And apparently I've been a very bad girl..... LOL

Calcium is 8.5             preferred range is 8.6-10.2
Vit D is 25                 preferred range is 20-100
Hemoglobin is 12.6      preferred range is 11.7-15.5
Hematocrit is 38.6      preferred range is 35.0-45.0
MCV is 80                  preferred range is 80.0-100
MCH is 26.2               preferred range is 27.0-33.0
Ferritin is 10              preferred range is 10-232

So, I've got to start taking my Calcium and vit D religiously instead of hit and miss.... and she wants me to start taking 325 mg of Ferrous Sulfate twice a day..... ugh....

 Shame, Shame, shame...

Just kidding... I got griped at about not taking my calcium yesterday also.  It is hard when you are further out to remember.  I guess we all need to learn from what happened to Ramon.  A lot of us need to do a better job

But way to go posting it so that you hold yourself accountable.

My hemoglobin has yet to get over 10 in the past 3 years, despite being on 350mg of Ferrous Sulfate twice a day....My doctor would clap if I made it to 12.6 - so you are not that bad....

Karen,
im proud of you for getting your labs done AND for posting them. I had been taking my religiously and mine were still in the tank!!!!!! Im not sure how much D you were told to take but make sure its the D3 and its 50,000 daily as it takes the 3 a while to come up.  My ferritin was... 5 and i was taking mine daily.  SUCKS dont it! lol.

The Cupboard (our local healthfood store) had their brand D3 in a liquid... 1 DROP contains 2000 IU, so I'm looking at doing 2 or 3 drops a day


On a good note, my Cholestrol was in the doc's words "Great", my sugar level was 85 and my B12 was 1525.... LOL
