    A little worried

    Hi, guys, I just wanted to ask for your prayers tonight. I had a dr appointment last week and my iron level is kinda low. The dr called and left a message for me to call for my lab results tomorrow. I've never had good news when I was told to call them back, so I am a little worried.

    Please pray that it's something simple, easily taken care of and CHEAP. I have no insurance.

    God is good and has always led me where I need to go. I trust Him and I'm trying not to stress, but I'm still human and my brain works harder than my faith sometimes.

    Thanks for all the support so many of you give me!

    Re: A little worried

    hi caryl...remember, "be anxious for nothing." i too worry a lot when that doc's office makes that call but i learned that often times, they are calling to simply report, not necessarily tell you something is wrong. i will hold good thoughts for you. you are so healthy girl. look at all the positive changes you have made.....

    wouldn't it be something if the doc was calling to say "hey girl, your numbers look so darn good, tell me what you are doing?" well, we can surely hope. sleep well tonight free of worry....worry never solved a thing. you will know tomorrow for sure. please let us know what you find out. sweet dreams!

      Oh hey Caryl, you got it dear! My gosh, try not to worry. I know it's easier said than done. I'm sending a prayer up to god that he will surround you now with angels to carry you through till tomorrow and beyond.

        Re: A little worried

        Thanks, guys. Part of it's just some more of that single parent panic, if something happens to me--what happens to my kids. You're right, it's probably nothing and there's nothing I can do about it until tomorrow. I feel too good for it to be anything too bad--well, taking the iron makes me feel worse, but otherwise I feel fine.

          Re: A little worried

          Wanna hear something spooky? MY doctor called me today with MY blood test results. Left a message for me to call back, and I caught her nurse just before the office closed.

          I am low in iron (so I'm supposed to take a multivitamin with iron) and also have elevated blood sugar, which means I'm pre-diabetic.

          I think it means I'm FAT and I need to lose weight and eat better.....

          I hope the same results are true for you, as opposed to something scarier. I will say this: If it's a bad thing, doctors tend to give you a number to call after hours, rather than say "call tomorrow".

                            Thanks, everybody! I called and left 2 messages, one at 9 and one at 10--they never called me back. I finally reached a live person and got thru to the nurse around noon. It's pretty good news in all, thanks for all the prayers!

                            I had a hemocult test, and it was negative--good news--I stressed a little because my grandmother died from colon cancer.

                            They said my B-12 and folate levels were OK. Some blood level was supposed to be 34 and mine is 20, the other level was supposed to be 27 and mine is 13. I'm not exactly sure what she was talking about--seems like nobody speaks English as their first language, and when you throw medical terms on top, I get lost quickly. My iron level was 10.4 supposed to be at least 12. Anyway, they said to take 2 iron tablets a day with vitamin c and to eat iron rich foods. I took that as a doctor prescribed reason to go eat a good steak for lunch--with a really nice salad.

                            None of it makes sense to me, still. I DO eat a lot of red meat, green leafy vegetables and eggs. All have iron. I have been taking a multivitamin with iron every day. I should have plenty in my system. I can't believe TOM can cause this degree of anemia, and the only other blood loss I have suffered are these darn blood-sucking mosquitos.

                            Also, whenever I start taking the extra iron I start feeling weak and dizzy--and the doctors say that makes absolutely no sense at all.

                            My dad would have said to start eating blackstrap molasses, but I'm pretty sure that's not on OWL rung 1.

                            I appreciate all the support from you guys, you are awesome! Continued prayers for increased iron in my blood are requested. Thanks so much!

                              Hi lose shoes. That's fantastic news on the negative results. Maybe you just need a little iron supplement. It don't think it'll hurt.

                              What a relief right!
