Update on iron transfusions

Jan 04, 2010

Well, went to the appointment on 12/29-which is my 6 month anniversary!!1

The quick of it all, I did not get the transfusions.  The doctor wanted me to continue with the 60 mg of iron and get retested at the end of the month to look at my Ferritin (sp?) levels.  After that I will probably get the transfusions.  He explained that is what they are really looking at as an indicator.  He did say that yes I am anemic, but it's the Ferritin levels that are more of an indicator.   So I remain sluggish, but I am determined to get out there and workout.

So for a $60 specialist co-pay- I asked that doctor all kinds of questions!  LOL  Once I get the transfusions, maybe I'll run a 5 k!!!! 

Happy New Year everyone!
