My Health

I was feeling very weak and drowsy this past week that I decided to have my blood tested. It is not yet time for my monthly injection of Riccormone that corrects the red blood cell level but already I was feeling dizzy, a sign of low hemoglobin and red blood cell. The result yielded a hemoglobin level of 86, par below the normal value 122 to 162. So, I had myself injected with the medicine that corrects the level. It will take sometime before I will feel strong again. I still try to run errands despite feeling weak like buying groceries and medicines because all our purchases are through credit cards and I have to sign for them. I just try to be very careful and walk real slow. I am just worried that the intervals that I would need injection is becoming shorter. It has been a while since I saw my hematologist. I just subject myself to monthly injection by a friend doctor following the hematologist's prescription as maintenance. I think I should see her soon.
After several years of monthly maintenance my real illness is not yet determined. There is no need for me to determine my illness, as long as I know it is not leukemia.
