You are rockin'!!

Saw my PCP today about getting iron infusions as my consultant had a written the surgery a letter saying I should get them and I was following up.  Her first comment was 'but you're not out of range' I explained that my ferritin had dropped 20 points despite doubling my supplementation!! :-S  I go back in a couple of weeks to see if they've approved the referral.

Good luck with the referral! I hope you get the infusions you need. I just sent a list of labs for my PCP to order... I'm worried that I may be taking too much of some things and not enough of others. What a delicate dance this is!

Delicate indeed - I'm just glad that I listen to the vets here rather than the docs who says there's no need to do anything until you're out of range (they seem incapable of viewing trends between sets of labs).

Wishing you good luck with your infusions. It makes so much sense, why don't they get it?

It's the NHS - they don't have the funding.  They're good in an emergency, but they'd rather wait until it does become an emergency - they're all about cure not prevention.  I have to go back to see my doc in 2 weeks as she has a Practice meeting and will raise the question of referring me then.

Same as it ever was...

Bites:
B - coffee; Fage with blackberries and slivered almonds
S - almonds and turkey jerky
L - puffed tofu stuffed with crab salad and side salad with mixed veggies and 1000 island dressing
