Re: not coping

Yeh it was just the anemia thing @Snowie the dr gave me a list of everything im low in 😞 i need to ask about an infusion. I cant find pills to take that dont contain lactose and i cant stand the taste it makes me throw up which defeats the purpose of tsking it. Its disgusting :nauseated_face::nauseated_face::nauseated_face:

Re: not coping

Yuk 🤮@outlander that must be hard for you hun. Even though you don't like needles an infusion might be the best way to do it. Might help you feel a bit better too.

Re: not coping

Its disgusting @Snowie i feel like a vampire. Cant be specific but u might get the taste description. I think an infusion might be a good idea if they will agree to it. It would be quicker to rebuild the cells back up, the folate and b12 as well. Its really hard having to avoid lactose too cause otherwise i could take the small tablets once a day but i cant find one 🤦‍♀️

Re: not coping

You describe it fine hun, I can imagine it wouldn't taste that good :nauseated_face:

It must be hard to find one without lactose so an infusion might be your only choice.

Re: not coping

Take kids to school and pick them up, take dog to vet, food shopping and usual load of washing @outlander . So about the norm. H working from home again tomorrow so that might make things a bit tense 😬🙁

Have you got much planned?
