Dr phoned.

Normal iron level is around 12-15.

Mine is 8.

7 is the level they consider a transfusion at, so not quite there. No wonder I've been so exhausted.

She is prescribing me high strength pills, let's hope they do the job.

Justmaz, sorry about your mum.

Poor you, know how you feel, my iron level was only 3 when I went to the doctors in May dangerously low, I have been on full strength iron tablets since, I had blood tests this morning results Wednesday to see if has risen. God I hope so.....

Hope you feel better soon x

hope you dont mind me butting in but maybe worth to get you on your feet quicker considering all else you are going through, asking if they can do an iron transfusion, saves having a blood transfusion , and works really quickly usualy couple of days, I have at least 2 a year and they work really well. and I am in and out in just over an hour xxxxx

Sound a bit thick I know, but what is an iron transfusion? I presume they'd have to get me to hospital for it?

I guess I'll start with the pills and see how I go. The very kind pharmacist has offered to drop them round on his way home from work, isn't that lovely of him? I've risked ticking the exempt box despite my card not arriving yet. Form was sent a week ago, signed by Dr, and I fit the criteria so can't see an issue. They've also been telling the companies that deliver my leg bags etc I'm exempt, so if it's good enough for the nurses to do it, it's good enough for me!

Sorry kitchen not finished this week tweets.

Bubbs, hope you're having a nice time in Scarborough!

Never taken my phone abroad before, but this year I need to as need to keep in touch as got some family problems.

What do I have to switch off, so I dont get any charges when I get back.

The hotel has free wifi so I can use that, and was planning on using Whatsapp.

Any help appreciated.
