blood.

My blood iron levels didn't really change this week, so the hematologist suggests that as long as my hematocrit stays above 30, we will continue infusions every two weeks.  I asked if I could add a chewable iron back to my regimen, she said that it's unlikely to be absorbed well - seeing as the constant state of anemia I'm in - but if I have something I think might do the trick- give it a whirl.  I am. 

I am sick of the needles. 

Truthfully, I don't like the sick feeling I get after the infusion. 

I know that the iron infusions are likely something I am going to deal with for life, but I'd like to avoid them as much as possible until better medical interventions are devised for us altered folk.
