"Where's The Beef ", She Bellows ?
All my tests came back good, except the iron again .
I am still not raising the count fast enough .
How much beef, buffalo , spinach, raisins and supplements can one gal choke down ? :?
I have fought with anemia on and off all my reproductive years.
When I was pregnant with the twins 20 years ago, I had serious problems .
I think that 's what may have killed them ultimately.
* I lost them at 7 months along * :(
I couldn't keep my iron count high enough.
I have always been pale. I have quite a bit of Viking- Celt blood in me.
Think of zesta saltines topped with Brie , and there ya got my skin tone.
After I have been in the sunlight ...sprinkle some wheat germ on top.
Then if I am out longer than say 30 minutes...smear that zesta /brie snack with some cranberry jelly .
I need alot of rosy cheek powder to look alive , that's a fact.
The best make-up I have found for my skin is Bare Escentuals brand.
This stuff rocks. My skin laps it up , and I feel like a glowing princess.
Make believe was never so shimmery.
Gotta go for now, grazing time beckons...

My hemoglobin was less than 8 forever... I tried everything. He wanted to do a hysterectomy... (sp?) Then I read an article about caffeine and iron... the iron wouldn't be absorbed...I didn't have any caffeine for two hours before or after my iron tablets (I was taking 2 prescriptions a day) and my hemoglobin shot up to 14! My doctors NEVER said a thing. I guess it was easier to do a hysterectomy! anyway... for what it is worth.

Thanks for the tip, Lori ,I'll keep that in mind !
I am on 2 capsules of iron protein succinylate that I take in the late afternoon , made by Life Extension for the past month and a half as opposed to the more regularily prescribed ferrous gluconate .
