Iron is better now than ever even starting to feel not as tired as before haven’t been to the gym in a few days because my Birthday for one was the 28th of August and I didn’t want to go to the gym on my birthday I guess I could have though. And the other days I had doctor’s appointments but will go back starting first thing Tomorrow Afternoon. It will be like starting over but sometimes it can’t be helped to miss but I do feel guilty when I do miss the gym, but I do go more often than I don’t go. Also, I have to give blood once again for my Mental Health Nurse Practitioner for some reason she never receives my lab results so hopefully this time she will receive them I will mention it to the person that draws my blood.

I’m glad your iron wasn’t so bad. I had very low potassium once and the doc was like if you hadn’t come by you would have had a heart attack. Hugs

I am still tired but not as much as I was still able to go to the gym now wasn’t able to before or barely able to since I was so tired because of my Iron being low its back up for now and hopefully for a long time it will stay in the normal range after I had my Iron Infusion shouldn’t need another infusion for awhile.

They struggled to get blood, got 2 vials but i got a bit weird and had to loie down with a drink of water, it was something called the Vago Vagal response, its meant to be normal, anyway i need to get my bloods done again for Intrinsic factor test idk whstcthst means.
Me too I get weird and sick when they draw blood from me used to have to lie down in one of their recliners as they drew blood from me and take a washcloth to wipe my face cold of course and still I get sick but not as bad I have come so close to passing out many times I threw up once though before they even stuck me so I get it how it is when you give blood that you have to lie down. One time they laid me on an X-ray table to have my blood drawn. lol. I have been this way since a kid and still haven’t grown out of this fear and getting anxious and Sick giving blood. I hate it but it is what it is. I have to go sometimes every six months for my family Doctor and every three for my Hematologist and once a year for my Psych Nurse usually unless she hasn’t received my Labs for some reason like this last time my Psych Nurse didn’t receive my Lab Results hoping this time, she receives them so she can go over it with me.

its might have been vaso vagal, she said that my arteries had opened up bt my body thinks its losing blood (it was) i think in hindsight i should have drank plenty of water before i went.
I did have a laugh with her despite this talking about vampire larp and ■■■■
