Hi Jojo:
Thank you for thinking of me! I am very excited to go see him--it can't come soon enough. I've been having some more symptoms that are kind of scaring me--so I went to my doctor yesterday and she did some blood work, so we'll see. I'm radiating a lot of heat--like I feel like my skin is burning, but I don't have a fever--she had no idea what it is. Also, my hands are getting shaky--especially when I try to write--my handwriting is a mess
I had an iron panel done---a few months ago I had it done, and my iron and TIBC were on the higher end, and my Ferritin was a little higher than the range, then she did an CBC and metabolic panel and thyroid as well. Just feeling very poopy lately.
And I also wonder--whenever I look up anything on the internet, like "high ferritin"--it comes back with cancer. Almost always when I put in any symptom--cancer is always staring back at me--I don't get it--I would hope if I had cancer they would have found it by now--I hope!
My low back and legs have been unbearable lately too--it's just a deep ache in both of my legs--did you ever have that?
Oh yeah, one more thing---did they send you anything in the mail before your first visit with Dr. Powell? Or do you just fill everything out when you get there. I haven't received anything and I forgot to ask yesterday when I called them. How long was your first appt.?
I sure hope he can help me....
Have a good day,
