Re: Re: Hemochromatosis maybe

So very, very true..... I am learning, through bitter experience, that our bodies can tell us a whole lot more reliably when something is wrong.. we just have to relearn how to understand what they are telling us. I know that I still have something wrong within me... I just haven't been able to figure out yet quite what it is.... I have strong cravings on a couple or three specific foods... I have this irritation/infection in my legs.... their is something off... but I 'feel' pretty good. I have my aches and pains.. but I dont' have that heavy over powering depression that I had for so many years. I find myself determined to explore, to seek out what my imbalance is... I don't have any overwhelming desire to go hide like I had for years, the puzzle of it so overpowering that I'd seek escape rather than answers... so I know I'm working in the right direction... just haven't quite spotted the right answer yet....

I know that things are better, but I'm hoping you'll get that ride very soon to go get those labs drawn, Topper. You don't know anything about your ferritin, B12, folic acid, or what your actual blood levels are of the thyroid hormones. You know that you feel better compared to the way you were, but you're not sure about any of these blood values yet. The blood values for these things are a very definite thing, unlike some people's thyroid levels.

I agree with you . I very much need to find out where my body is...

I want to get this stuff with my legs 'better' if that is the word...it's not getting worse... I'm gonna say it's better...but don't have a unit of measure to say it's 'this much' better.. so it may just because I'm getting used to it.

I suspect some type of an infection, based on the heat given out in the affected areas... so that is going to throw off some of my lab values....

I do know that I'm gonna slap a certain feller absolutely silly for backing out on taking me in June... I'd done the work for him, payment was a ride to the clinic.... and he decided it was not convenient for him... He's still having trouble with my not being willing to do stuff for him anymore....

*sigh*

Will your father not take you at all? If not, why not? How long has it been since you had a blood sugar testing? I don't want to scare you (though I doubt if it will, considering what you've already been through in the past), but you need blood levels of all these things, even if you didn't get levels for the thyroid hormones. I hear the lab calling yoooouuuuuu!! Wish I had the means to get up there and I'd take you, but I'm all the way down here in Texas, so I'm afraid my little Nissan would break down between here and there. I am praying for you a sure way to go, someone that you can trust to do as they say they will.
