It was actually a good couple days at the clinic. The receptionist said I looked pretty good. I didn't handle my IV well but I DID get my bloodwork back! Vitamin D is low and my iron is VERY LOW! My hemoglobin is ok but my other 3 levels are completely tanked JUST as I suspected. It's so funny when bad test results are such a good thing! So I am on iron supplements. I also learned my red blood cells are small. Not a good thing so hopefully the iron will help. The nurse practioner was so great and helped me so much and answered so many of my questions. We stayed in my friend's cousin's basement that night because we could not afford a hotel and it was such a last minute blessing! Today I felt ok. I was always happy to visit with my Lyme friends. I had a different IV bag today. I laid on a magnet bed, too, and one of the sweet members of the staff answered a lot of questions I had about my gut. I refilled supplements and dumped a giant chunk of money for a package of ten more treatments. They were so sweet even though I was paying with four different credit cards. One odd improvement I have noticed today is I am laughing louder? I'm hoping these next ten treatments plus my boosted iron will get me better faster. I'd like to do 4 treatments in a row sometime next month, too, if I can get it to work out with everyone.
