Temporary Solution Update…
Posted on October 28, 2007 by Christine | 4 Comments
Finally, finally!, finally the “take two birth control pills a day” solution seems to be working. I found out that if I take them 12 hours apart, that is the key. So things are finally getting better. Good thing too, because yesterday did not start off well – the iron deficiency was really obvious. I felt woozy and dizzy a few times, especially after taking a shower – I think the heat got to me. I ate meat every chance I could get and took an iron tablet, and by about 3pm or so I was feeling much better. Adreniline probably helped take over too, since that is about the same time that Regina and I started shooting the wedding here in Asheville!
So I made it through the day just fine, and I’m pumping up on iron and water today and feeling pretty darn good. Whew! Attending a workshop all week while feeling less than human would not be fun.
The weather here is AMAZING. Amazing!!! As someone said, we had a “Chamber of Commerce” day for the wedding yesterday. Outdoors with the groomsmen for a few hours? No problem – we didn’t even break a sweat. It was a bit cool when the sun went down, and we were pretty cold by the time we walked 3-4 blocks back to the car, but I would rather be cold any day than hot! One of the best men commented on how it was like summer for him, coming from Colorado. I commented that it was like winter for me, coming from Houston!
We were exhausted by the time we were driving home, but needed a few essentials and stopped at Ingles to pick them up – only to discover that someone has bought one of those crazy witches!!! Can you believe it? I mean… WOW.

Glad you are feeling better! You have had a crazy busy schedule the last few weeks and have every right to be tired just on THAT account.
Mmm…meat. We should go to a churrascaria when you get home and pump up that iron with all that meaty goodness.

It seems kinda crazy that the dr is letting you get that bad to begin with??!!

Thanks so much Laurie for both the email and the comment here – I truly appreciate it! And I’m up for dinner anytime!
Jenn, I agree – it does seem crazy, although I guess they don’t consider it an “emergency” surgery normally, so that is why they booked it in November. I don’t know what the solution will be as far as the pills themselves though. I just don’t want to be back where I was earlier this week EVER again!

Oh, Sweetie, I didn’t realize you were getting iron deficient! I have a product for you. I learned about it when Abby was anemic – I have tended towards anemia my whole life. We are eating different now and I got this stuff – Floradix Herbs and Iron, it’s a liquid – completely natural, made from veggies and Abby is all better and now I take it EVERY DAY and feel much, much more energy and stamina. You can get it online or from Sun Harvest or some other health food type store. Try a bottle. trust me. Feel better.
