I hear you, Fuzzy. *hugs*

I've never had one. I almost needed one after I gave birth because I was very anaemic and losing a lot of blood but they did a blood test and I guess it was ok. They never came mentioned it again (though they did give me lots of iron pills) and I was discharged the next day.

I hope you start feeling better soon.

Hope they can determine what is causing your symptoms. Have you been under a lot of stress lately?

Although you didnt have to have a blood transfusion i used to work in the blood bank, I can tell you that any transfusion reaction is rare and even a minor one is taken very seriously. The cross matching done on blood these days is very strict and accurate!

I had the same symptoms and it was just dehydration. Have they given you fluids?

 

[Staci]

satin no fluids per IV but have told me to make sure that I am drinking fluids, which i am

i am seriously considering having one of the guys at work hook me up to an iv and flush about 1000 cc into me

stress will definitely effect blood levels

I am proof of that

I am proof of that

seriously???? never even thought of this!?

 

[Alien Allen]

seriously???? never even thought of this!?

Yup it can

I have elevated levels

I test negative for the main thing suspected

I have had a reduction in the levels the last while.

It depends upon what the problem is but can stress can be a factor.

Also make sure your hands are warm if they are taking a finger prick. That can effect the test result

 

[Staci]

when i test my blood sugar i always "milk" my finger first. it makes it soooooo much easier to get it out
