When you said you were losing some hair did he happen to double check your iron serum, hematocrit, hemoglobin and ferritin? Sometimes low iron markers = hair loss. Glad you got things done though.

no - he didn't check those because of the hair loss. He just went down the line.. he didn't check one indicator against the other. That's what we've got to do!

My iron has been notoriously low from day 1. He said it was good.. I wasn't anemic. I'll try and get my labs posted in my spreadsheet tomorrow and share them with you.

Thanks Liz. When he came into the room he said "what can I do for you?" I said "make my malabsorption happen again" he laughed...
