Ironing out some health wrinkles

This morning I will be visiting Riverside Hospital for a second attempt to get more iron into my body.

Last week I found out that my Crohns is rearing its ugly head again ... Not allowing my body to process calcium, iron and other nutrients. That helps explain shy some days I am exhausted by noon.

The iron shot lowers your blood pressure, so nurses monitor you before, during and after. Mine was too low last week to get the iron infusion ... Possible internal bleeding may account for the low blood pressure.

Without iron My energy & stamina are almost non existant.

Over the next few weeks new Meds, tests, and doctors will try and gets healthier.

Wish me luck !
