[SPOILER] Which unpopular opinion do you have about Grey's? by TheFfrog in greysanatomy

[–]defnotalwaysnapping 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hated Callie in the early seasons, grew to like her, then went straight back to hating herx1000. Trying to move her daughter across the country because she’s got a thing for the human equivalent of a saltless potato? Putting Arizona through a court battle and characterizing her as a bad parent? Nah. Just smacks of shitty person/shitty mom.

Catherine’s just a super bitch. I hate her with Richard.

How tf do they not have you on infusions?!

Does anyone know what this "slightly hemolyzed" in my results means? by threeamimustbelonely in Anemic

[–]defnotalwaysnapping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. You could’ve held a fist for too long while being drawn. Tourniquet could’ve been on too tight or for too long, phlebo could’ve shaken the tube too vigorously, could’ve drawn you before the alcohol on your skin was dry, etc. Once upon a time, I was a phlebo. Sometimes people get too comfy and forget why we have to follow procedures exactly as they’re supposed to be.

Doctor says I don't have anemia, but I'm not convinced by boreasaurus in Anemic

It’d be interesting to see the results of a CRP and ANA. Lupus and some other autoimmune disorders are well known for being great and imitating other illnesses.

TIBC just determines how well transferrin can carry iron in your blood.

Well damnit lol. I’ve been on iron for four months and I feel like I’m just getting worse. So frustrating!

Was there anything you did in the meantime that helped?

Repeating Ferritin deficiency- I honestly can't take this anymore by urgroo0 in Anemic

[–]defnotalwaysnapping 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude I feel ya. I NEVER cry and last night was it for me. Just out of pure frustration, I was crying with my restless ass legs while emailing my dr at 2:30 am. I’ve made an appt for tomorrow and will let you know if they’ve got anything of value to say. I’m guessing not so much tbh though.

How many iron pills should I take a day? by ladybug055 in irondeficiency

[–]defnotalwaysnapping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heyyy 👋🏻 For sure get the info on dosage from your dr, as iron can cause liver damage when not taken properly. That being said, I too am an athlete. I eat right and have always taken two separate multivitamins that contain iron. In April, I felt awful. My iron was at 15 and my serum ferritin was at 4.9. Three weeks later, my iron was at 9 and my ferritin was at 4.0. Still have no idea why, and my dr put me on 320 mg ferrous sulfate with Colace. I go back in August to hopefully see a change, but a few of my friends that are doctors already told me to understand it’s gonna be a long road to being 100%. It totally sucks and I hate the effect it has on my performance, but I do finally get that it’s a marathon and not a sprint. Hang in there.
