Update 16/6

Feeling very tired today.

Got my last few blood tests back. The thyroid function is back to normal (for now).

My blood count is good - but the iron levels are 1/3rd below minimum.

Have to get back onto the iron supplements to try to build up from the blood I lost last week. It's interesting how the body works. My doctor said I did into the iron stores first, then into the red cells second ... which then causes anemia. So I'm just a fraction away from that.

My BP is down from last weeks record (now 150/90) but that's still too high. The bleeding has been less - not so long now, which is good. Much happier with that, but still annoying when it happens.

I go into the city on 9/7 to see another ENT specialist.

Blood Type O+

I'm glad to see I'm one of the most common blood types! see this info - http://www.giveblood.redcross.org.au/page.aspx?IDDataTreeMe...
