Have you been able to increase your iron level?


Our weather on Thursday and Friday was hot (mid 80s F) and humid (~90% RH). But then on Friday night, temperatures dropped into the 50s, and Saturday was refreshingly cool, crisp and dry.

My wife's misery went away so suddenly on Saturday morning. It's been so long since I've heard her say that she felt good, but she did so yesterday.

And we give our dog his pain med on rainy days.

It makes me think that she should have a pressurized suit that would simulate the high barometric pressure of a nice day.

Greetings, Thank you for checking-in on me. In June 2024, I signed up for Ticket-to-Work through SSA, and started working part-time.

In Aug 2024, I started working full-time with the goal of gaining access to private health insurance. I signed up for private health insurance this month, and my plan is much better than Medicare. My specialist copays cost half the price!!!!

I never thought that having a rare illness, Hereditary Angioedema, would help me land a job. It turns out giving myself IV infusions came in handy. I work in blood collections.

Lupus SLE: I received a second opinion on Aug 16th, 2024, which confirmed a second time that I have Lupus SLE.

Food and Wellness: My rheumatologist also recommended I adhere to an anti-inflammatory food lifestyle. I walk a lot for mental well-being.

Iron: My primary provider sent me for labs and based on the results I am taking 325mg of iron daily.

I’m glad the change to cooler weather helped your wife. Hot and humid weather is definitely a struggle for me.
