Guest guest Posted August 4, 2001 Report Share Posted August 4, 2001 Carolyn, my gastric bypass surgeon prescribed Trinsicon for the iron deficiency and low hemoglobin. It has folic acid that absorbs in the stomach better than over the counter iron supplements. Hope this helps. My hemoglobin was recently 7.5 within several weeks it has come up to 9.2. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 Joan, Thank you for the soothing words. Yes, I don't need that kind of treatment. I too am surprised at my son. Love Carolyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 Dear Ann, Thank you. It is so hard to watch their faces when you try to tell them why you can't do something. She is 35 and very pretty and I hope she never experiences anything like this. Love Carolyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 Dera Carolyn, I thoroughly understand where you are coming from. My mother-in-law is the same way. I can be in the middle of explaining something to her about my hives, she turns away and acts like I'm not even there! She thinks it's all in my head and that i have bad nerves. I guess I bore them, so I avoid it at all costs. It's such a shame that we all have such supportive in laws! Ann > > Dear Alia, I know where you are coming from.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 Thank you for the love and prayers. Also, I know God loves me and He cares. I have put it in God's hands. She just doesn't like or love me. That is ok. My son loves her. I would never put him in a position of uneaseness. I can't seem to understand why she likes to cut me down. I have kept my mouth shut and will continue to do so. I just made the decision not to be around her because it hurts me to be disrespected. I am not trying to change her but I am trying to change myself. She knows stress will cause me to break out. So I will try to stay out of hearing reach and be with the people that do love and respect me. Joan is wonderful, just as you are. She made me feel better by her kind loving words. This group is wonderful. Love Carolyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 Joan and Carolyn, Just remember, no one can make you upset. Being upset is a choice you have to make. A lesson I learned a long time ago is to kill em' with kindness. Some where in the Bible it says to love em' and that way you heap coals of fire upon their heads for they way they act. I don't know either one of you, but know this, you are loved. Prayers and hugs go out for you and to you. Stay in control. Along with all the meds, treatments, and doctor visits, your best defence is a strong will to love, unconditionally, without exception. God Bless > > Dear Alia, I know where you are coming from.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 OK, I've read them all Carolyn..and you and I have corresponded for a few weeks now..I tried the killing with kindness...It didn't work..You could still feel the tension...My mother dealt with this problem in the reverse for years...I think the whole darn lot of you with in law problems need to give your in laws a packet of letters from other individuals on here FOR CHRISTMAS...And tell them that when they get through reading them and begin to show some compassion then they will get the real present...DO a DR PHIL on them...Bunch of crap...Just print out a bunch of all ya'lls history letters and wrap those suckers up...Hey, they'll be mad for a little while because they didn't get that real present..THEY'LL GET OVER IT...And as far as your son loving her, I am sure he does and I am sure he is embarressed by how she treats you...He knows...She needs a talking to...Now you got my southern dandruff up...But I am serious about those letters...Life is too short to be miserable..Sept 11th proved that...I am just pissed off here...Carolyn you are a good person..Maybe too good as they say...You got to stand up for yourself...Wait when your not fussing and tell her like it is in front of your son...I bet you things will be better...Oh shut up Rita...I've said enough...Boy, ya'll really know how to get me going..I just wrote Alia a long one too and don't see it posted...hope its not lost in cyber space...I love you Carolyn...We all do...Take care...
