Guest guest Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Hey yall. Just got back from my PCP doc, not too scary news this time. He says that my hematocrit and hemoglobin are real low again, and my iron stores are low. Which would explain the fatigue, shortness of breath, and dizziness.Since oral iron just tears my GI system up, they are considering iron shots which he says are old school, very painful, but effective. Also my blood sugar was 186, the highest it's ever been was around 125. so this could be the onset of diabetes, strong family history, plus being off and on prednisone, so they are going to watch that. Darn it, I made snickerdoodles last night too. I bet Chas takes them to praise band practice and gives them all away to the youth ministry staff, just to keep them away from Mom. ) Thank you all so much for your prayers, not having a hubby or " whatever " to lean on, this group makes things a lot less scary. Love and hugs to all, especially my buddy Ken, today. Blessings from Dallas Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
