Guest guest Posted June 20, 2001 Report Share Posted June 20, 2001 hi all! things are looking better now. my rbc and other counts are already on their way back up! i have been taking iron and b-12 sub- linguals since last week and they are having the desired effect. i saw the hematologist monday this week and she thinks i have a b-12 deficiency. so i got a b-12 shot, and a mini-iron infusion right there in the office. i feel so much more energetic now! i can't believe how much difference the b-12 and iron make. i must have been anemic like this for about a year. my butt has been dragging about that long, it seems, and i imagine that is what caused it. when the doc gets the results of the blood draw she took, she will know if i have to get b-12 shots on a monthly basis from now on. so by friday i should hear back from her and know what i have to do to keep on top of this situation. i called diana in dr. booth's office and told her what i found out so far. she said the next surgery date i could get would be late in july. bummer. but at least i am getting it done!!! i feel bad for the ones that are fighting with insurance over this. hope they come out victorious. when i hear more from the doc and diana, i will let you all know. thanks for everyone's concern and prayers. i really appreciate all the support! it makes it a lot easier to deal with roadblocks knowing there are others out there rooting with you! hugs, mary y st.louis itchin to be switchin --- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
