well, I have been stuffing myself with iron in just about everyway imaginable (supplements, food, drinking vitamin c when eating iron, etc.) and even after that greedy vampire nurse sucked out several vials of blood, I am STILL at 11.9. 11.9 – .1 point from average! Oh, hooray! Plus, the test to see if my body is using the iron was positive (my dr. didn’;t ...

brief health update
