Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Anytime mine gets that low I get lightheaded, clammy, my ears ring, and I get sick to my stomach just before I pass out. Luckily Ray has been here most times, but my kids have sat with me on the floor several times until I could get up and make it to the chair with their help. Not fun! If lack of fluids can cause it, I am guilty. I tend to eat ice all day rather than drink and I know I need more water. I suppose I am going to have to keep a case of water next to my bed and start drinking it more. It's easier to drink it in the summer. When it is this cold water is the last thing I am interested in! I want hot chocolate, coffee, tea....... anything warm! Cindee > > In a message dated 10/28/2004 11:38:35 PM Central Standard Time, > mjs93311@y... writes: > > Well, most of us are running on empty.

Maybe an iron infusion is needed? I'm getting some labs done this week because last time I felt like this was Christmas and We all know what happened then! Low Hgb/hct can cause the same feelings. Are you taking the ferrous fumerate regularly? I think once we get really low sometimes it takes an iron infusion to get " on top " of the low iron problem.
