Aww...that's great!  Happy for you and your puppy.  : )

I am finding the increased activity level and stress of moving makes me tired. I end up sleeping alot and not up for 12 hours some days. I need to get this under control. Thanks for support :)

You're always welcome. I hope this helps. Could it be time for an iron infusion or something?

I had my iron checked and oddly enough it has gone up since surgery. I may have it checked again at my 9 month visit, as the surgeon's office doesn't want to check it until my one year, in December. I am not on anything for iron yet. I attribute this to eating lots of red meat. It was the only thing I could tolerate for awhile there. But I worry if it is low. It seems any cardio type exercise drains me to the point of needing a nap. Even walking. I feel like I just came out of surgery again lol. I am 6 months, 3 weeks today

Maybe I just need some caffeine :) Haven't had any since I went off soda last Thanksgiving. I'd love to try some protein coffee but heavy cream does me in :( Maybe one day :)

Maybe your primary would run your labs just for iron markers?

 

I will ask him. I see him on the 25th. He ordered protein and D labs for me as the lab never did them.
