ewakedals, im hoping the MRI is okay. i'm terrified about the dye because the last time I had a ct scan with dye, my hand/arm blew up. I will cry if that happens again.

yeah, the iron pills are necessary for me. it's either that or iron/blood infusions and i'm SOO sick of IV infusions. I've had 24 of them already so i'd much rather just take a few pills a day. I do eat liver though but it's never been strong enough to get my iron levels up. I take 54 mg a day in iron pills. my favorite liver recipe is in a meat loaf. I just ground it up and mix it in with the beef/pork. it has a strong taste, obviously, but i'm used to it.

well, the MRI was a few days ago and it was really loud and annoying. the earplugs are totally useless.

I was thinking MRIs should be used in police/fbi interrogation rooms if the suspect won't give something up. 2 hours in the machine will break them. I promise.

results came back normal- THANK THE UNIVERSE. still not sure what is up though. I've noticed a lessening of symptoms since I got off the vancomycin. I also just got my third negative C DIFF test so I really don't need to be on vanco anyway. i'm really thrilled about that. it was hard getting rid of C DIFF. I think the longer time on the antibiotics was beneficial for that at least.

Soystud, yes u were very reassuring hehe

Petah, thats interesting. I missed my last shot in purpose since my levels are ok. I know there are two types of b 12 to take and maybe the shots i got werent the right one for me.
