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

Mon Jul 16 19:44:33 UTC 2012

Joyce, I started taking a Vitamin C with my prescription strength iron
at breakfast and at dinner.  Now that my hemoglobin is staying pretty
normal, I just take a multi vitamin with iron and an extra vitamin C
with breakfast and a vitamin C with dinner.

Yes, they are still low.  I start treatments Wednesday.  I sleep well at
night and I go to bed kind of early.  I'm determined to beat this thing.
What did yu do to correct your problem?
When I went into the hospital my hemoglobin was 6.1.  I'll find out
Wednesdy
what it is now.  I had six units of blood when I was in the hospital and
we
got itup to nine.

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.

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.
