I don't donate blood (even giving vials of blood for medical tests has caused me to faint in the past, I just don't know, the whole thought of it makes me so queasy and light-headed), and my periods are not heavy at all; I'm not a vegetarian. I'm not quite sure why I have iron issues, neither are the doctors. Again, it's idiopathic. |
I’ve never had an issue with my brand. It’s otc but it was ordered by my doc. It had vitamin c in it to be easier to absorb. When he first ordered it I took it daily then after 6 months I had too much iron. So we lowered it to once a week. Then I became anemic again and we decided on three times a week plus the over 60 vitamin for women. Hopefully this will stop the yo yo roller coaster.
I had a horrible night. I felt I hadn’t slept at all but I must have. Had a horrible headache all night. But cool dreams of attending college again. I’ll have to look it up and see if there is such a bird as a coot. That was in my dream, clear as a bell.
Got all my checks written out. They are for organizations that I support, various animal charities. I get way too many begging letters though. I must be on a list. I send them out twice a year no matter how often they send me letters. That’s the only thing I use checks for,no way am I giving them my cc number.
Got my meds all put away for a week. Only my shower left to do. Tomorrow I’m going with my daughter and granddaughter to get pedicures and eat at our favorite Greek place. A delayed birthday celebration for them.
I’m really having to push myself to get going most days. My concentration is horrible. I put some cozy’s on hold at the library. That’s more my speed nowadays. Nothing major just the summer daze.
