hematologist update

On Tuesday was my appointment with my hematologist. He said we need to figure out why my hemoglobin is low (11.4) if all my iron counts are normal. Drinking iron supplements of 325mg twice a day and Vitamin D 50000 once a week my hemoglobin when from a 10.6 to 11.4 in 5 weeks. But it should be normal, everything else is normal.

They also ran a more labs like 21 to be exact and sonogram of my arteries. He also said that my knees are getting deformed due to my weight which is a problem.

I have to go back to him on Oct 8th so get my results and a full report. By then he will have the answer to my low hemoglobin. I went in today for the sonograms of my arteries and my blood pressure was high (in my neck.. didn't know that was even possible). I never had high blood pressure before so it worried me a little I can't deny it.

Anyways, tomorrow I go back to my surgeon lets see what he has to say. Hope its good news.
