I saw the doc, my iron counts are lower and the B12 is too. I changed iron supplements now and I am going to get more injections of B12. This wasnt a surprise for me and I am not upset about it. I do have to go for a sleep study to figure out if the anemia is only part of my deep desire to sleep all the time. Doc also suggested I may have some other stuff going on too, that we will explore if the sleep study comes back fine. I go for a consultation for the sleep study at the end of the month, then I will schedule my slumber party at the sleep clinic!

I hear they put things on your head that muck up your hair. I'd like to pass for that reason alone, but I would also like to not have Restless Leg Syndrome (doc mentioned this specifically) - what a silly disorder and I have mocked the commercials since the medications came out... If I have sleep apnea, it wouldnt shock me, I am sure my dad has it, his snoring is intense! I will also probably follow up with the Ear, Nose & Throat doctor because my nose doesnt seem to be working like it should (I did have 50% of my septum removed in 2005 or 2006 because it was severely deviated and I had a good deal of my turbinates reduced.)

I am still trying to get better, its just not as easy as it seemed it would be. Also - I am trying to force myself out of the rut of sleeping and more sleeping. Mike and I went hiking with Chris and holy moly did it blow. The hiking was great, but my body really didnt not like the 8 miles or the up and down. It hurt going up and it hurt going down and I hurt for days after. I would do it again. It felt good to be out and about. More about that later...
