blood test

[Guest guest]

Hi a, , Everyone.

Well my blood test are back and it's not too bad. Good news I am

absorbing vitamin B-12. I am not absorbing iron or vitamin K, but that

is old news for me. They feel the large red blood cells are coming from

diet or therefore the lack of. They want me to see a nutritionist but

my insurance won't pay for it, so that is out of the questions.

The problems that I am having are coming from the surgeries, namely the

whipple. He wants me to try and eat salmon and tuna which really isn't

a problem as I love fish. The problem is meat which I don't like and

dairy which I can't eat. I explained to the doctor that there is no

enjoyment in eating for me. He understood what I was talking about. So

it is something I will have to work on. He would also like me to eat

cream soups but that is the whole dairy thing again.

The terrible pains in my legs and fatigue is the RA. I am trying to cut

back on predisone with my Rheumy's help. I am taking tylenol for this

pain. I didn't expect it to be so bad. So I will have to see how the

predisone thing goes. I know I could up it but I am trying not too.

But when it was a little higher I felt so good. Maybe I should call the

Rheumy and see what he says?

Hope everyone is having good days. It is very hot and humid here in

Pa.. Thank goodness for the storms at night to cool it off.
