Wednesday cafe and cardio

I had my last iron infusion yesterday.   I know I needed it but today I am itching all over and I am hot.  Ugh....Allegra and zyrtec are only helping a little.   I cut my nails super short (they were breaking anyway) so I would not do much damage when scratching. Also the IV + swelling + some more carbs yesterday and I am up 2.5 lbs.  I know it is water gain but still got annoyed. 

I can take benadryl and cortisol but the first will knock me out and there second will make me super hungry.  Yea...(not really). Also got the lovely acid overload today...need to take omeprosole.  Second day after infusion is always not very good for me.  

On a good note - I went to yoga yesterday so at least that was good.  Pushing myself a bit more every time.  Yoga is a wonderful for me - just as much or as little as I need - want.  I can feel my muscles getting stronger.  Great for core muscles. 

Today eats:

 Coffee + more coffee with Miralax

Rest is a mistery. I really need to keep it light and easy. Iron - even infusions can give me cramps and then constipation. As for as I know-  Iron that does not get absorbed in the system - gets filtered by the liver and gets dumped with bile into small intestine. That's why asnf how it can affect the gut. That plus some gets filtered by kidneys.  Rest circle in blood stream until it get filtered or absorbed and build into ferritin or RBC, hemoglobin, etc.
