When I, and it seems every woman on the planet, was advised to take Vitamin D, my tumor marker tests went crazy because D is an estrogen. Had to stop taking it. When I was told my B12 was really low and to choose between shots or pills, I told my pharmacist that the sublingual B on the shelf had very little B12, he ordered another one for me by 21st Century.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-74067727265209557922016-07-04T00:07:52.134-05:002016-07-04T00:07:52.134-05:00Debra, glad you are feeling better.

Our son is almost a year into stage IV colon cancer and has had to be the doctor and the patient nearly this whole time.......he is so tired of it!! He is now in NYC and just had the primary tumor removed and a pump to deliver chemotherapy only to his affected liver in concentrated doses. Our Lord is Mighty and powerful and is "Plan A". My prayers are with you do that He will heal and restore your health and you can live the life you want to. Living in the Midwest, all they will do is pretty much write you off and offer a little chemo to prolong your days. It is shameful in my estimation.....that if you want a proactive doctor, you have to go somewhere else. I am glad to hear that God has guided your research and led you to some answers........don't give up....what is impossible with man is possible with God!!!Blessings for health.

Mine was non-existent until I started taking prescription doses. Really turned my fatigue around a lot. I still have low iron but I cannot seem to get it higher. But, it isn't so low as to be anemic so I am grateful. Good luck in your health care. Believe it or not, it wasn't my PCD that found the root of my fatigue, it was my rheumatologist!LLaskey1117https://www.blogger.com/profile/10095174834719583867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-19939145886887051032016-07-03T09:13:14.156-05:002016-07-03T09:13:14.156-05:00Debra, I know what you mean about letting a Dr. in...Debra, I know what you mean about letting a Dr. intimidate you. I've worked for 2 different MD's in my position with Public Health. I was their Administrative Assistant for 24 years. Believe me when I say, they are no different from you or I. They are just people with big egos. They have their own set of problems, some self-made, and are just as goofy at times. I had a dear friend tell me one time that the best way to handle a doctor was to call them by their first names. It works!! :) Just talk to them like you would any one else, and be sure to stand your ground. You know your body way better than they do. I fought the VA for my former husband for over 10 years to get the services he required from his time in Viet Nam. Just keep standing your ground. I know you know all this, but I want to encourage you to really realize, Docs are not the be all end all. They just think they are. This is part tongue-in-cheek, but it is true. I'm hoping and praying for your continued improvement, and as always love your decor. Take care, and keep up the good fight. Have a quiet, lovely holiday.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04098902223786529522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-89826317256756697902016-07-03T07:07:48.491-05:002016-07-03T07:07:48.491-05:00Your woes bring back vivid recall of issues I had ...Your woes bring back vivid recall of issues I had with advocating for close relatives years back. The one (with cardiomyopathy) receives B12 injections monthly and was dx'd with pernicious anemia. The other's ended up an even more complicated blood disorder, but persistence is key. You are so right in that being prepared with questions in hand and the Dr's 10 minute window are critical...have had to advocate for both myself and my husband in this last month. It becomes very necessary to be or become an extroverted personality to help yourself! I love your willingness to take on the task and do it, Debra. And I love your decor, with old friends coming out of storage. They make me happy. Our 4th is a quiet fizzle due to health circumstances, but our neighbor's twins made sure we had a few big bangs last night. I thought our balcony exploded.Rita C at Panoplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351306074493103021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448019025261796302.post-58218912943503915402016-07-02T20:03:01.355-05:002016-07-02T20:03:01.355-05:00Your dining room chair covers are so beautiful too...Your dining room chair covers are so beautiful too.
