What GBS didn't fix...

Feb 15, 2011

Well it took care of my fat a**, my acid reflux, my high blood pressure, liver functions etc... but the rediculously heavy cycles have actually gotten worse and unfortunately that means the anemia is worse.  I went in last week for my hysterectomy preop only to discover that my blood count is too low to even proceed any further until my blood count is increased soooo...
I will start iron transfussions weekly for a month and am on hormones to stop my cycle until we can get the blood count up high enough for the doc and anethesiologist to feel it's safe to do surgery without requiring a blood transfussion.  FUN!

I start the iron transfussions Friday.  Hoping my count rises enough to keep my St Patty's day surgery date.  :-)
