The results of Friday's lab test showed I have too much iron in my blood which accounts for the excruciating headache, breathlessness and overall fatigue.
I thought I was a goner yesterday from the pain.
Today, I went in and had blood drawn--like an old-fashioned
blood-letting; it will bring the iron down and it started to relieve the pressure in my head even before we were finished!
I will be repeating this for a few weeks to see how I respond to it. I am also admonished to drink a LOT more water
because my blood was too thick.
Bill treated me to a lunch out after the blood draw;
it sure was a good way to end the adventure.
Good bye blood!
