WHEW!
After my last two phlebs, I have not seemed to be able to 'catch my breath'. I just feel so winded and with each task,I MUST lay down for a bit. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and I have no choice but to work, take care of my family and my home, drive and do whatever else must be taken care of...I know in a sense all these tasks are blessings in disguise because if I lay down w/o reason to get up...will I ever get up again?
There is so much on my plate right now,again...maybe a good thing. Upon losing my mother to Myelodysplasia (orig. Essential Thrombocythemia) when the Graft Vs.Host 'turned' on her, I found out I had Hemochromatosis. My husband lost his grandmother and there were other family stresses going on all at once. So sometimes I don't know what to think about at once...And then I catch myself thinking about Mom...and how much I miss her and wish she were here with me thru all of this.
At this moment my main goal is to pinpoint my dizziness and get some energy from SOMEWHERE. With my next Dr visit next Weds I am going ask my Dr to consider letting me only do phlebs once a month or i'm afraid i'll never 'catch' my breath.
Funny thing too,and I feel like I should mention all that comes to mind just in case I might share anything with others who could help, I have been running low grade fever here and there and waking up with night sweats (yes I understand there is no such thing as diagnosing here,just wanting a comparison/opinion). My husband says I feel 'clammy'. I have had some people mention since I have 'bad veins' and everyone tends to only use my 'one good vein' that a port might be a good idea. I'm trying to think how this would work. Wonder if anyone else has had to do this?
I would be so SUPER happy if my joints started to feel better after awhile:) Dodging an arthritis diagnosis would be so awesome! It runs in the family,as well as diabetes and other auto immune diseases.
