[Nfbwv-talk] FW: July Update - DST and IT Professional Deadlineis Right Around the Corner!

Mon Jul 16 18:00:42 UTC 2012

Joyce, is your iron/hemoglobin levels still low?  If they are, I don't
know how you are functioning.  When mine were down around 6, I slept
almost all of the time and I was very cold.  Also, my entire body hurt,
even my fingers and toes.  I honestly thought I was going to have to
quit working.  It took them a long time to find out what was wrong with
me and they sent me to all kinds of doctors.  I wasn't getting any
better until I looked up low iron on the internet and learned that
Vitamin C helps with the absorption of iron.  I started taking one
Vitamin C every morning and every evening when I took my iron with
breakfast and dinner and I got better.  Let me know if you are having
similar symptoms.

Charlene

I'm starting treatments for platelets on Wednesday.  I feel pretty good
although my sister says I look very pale.  I feel pretty good but wish I
could get out.  Since my white cells are low I have to stay away from
large
crowds.  I hope these treatments will raise my platelets.  Thanks for
asking.
