Two months ago after my routine check with my Nephrologist, I was diagnosed with Anemia. I didn't know I was anemic! My iron level was low as well as my red blood cells. The level was too low - 3.5 instead of the normal count of 11.5; no wonder why I have been so tired, weak and literally have to drag myself everyday into taking care of my family and my responsibility at home. In addition to my sudden crazy monthly period that last for at least too weeks which is not normal; not to mention the heavy flow accompanied with big clots. My doctor said that this isn't good for my transplanted kidneys at all that is why he is thinking of blood transfusion to resolve this blood problem. I tell you I was soaking 5 to 6 pads a day! My doctor told me that is probably the caused of my anemia. So, he puts me into treatment which is iron infusion every Wednesday. I am done with 5 treatments, but unfortunately, that wasn't enough; now I need another 5 set of infusions and that is driving me nuts! So sad, because this treatment not only interferes with my daily chores, but also with my health since the treatment is not working. I still feel the same, nothing changed. My abnormal period is over but still need to see my gynecologist on Monday to see what's behind all these, hopefully to get answers with all our questions. Yesterday, I was told to go to emergency room when I start bleeding again.
This is the reason why I have been inactive with blogging lately. And I would like to apologize for not returning your visits, ec drops, comments and not doing some meme yet. Thank you all so much for thinking of me and all the visits as well; I sure appreciate them a lot! I am hoping to feel better soon so I can return all the favors and do the memes as well! Have a great day everyone and also happy Halloween in advance!

Ate Cecile, I hope that things go well with you. I really don't have any word of wisdom that can make you feel any better. You know what's going on with me as well, so I kind of understand what you're going through. though I know that I am here in the United States and modern technology is available, I am still scared. Although mine is gastritis which is curable with the right medication and eroded part of my esophagus, just the thought of we are sick makes me sad. But I know with God's help, we will be OK. I will pray for you ate Cecile..
Hi sis, I understand what you are going through. I have the same thing, that is why I have to take iron everyday, kahit it make me so sick all the time. I have the blood disorder called "thalassemia" which is genetic and run through blood of asian people.
Anywway, I hope you feel better soon, take it easy and I'll include u on my prayer.
