Guest guest Posted May 15, 2002 Report Share Posted May 15, 2002 Hi Everyone...are we all doing good today? My GP called me herself....my anemia is getting worse. She's got the pharmacist looking at all my meds and running a check to see if something is interferring with iron absorption. She also wondered if the gastric bypass was part of the reason. I always thought it took the body months to build back up (after those 2 horrid periods), but she said no, some improvement with all the vitamins I'm taking should be seen. I wonder where all that iron is going to??? Then another shocker...in one month my CPK went from low 50s to 1922. So, maybe when I feel like I must weigh 500 lbs. everytime I walk upstairs, it's not cause I'm that fat!!! But my darned muscles.... The Welchol is working well for my cholesterol...while the LDL is still high, it's down some...and the overall number fell to 214 from the high 250s. Dr. , my rheumy, will have a field day with me now...oh please, God, just don't let her up the Prednisone!!! The GP is going to talk to her, and if the anemia doesn't stop, I'm off to a hemoglobist or whatever they call them. Oh, nuts, GP realized I never had the colonoscopy done...so guess what I have to have next?? LOL!!!! Hey, I ought to loose a coupla pounds, right....but what a way to do it!! How's everyone doing today?? Is Yahoo slow or is it just me? Lynn ===== " One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries. " --- A. A.
