I just wanted to add ... that many of us know Leona, in real life, as well.

She works out of Humber and is one of the ONTrcC Nurses in Ont (there are only 27- got that info from literature I have).

She would never steer anyone in the wrong direction.

BELOW GOAL Happily maintaining 4.5 years out!! Life is GREAT!!! Had my plastic surgery!

I was told to take Proferrin from the Guelph clinic, after 6 months I have to take it twice a day. Make sure you take vitamin C to absorb it better and I use Natural Calm to add the magnesium to help BMs

I did get a blood test, yes. I have a family history of anemia in a lot of the women on my mom's side, so they've been monitoring my levels pretty closely. I guess the prenatal vitamins aren't enough!
