Pleasantly Surprised

So...I've been having nasty leg pain...but I've had that for a long time but it's been getting worse. AND it's been starting to go up my arms so I bit the bullet and went to the doc about it.

She took a whack a blood.

This was about 1.5 months ago.

She called me and said....take iron. 2 at least, preferred 3 each day. ferrous fulmanate.

I was HIGHLY skeptical. Docs always tell women to take iron.

BUT I'm becoming MUCH less skeptical. My arms don't get weirdly sore and weak. My restless legs aren't quite so restless. My leg pain has much diminished.

Life is good.
I get tummy cramps and headaches more frequently...but I can live with those. The leg and other muscle pain though...that is WAY better.
