medical update Jan 2009

Jan 28, 2009

I took medical leave from school for January.  I got a botox chemical sphincterotomy which has helped my anal fissure pain about 40%.  I have an awesome colo-rectal surgeon who is committed to helping me feel better.
I felt better after my blood transfusion but my hemoglobin went down to an 8 again (still way better than a 6) so I have been getting weekly iron infusions and twice daily oral iron prescriptions.

I consulted with Dr. Davis' group Valley Obesity Surgery in NJ about a DS revision.  He has a great nurse practitioner who put me back on flagyl and ran a full blood workup and a workup for the return of my PCOS hormone imbalance.  I already feel better on this med again.
