IMPORTANT IRON REMINDER

Hey all... I just want to remind you all to make sure that you are getting your blood checked on a regular basis and be on your doctor for things to correct abnormalities in your blood... I don't want you to end up like me last week!!! Tuesday night I began having chest pains... and I of course blew them off because I knew it was due to my severe anemia... well they continued and according to others I looked real bad when I showed up for work... (they sent me home)... I eventually called my doctor when the pain didn't stop and was rushed to the emergency room... and ended up staying in the hospital till late Friday night... I needed a blood transfusion (4 units) and ended up having a surgical procedure to correct my menstral cycles. It was bad guys and I want to prevent anyone else from having to go through it. Take your iron, (now I did but had other problems that exasperated it) get your blood checked, and dont blow off any kind of pain. I am on my way to recovery hoping that the surgical procedure worked so I don't have to have a more evasive surgery in the next couple of months. But please please please make sure you are taking all your supplements!!!!

Goodness girl - I'm so sorry!! I'll be praying this one surgery did the trick for you. YES, please take your vitamins. I was getting ready to post my own momma type reminder on supplements based on my own situation.

Yikes, Loni, that's scary! About a year ago I was having heart palpitations every time I walked or did the least strenuous thing. I had my blood work done and my iron was VERY low. I've been taking supplements ever since and I feel so much better. Hope things improve really quickly for you and thanks for the reminder!!! Let us know how you're doing.... Hugs, Nancy
