Happy days.

long weekend...??/ good for you Paul...
no Atkins bars? eh?

I went to hematologist today and he ordered iron infusions. Daily for 4 days. 
I did like the guy.   He assured me that following my history - I am just not absorbing the iron and or - have a small leak somewhere there... we will know once i get the infusion and then we can monitor the blood after that. If the numbers start dropping rapidly - it would mean that I have a small leak somewhere, if not - then most likely - it is just absorption issue. 
For the time when they would monitor me - I am told not to take any iron by mouth (unless it is food). So I would not have to eat liver every day... lol...
Next week I will start that.  Apparently they will give me that over 3-4 hrs IV form.
I am really tired today.  I did not have my B12 shot this week... (weekly) - was not really sure if they would take more blood and did not wanted the B12 to  be too high right after injection.

But the doc decided that he has enough data and does not  believe he needs to drain the person any more than they have to.  

eats today will be easy...
coffee + Al milk
raw milk homemade yogurt, cheese
more coffee with chemicals (in doc office)
yogurt with proteins + flax meal + blueberries
bigos (polish dish =sauerkraut + meat)
protein shake
some food - meat + veggies.
fruits... + whip cream...
 

Hope the infusions do the business!  I have a few Atkins bars left for emergencies and to stick in my pocket just in case I start having blood sugar problems during exercise, otherwise I want to do without them if possible...

Hope this works for you. My iron stays on the low side, but my labs in May had my iron at 12. That is low, but high for me. I have been taking iron pills every night. I am trying to avoid the infusion. The last time they said they would not give me shots again, but I would have to get the infusion.

Get some rest and take care.

why do you try to avoid infusions? any reason? bad experiance? Just wonder.

I have never had an infusion, but it just scared me. It is not rational, especially since I have had several surgeries. Of course, now I wish I would have done it. I don't have much energy, and I bet that the infusion would have helped.

Glad your infusion went well.

Bovril is a beef concentrate.  Looks like Marmite or Vegemite, black and tasty.   Spread it on toast or bread, use it in gravies or make it into a beefy drink.  Sought after by expats the world over!
