For anyone who goes to the Doctor and does what they are told and gets the blood tests done which are requested by the said Doctor I say DON'T...at this point I will admit that at first the tests were a request to me and because they were fasting I kept putting it off...the second was a demand so off I went...well all in all I'm quite healthy except that she said that she has never seen Iron levels and stores so low...NO it's not iron tablets it's the dreaded tests you know the one into the stomach and the other!!!! well you know or some of you will...now the one for the stomach isn't a problem but has anyone ever had those awful prep packs UUUGGG...all to make sure I'm not bleeding inside which considering I have Gastric Ulcers thanks to Anti-Inflammatories which have in the past seeped is a possibility...I do have a tendency to bleed quite heavily from even a small cut...where has it all gone...so after the tests and hopefully they all go alright I'm going to have choices Iron injections or Iron injections...I know these hurt because I've given them...could be Karma...I knew I wasn't lazy just tired...now I'm glad I now know the reason why it takes me all day to do something that used to take a couple of hours the consequence is by the time I've finished I havn't the mental energy to get the paints out and I'm too tired and frustrated with the long day...the positive is I kick back and talk to all of you...so any of you out there who has Any Old Iron to spare it will be gratefully received postage paid...I'm keeping my Mother's Day card because it's not until Sunday and I love it
