As I made mention of my appointment with the Dr, last night I am home now and have the results of this batch of blood work. First of all I have too many red blood cells, My triglycerides are abnormal. My iron is down a lot and so is my B 12. He said I have an autoimmune deficiency which I have always been aware of but it was more evident this time around, I have anemia but I still dont understand the increase of red blood cells. As a rule more red blood cells cause hemochromatosis and that would explain the extreme levels of fatigue but it makes no sense if my iron and B12 levels are down. Is there a doctor in the house??? On a great note I dont have diabetes what so ever, my cholesterol is good both the good and bad levels. glucose levels are all excellent. I told him about the blood gases I have had done and am getting the results on Friday. They may shed some light on these oddities that are going on in my system. No one should sleep for 12 to 16 hours at any given time and I am and it makes no sense. So perhaps when we see the results from the blood gasses it will explain things more clearly. I already am aware that my ph levels in the blood gasses are abnormal but to what extent I have no idea and Dr NIkon will have to see todays results. Maybe there is a reason as to why I am so sick all the time. So I have to not think about it anymore until I see the Dr Friday as I must concentrate on my theology studies. It is not uncommon for me to be a conundrum to doctors, I have often had them confused with my health. Lets face it I am obese yet I have no diabetes or indicators for this disease, I have no problems with cholesterol and still they shake their heads and wonder how come Terry doesnt have these problems. I thank God I dont have these problems. I am not one to overeat even though I am overweight but that is a genetic thing in our family. Our family all have weight problems. None are exempt. My dear little sister she is terrified to gain an ounce. I dont blame her. But she knows she is predisposed to this condition. I have lost weight several times in my life and it nearly killed me. My body only is happy where it is now and that is the way it has always been except for the three drastic measures that I took to lose a couple of hundred pounds. As I see it, our Lord made us all different shapes and sizes. I figure if a person doesnt like for what size I am then they are a pretty shallow individual and quite frankly are not worthy of my friendship because there are others who are. I have tons of friends and they love me for who and what I am not for what I look like. If we all looked alike the world would be a dismal place to live in as far as I am concerned. My life is precious to me, I want to live a long time and to be healthy but we have to find out what is wrong and hopefully there is something that can make it better. So my dear and loving family and friends there you have it in a nutshell. Stay tuned to Friday for further updates as to what may be happening in this run down fatigued arthritic body. Love all of you. Praying God blesses each of you.
