Hi There  Went for my follow-up appt today with PCP after blood work & the good news is my iron is up from 44 to 77 & the saturation levels is up from 13 to 26. so much better with the good iron (script). My protein levels are down to 6 from 8 so back to 2 - 3 shakes a day. The bad thing was that my thyroid is basically not working at all, so have been put on thyroid pills. Still don't have anti-depressants. apparently I will have to call the Insurance company (state of AZ) & cause a scene or temper tantrum to get them.; I am ready to kill everything in sight including myself & they think it needs prior authorization. By the time I found out My doc's office was gone for the day. So guess who's calling tomorrow asap. (today actually) wrote this last night.
Still tired, but, at least I know my iron has improved. She did not test my B-12 this time. Maybe the tiredness is due to the thyroid problems. We will see if the new meds help any with that. Take Care all That's it for me. Marilyn C (bearlady)
P.S. I see my back surgeon next week to find out what's next on my back.
