what day is it? sunday night?
so, i've been barely able to stay awake for more than 2-3 hours at a time since thursday. while i suppose there are other possibilities, what this is most consistent with is the idea that the iron pills aren't working, my ferritin levels have depleted and my hemoglobin levels are now falling.
what do i do?
i have an appointment this week and i will get a lab sheet to check if the pills have reversed the decline. if they haven't, i'll have to go to the hospital for injections or a transfusion, depending on how bad it is. i already know that they're going to take a blood test if i go to the hospital immediately. so, should i go to the hospital and let them do the bloodwork, or wait for the lab rec? and the answer is that it depends on how certain i am about the hemoglobin being low enough for injections or transfusions - and i need, at the least, to eat before i can figure that out.
i may have to take myself back to the er this morning.
