Thursday, June 07, 2007 AD And the Winner Is... ...anemia! Turns out I actually did have blood drawn last fall, and that the doctor's office had just never bothered to call me about it. Turns out my ferrosomethin'rother level is 27, whereas 50 is considered minimum. The hematocrit levels aren't affected yet because the anemia evidently isn't very far progressed, but she says treating this should make a visible difference. So...my first dose of ferrous gluconate went down the hatch during the writing of this very post, and I just need to be a good girl and remember to take it every day. (I'm notoriously not a good girl about such things, so we'll see how that goes.) And then I'll have blood drawn again in four weeks or so and see what's happened to the numbers. Lord willing, they will have risen...along with my energy level! Posted by Valerie (Kyriosity) at 6/07/2007 05:55:00 PM
