energy level iron!!!

Ok you've probably heard this all before but I am hear to tell you GET YOUR IRON TESTED!!!  I have been weak, dizzy , tired worn out for mo's! finally got in and had all my blood work done, (Margie sent me a 1 yr. letter) Boy was I surprised at the amt.of blood needed, anyhow.....Got a call from Margie, my Iron level was 4.2 (not sure what it's supposed to be) she told me anything less than 5.0 your supposed to see an immunologist, she sent me a prescription for repliva, but they didn't have  it so I got pruvate 21 /7   , in just 6 day's time I am already feeling better , more energy, and not as dizzy!! Moral of the story GET CHECKED!!! even if you are taking your multi with iron, I am very good about taking mine 2x a day and still was that low!!

yes Susy it is very important to get lab work done and on time....we are special hybrids now and we need to keep track of our labs ourself too. i get copies of all of mine when i have them run and if i see something that is starting down i take care of it myself ...all very important.

I'm a special case I have my labs done every 6 mo's or more if needed.  Doing it yearly isn't enough I don't think, too much can go wrong too fast then your in crisis believe me I know all too well about that.  When in doubt have someone order labs for you not just your surgeon.
