BUMP Re: Val: newest potassium & sodium labs

[Guest guest]

Thnx Val. I will stick w the 1 1/4 tabs of Florinef for now. Took BP 2 x today &

both time it was avg of 110/62!

My last potassium lab done a wk ago was 4.1 down from 4.4. I am gonna increase

to 120 meq Klor-Con & retest w/.in next 1-2 wks.

As far as Cytomel goes, I will go bk up to 70 mcg few days after next IV of Iron

& then try to increase as best as I can. I am hoping either my hematologist or

PCP will authorize monthly IV iron until I can get it all worked out. I feel

much more calm today taking the Cytomel. Have taken 2 15 mcg doses so far.

Hopefully pulse will not shoot up again. It has been in the low 60's to to high

70's today.

Thnx again for your time Val. I greatly appreciate it.
