it was a lot lower a month ago.
The iron I am still waiting approval for thru my Insurance.
Vit C I am out of except what I am getting in my multi-vit.
Protein I only have the walmart brand whey protein right now & that is almost gone.
Having no money I have to rely on roommate to buy when he feels like supporting
something other than Budwiser. Sense he is paying the rent & utilities at this point
can't move until I get a job. Unemployed for 8 months & now will have to have this
back surgery before going back to work. So maybe that is why I am still not working.
I will get on Calcium( the right calcium) as soon as I can get it. Probably after my Mom
gets paid on the 18th. Thank God I still have her at 86 yrs old.
Sorry I got so long winded.

I don't know yet on the Iron. Prior approval was needed & that may take up to 2 wks
to hear an answer. The good iron that we need will run about 20+ dollars if they don't
cover it. I also no I have to beef up the protein before any surgery as well.
Thanks for the concern. I am hoping to get it free, cause money is a real problem
right now.
