    Di 2012 I lurk here sometimes, and just noticed your post about anemia and iron. Several members of my family have some rather rare blood condition call hemochromotosis (some such spelling) which presents odd readings with iron, ferratin and something else (chemo brain). You might want to look that up before you see your MO tomorrow. Good luck

    Thank you Jan....I will look that up.


    I do take an RX for iron 2 times a day, eat fresh spinach in soups and salad all the time, even eat chicken livers, to help with iron,as I mal-absorb due to gastric bypass 12+ years ago, but my anemia is not due to lack of iron right now. But it is unknown at this point WHY?....I will ask my MO what he thinks, he will probably do further studies.....I haven't had anyone in my family have the problem you mentioned.

    4sewwhat, I have a few fave emoticons on my desktop so when I want one I can just copy/paste it into a post. And we're really, really hoping to have smileys back for everyone this week! 😎

    Di, If I remember correctly, hemocromotosis lab results show low iron when it isn't, just bound to some other component in blood. Crazy. Both parents of patient have to be carriers, as is my sister and her husband. I remember it took a very long time to diagnose my sister's first child. I should refresh my memory before I talk about it. Jan

    Just when you thought Taco's couldn't get any better!

    I made a BLT pizza the other night! I think a BLT Taco looks even better!


    GG.... You talked about helping DH lift something heavy! Yes, I KNOW! We thought we had to wait for a neighbor to come over, to help us lift the wooden box swamp-cooler cover back on top of the cooler, for the winter. But we managed to scoot it out, block up one end on bricks, then tip it back to block up other end, so we could get out hands under it, and we DID it! Two old folks out there acting like goofy 20 year old kids! But we did it.... and didn't even hurt anything... THAT was the best part...:)


    Chickers! You sound so much better! That makes us all happy!


    So Good Morning to you all! DD will bring her "new" used car over for us to see today! Remember she got that old clunker ran into? Well her big Sister is helping her get a much better one....! I mean one with defrosters, a heater and air conditioning... and one with no leaks! So I helped her even MORE! It makes us feel so good! She is getting a 2006 Toyota Corolla, AUTOMATIC!!! DANG! She and I both drive sticks, so she is pretty excited.


    Yes Shells.... thinking of Blondie!

    I'm bbbaaaacccckkkkkk. I'll keep turning up just like a bad penny.  ;)

    Shells, I don't know if I told you, but we're not going to Oahu this trip. We are going straight to Maui.   I thimk your idea for a get together in Hawaii would be great though. Like you said if it's planned far enough ahead....

    To whomever said they need to get a colonoscopy... so do I.  II've been putting it off. My grandpa died of colon cancer, dad of prostrate cancer and grandma and aunt of breast cancer. My mom had it too, but she died of anaphylactic shock.

    Okay, Sass! I was just going to post about your hands! I meant to ask, is the problem with your hands both top and bottom? Mine was just the tops of my fingers...And mine ARE much better. Did they diagnose it as Eczema? Or just the general stuff, meaning they don't have a clue?
