Default Hey there!

Were you on the ferrous sulfate while you were on the Imuran? Apparently, I was so anemic that I needed a blood transfusion and my ferritin level was @ 10 @ ONE POINT........

I still take the ferrous sulfate now - 2 a day - and am going to need blood work every week for the next couple of months - yuck!!!!

I am really hoping this will work - my body is already starting to swell a lot and my hands and feet hurt like hell!!!!

I hate the fact that I'm back up to 60, but know it will all work out in the long run........

How are YOU? Are you feeling well? How is your family?

Take care!
ERin

Alas....it was too good to be true....eventually I became too anemic on my dosage......

Just keep on top of your regular bloodwork - there are a LOT of secrets in that red gold that we have.
