back from doc, I am good, just gotta keep doing what I'm doing ๐
Great news!
Thank you. ๐
Yay! You are doing amazing! And I just back from doc too! I need iron but that is not unexpected
oldgreeg, hugs, hope it's not too debilitating
Thanks and nah its ok, just run down and fatigued. Always glad to hear the main markers (liver, kidneys, blood) are good and its just iron again. I should just supplement it all the time but I get lazy
Everyone seems to be at the doctors recently!
I get the results from my blood test tomorrow, last time it showed low iron and vit. D, and given I've not been anywhere near as good as I should have been at taking the recommended suplements I expect I will have the same result again.
my iron and vitamins are good, my kidneys and liver normal, no inflammation anywhere, no rheumatoid arthritis ( just wear and tear ), I don't need meds, blood pressure good, doc said lose 5 kg, I said, "attainable goals!" and I'll do it by dieting
Thursday I go to a special clinic for food allergy testing , with the results I can plan my everyday diet better ๐
and 2 weeks from now get the dreadful circulation in one leg looked at
I have a doc thing as well. My right ear has been blocked for a week and it's time to get it flushed
that's sounds uncomfortable , hope it's fixed soon
Some doctors won't do it unless you've softened the wax beforehand. It's worth getting the waxsol ear drops and using them a few days before your appointment. Makes it a lot easier.
Yeah I grabbed some a couple days ago but honestly it doesn't seem to have made a huge difference.
Hopefully it does when its time to get it blasted out.
another, may I suggest iron gummies , so easy
