Guest guest Posted February 9, 2000 Report Share Posted February 9, 2000 Thank you again . Keep posting. Here I am up at 3am, can't sleep. Oh well I will go back to bed here in a little bit when I get sleepy. I went to bed early and slept from 9 til 2 and then got up and drank some skim milk. My inner clock is all mixed up. My mind goes way too fast and I think that's what gets me awake in the middle of the night! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2000 Report Share Posted February 10, 2000 , thank you for coming up and visiting me. I am sorry that I was out of it lol. They have taken the IV out this morning. I am still throwing up some bile and I am having bad acid reflux. The chicken broth is wonderful. All the others liquids are not going down as well. I made it to the other side yippee. I can't believe I made it! I haven't seen Dr. R as of yet. I am sure he will be around soon though. was right when saying that it was weird about us looking a like. I have to say that I mentioned it to me hubby how much we looked alike, it was like looking in a mirror. Thank you to everyone all for all of your support.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2000 Report Share Posted February 10, 2000 , If I were you, I would consult a nutritionist about the iron issue or some one who sells Shakley, or even a health food store. Shakley has the reputation for breaking down and being " available " in the system easier than some other vitamins. We will all keep our fingers crossed that you can pump yourself up a whole lot quicker than 3 YEARS. My 2cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2000 Report Share Posted February 10, 2000 , did Dr. R. give you anyadvice as to how to get your iron level up enough? -Ginny " The creative is the place where no one else has ever been.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2000 Report Share Posted February 10, 2000 I have a question for anyone out there. I had surgery 12/20 and I can eat a whole tuna sandwich for lunch somedays. Is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2000 Report Share Posted February 10, 2000 You are right. There was a special on the NBC Today show a while back where they tested hundreds of vitamins. Shaklee came out on top, and was the most easily absorbed! In Raleigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2000 Report Share Posted February 10, 2000 Hi Tracey I feel your pain. I'm so sorry to hear about your iron deficiency. Please try and see a nutritionist and get on some good supplements if you aren't already. Shaklee is an excellent recommendation. Please let me know if you need the name of a distributor, as I have been taking them for 20 years! Please call me this weekend. (Sat or Sun, tomorrow is my son's birthday and we'll be gone) I'll be glad to talk to you anytime you need a friend! 870-6007 in Raleigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2000 Report Share Posted February 10, 2000 Hi , I had to write someone and you have been so helpful and nice. I found out yesterday that I have an Iron deficiency and Dr R of course said that I am not a good canidate for surgery at this point. I am just sitting here crying because I thought I was going to be able to do this sooner rather than later. I know this is not the end of the world, but it is a big set back and my PCP said that it can take as much as 3 years to get my Iron back up to normal. Please everyone here pray for me that my Iron level will go to normal quickly and remain that way! Sorry to bring everyone down, but I just felt a need to talk about it.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2000 Report Share Posted February 10, 2000 ... I am like everyone else... 3 years???? Anyway, I assume you are taking iron supplements etc... I am not up on alot of this stuff but why not ask if there aren't IV treatments you could take... after all, what if you need emergency surgery of some sort....

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2000 Report Share Posted February 10, 2000 Hi Deb, I kid you not he said three years. I guess that is if you are really slack. I am taking 126mg of Iron 2X a day starting yesterday and GNC women's Ultra Mega. The Dr did say something about IV, but he wants to try other things first. I just hope that in a few months it will show normal! Thanks! Re: Update on > > > ... I am like everyone else... 3 years???? Anyway, I assume you are > taking iron supplements etc...
