lessons learned

So I have never posted much about my health but I am severely anemic. I haven't even seen the low end of normal forever. I hit normal after 3or 4 units of blood or 5 or 6 iv iron treatments but that never lasts. I have a heavy duty iron pill that I am suppose to take .... but I don't. They make me sick to my stomach and they make me hungry all the time. Figure that one out. however since my last Dr visit and the news that I am dropping faster than normal I have started taking the meds as I should and doing the stupid b12 shots each week. So went in yesterday to have levels drawn and the doc is prepping me for my next round of iv therapy. He says that this time we will do iv iron and 4 units of blood. He would set me up me up with a central line so they wouldn't have to stick me all the time. blah blah blah... So I am sure that he must see something that I don't I assume he knows what's going on. I left and went to work to look into the short term disability and what not. I like to have all my ducks in a row so I know what's going on with life. Anyway I get a call this morning from the nurse ......My levels are up in low range of normal. you could have knocked me over with a feather. I am so happy! I guess the meds do work IF you take them like you should. who would have known. OK so lesson learned
