UH OH, iron's low

[Guest guest]

Hey Peeps,

I just got my blood results and I am NOT a happy camper. A year ago my

levels were at 3.5 without taking any iron, so doc said to take 2 of whatever

strength I'm taking now (the URL Polysacharide iron or something like that).

I've been doing that rather religiously excepting for a few weeks before my

blood work when I just kinda got lazy. I tried other iron but it gave me

black sticky tar-y iron poops. Anyhow, now my labs showed that I'm down to

3.0 and doc says to take 1 additional pill per day. Well, that makes no

sense to me. If I was taking nothing and was at 3.5 and am now taking 2 and

went down to 3.0, then what the heck good is it going to do me to take just 1

more? And if I have to take more then that, where the heck am I gonna have

time to get in my calcium? This doesn't make sense to me.

Can you answer me directly to my e-mail (and post if you like), but this is

really important to me, and lately there is SOOO much mail that comes thru

the digest that I simply can't read it all. You know.... boyfriend and all

:-)

Oh, by the way, I don't know if it will help my iron or not --- you know it

IS vegetables, but my latkes tonight were AWESOME. I now need to go wash the

grease off my face. BYE!

Perhaps cooking your latkes in Bubbe's old cast iron skillet would have

helped.
