My hemoglobin count was a whopping 6.7. I had no idea what that meant except they wanted me in the ER ASAP. I fought it because although I was not really feeling any symptoms (in hindsight I see it differently). I had a next day appt. for an upper GI and colonoscopy and they found the hernia with camerons lesions. They bled so slowly that my body adapted over time.<br><br>Because I was not passing out, while awaiting surgery and getting the other required tests, they let me do iron 3X a day and it has worked great so no tranfusion risks or iron inffusion. I am getting surgery in the next few weeks. I was blessed they identified the problem so quickly.JRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157301586302505776.post-76629843480777737522011-11-30T06:18:34.000-08:002011-11-30T06:18:34.000-08:00WOW! sounds exactly like what happened to me in Fe...WOW! sounds exactly like what happened to me in February. just got bloodwork done lastnight and all the iron numbers are normal. i'm surprised they didn't do a blood transfusion when it was 7, i think mine was 6.5-6.7. I'm taking one iron supplement a day now. what is the surgery you are going to have? i'm not having any surgery, i guess the lesions are healed.

Unfortunately, the anemia returned, and I'm back on the iron. Only starting to feel better, it has been exhausting and frustrating. Now I'm due for an endoscope to consider surgury.Brian Jacqueshttp://gravatar.com/pair0doxnoreply@blogger.com
