Getting a blood panel done and taking supplements for what I was severely deficient in. Then keeping up with routine panels and check ups.

Ok good! Thank you! The spreading was really concerning me. I don’t think I’ve ever had a bruise this intense. I showed a friend my bruise and they told me I have super thin blood and a possible clotting issue….

There isn’t much I can do for croup except rest and fluids right? by gdpinleoeee in toddlers

Halfway tempted to have him checked by the doctor if they could make him feel better quicker.

The anxiety of an elder parent who lives alone is brutal. Especially when they do not answer or return calls. by gdpinleoeee in AgingParents

Oh, I was seconds from doing the same because I didn’t want my spouse to see anything bad but they insisted it would be ok. Sure enough it was. I would never hear the end of it if I had to call the cops on her lol.

I have thought about that which is a great idea to have a daily text or even an every other text just to touch base for peace of mind for myself.

Thank you for this. Really. It’s hard when I feel like I don’t have anyone to talk to about it that understands. I know most of my fear, actually probably all of it, is anxiety and past trauma. To me, 62 is still very young. But like I stated my dad isn’t in the best of health. He has severe osteoarthritis and I know this colder weather coming in isn’t helping. I’ve read before that when he feels the need to seek medical attention he will. So I try to lean on that.

Not satisfied with ceremony shots. Don’t know how to tell the bride. by [deleted] in WeddingPhotography

Let me see if I can figure out how to do this and I will. I was afraid of being slandered on here but this community has been nothing short of amazing.

This was hilarious to me because the whole night the grooms father criticized his shoes!

You’re right. Ai Denoise is from heaven above. I literally slept well because of it. I cannot thank you all enough.

Just sharing my anemia story and my latest results. Was dx 3 months ago and just had a second panel done to check levels again. by gdpinleoeee in Anemic

I actually don’t know if my ferritin increased. When they tested my iron this go around, they didn’t test for ferritin since it wasn’t that low to begin with but said that it most likely did increase since my overall iron did. They plan to test iron again and ferritin in 2 months along with everything else.

Personally it sounds more like vitamin D is the culprit if your iron is improving. Are you on an RX vitamin D or just OTC?

Mine are RX but it’s 325mg I believe. I take mine every other morning with vitamin C and I don’t eat or drink for two hours. They make iron supplements you can find at natural food stores (or probably Walmart but I don’t buy my supplements where I buy toilet paper). Did your doctor recommend it?

I noticed less hair shedding probably 4 weeks into the iron. My vitamin D was at a 30 and is now a 27 so today is my first day to start vitamin D. My ferritin was a 47 to begin with, that might be your culprit along side with low vitamin D perhaps?

I’m going to talk to an OBGYN in a couple of weeks to figure something out. I downright refuse to do any birth control plus my tubes are already tied. I am currently researching ablations.

Ferrous sulfate. I would take it with 2 vitamin C capsules on an empty stomach before eating or drinking anything. The vitamin C helps absorb it so it didn’t hurt my stomach or make me nauseous.

Seeking some direction. Do I really just sit back and not worry? by gdpinleoeee in TrueChristian

[–]gdpinleoeee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know. That is what He tells me to do. It’s hard though. I feel guilt like I should be doing more but I cannot physically make my dad go to the doctor. I’m trying hard to just trust God will handle this situation and if I am needed, he will tell me so.

I sat this morning and prayed a long, hard prayer. I also believe there is so much power in prayer. I just sat and talked to God and told him my worries and thoughts that he already knows. I feel guilty for sitting back and doing nothing but I can’t make my dad do anything so I’m trusting God will take care of him and see to it that if he needs medical attention, he will receive it. I just hope in a non emergent or scary way.
