I have been feeling like this for months now. after a self blood sugar test I thought I had finally found the problem a reading of 10.2 indicated I was diabetic like my grandparents (both sets) parents, aunts and uncles. I was sent for a fasting blood test and I also asked for my Iron tested just in case.
after being told the doctor needed to see me I resigned my self to having diabetes but I was surprised to see I didn't actually have diabetes but my iron was on the floor.
this wasn't what I was expecting but really happy to know I am not diabetic.
my doctor was lovely as always he gave me three options one to go on medication (I had been taking iron meds with out success so this was a no) the second was to have a course of injections spread over a few months and third was to have an blood/Iron transfusion which scared the crap out of me :0( so I went with the second one.
unfortunately the chemist have to send off for them so whilst I feel weak as a kitten and so ill I want to be in bed all the time. I am considering ringing the doctor back and asking for the third option but the injections have already been ordered so I don't want to piss them off.
I have just spoke to the chemist and they said it is up to 5 days so it could be next wednesday.
so after losing a full day in bed yesterday hubby made me liver and onions to help me get a bit of Iron in me. today I feel a little better than yesterday but still weak,.
