2 month slater...add insurance! Mood
Saturday, June 6, 2009 | A Rambling story

Two months post transfuson and i'm totally out of gas! I'm getting the low income highmark(still expensive) nut it pays for everything, so it's pretty much OK. Blood stats are:

RBC’s 7.2

---Hemoglobin 8.1

----Hematocrit 25.7

--and ferritin 7.2

Basically out of iron, AND oxygen... hard to breathe, headachy, and SO TIRED!It really gets to me that I have to get so down before I get noticed. Now with the insu. I guess we'll stat bett on this. If I can get my gut squared away we'l be okay!

 

No i have to take thyroid meds, as it's not working well either!Man this is geti stupid! But maybe this will help the cramping and some other stuff...I guess we'll wait and see---

AGH 6/10 @ 11a for first venofer.
