How are you doing Lady? have had your levels checked again?

Hi Smile They were checked last week. They've only gone up by 0.2 so is now 7. I have to have another blood test next week. I feel loads better though, I can't remember having this much energy for a long time.

Thank you Smile

Glad your feeling so much better, hope they get to the bottom of your anaemia

I'm sure it's the fibroids. The GP said one is 10cm, one is 9. That's quite large. I have to have another scan before I see the gynae.

Thank you for helping, I really appreciate it. Smile

Just read the 4 hours per unit and unless they've slowed it down a lot I don't think that's right. I had 4 units and it took maybe a couple to 3 hours in all. Definitely not 12 hours!! which is what 4 hours per unit would've taken.

I have pills. There's hundreds of them. Sad They are giving me a bit of a dodgy belly, I don't really want to go back to the GP though as it's not too bad.
