I wish my doc had at least given me the counsel not to get up too quickly, as yours did. I couldn't even get my doc to go through the results with me without a second, formal, follow up appointment - seems HIPPA regs prohibit the free-flow exchange of health information with our physicians that many of us enjoyed in years past. But I digress.....

No health problems other than anemia. Outside of that, I'm healthy as can be. Of course, if my iron level isn't improved in 2 months when the blood count is taken again, we'll be looking for another root of the problem such as internal bleeding that IFjane alluded to earlier.
