Right now I'm not even sure what questions to ask, but hopefully I'll get past that stage soon.<br /><br />Ron: You're absolutely right. The patient always needs to advocate for him or herself. I'm going to have to speak out and be courteously demanding.<br /><br />G: The Canadian medical system is far from perfect, but I still prefer it over the American one. Everyone has equal access to care, even if that care is sometimes inadequate.<br /><br />Darcsfalcon: Yeah, you know I only whine because I crave your loving sympathy. ;-) The attention of loved ones is the best medicine.<br /><br />Jenski: I hope I'll find out soon!Sparkling Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12799366562472325812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-2570545166481136682010-08-09T08:28:16.019-04:002010-08-09T08:28:16.019-04:00Hmmm, Karen's experience sounds relevant if yo...Hmmm, Karen's experience sounds relevant if you've had digestive issues in the past.

It took a long while to figure out what was causing the problems (absorption issues in my stomach) I get iron infusions every 2 weeks to keep my levels high enough and a full blood transfusion every 6 weeks or so. Oral meds didn't work for me because of my absorption issues.<br /><br />For me, the key was finding a great hematologist. Things were hit and miss for while, but finding the right doc put me on the right path. <br /><br />Good luck. Ask me if you have any questions. This is an area in which I have lots of knowledge.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14978375225313974459noreply@blogger.com
