Doc apt today. She said I have an Iron deficiency. Mine was 27.3 in Sept. It should be above 30 but they want it more between 50 to 100. She said it can turn into anemia if left untreated. My thing is I am not really sure how long it has been going on. It can stem from some type of bleeding issue but I don't have nose bleeds or heavy periods. She said they will have to investigate with a colonoscopy or upper/lower GI to see if there is any internal bleeding going on which seemed a bit scary. I am not sure how you just get bleeding and not know it but who knows. I have to take ferrous sulfate (basically iron pill) 65 mg 1 pill every other day. They took labs. They are going to check again in 3 months to see if there is any difference from what it is currently. If so, good- If not, they will have to figure out if I have any bleeding somewhere that not aware of which seems odd. I did ask her about Covid shots to see if she had seen any changes in patients blood work after the shots. What was interesting is she said that she had. Not with low iron but with low platelets. She said she had seen that in particular with the ONE SHOT J&J which is the one I had received and fell over with- surprise - not. So, I do think they will be finding out more and more about what side effects can and have happened with people and the shots down the line - oh and my blood pressure was 146/88 which it is Never that high so I must have been pretty on edge lol.
Cute pic of Zorro. I' sure the iron pill will help....low iron doesn't seem that uncommon.
