{pain} 4 • in my neck and in my right arm… for a change. {sleep} 7h 31m – woke up late.
Having been bedridden for three months, my body has revolted. My labs are complete sh^te – my A1C & sugars are up, bad cholesterol up, good cholesterol down, iron dangerously low, and low vitamin D. So, I’m now taking prescription vitamin D, editing my diet yet again, and had the first of my two iron infusions today. Things didn’t go quite the way they should have… in fact, they went a little wonky altogether.
I learned that if you want to become more like an Oompa Loompa, or the former president, you need to have iron infused into your skin subcutaneously, rather than directly into the vein. It hurts, a bit, but if you truly want that orangey sheen… this is one of the more semi-permanent avenues.
The Infusion Center is very good, please do not think this is their fault. Instead of removing my blue, long-sleeved, shirt – I decided to push up the sleeve, not thinking of my obese upper arm & the tourniquet I was creating. I didn’t feel the pain/pressure, or I did, I just didn’t think about it. I have another infusion in a week & I hope that I will be able to use the same arm, as my left arm doesn’t have Big Blue, my favourite vein.
I’ll keep you posted, of course.
🗣️Talk Soon,
Cecelia ✌🏻🌊💙
