Well i was in the hospital a few weeks ago because i had a really bad flair up cause of my Crohn's disease. well the did blood work and seen that my IRON WAS EXTREMELY LOW!! Well back in march that's when i found out i was anemic cause of the disease and my doctor told me you're blood count is dropping. So just now this past month i finally got iron from the hospital and my iron scores sky rocketed. I feel warmer i have way more energy no chest pains or anything i feel normal again. Now i see a hematologist every month to see how i am doing. Smile

SO I am not the perfect guy.
I break things a lot.
I don't always make the play.
i don't always do whats right.
I get lazy and procrastinate.
But when i think about it... I mean really think about it...
I remember how sweet life really is ... and despite all my IMPERFECTIONS

GOD STILL LOVES ME :)

OMG THIS IS WONDERFUL NEWS!!! I am SO happy for you that your iron has gone UP and you feel "NORMAL" again!!!

It is SO hard for SO many with chronic anemia to get to that place... CONGRATULATIONS! Great that you are seeing your hematologist regularly and keeping an eye on everything...

I hope and pray that your crohn's disease does not flare again!!! *HUGS*

With Him we "live" no matter the circumstances. At His feet peace of mind can be found. Peace that passes all understanding is my quest now and forever.

Thanks for posting your hopeful story of healing!! This is what we like to see. GOOD NEWS!!! SO glad you're doing well.

I am not a medical professional.

"By knowing our darkness we fully receive and draw upon His strength. By nature, we so often want to be able to stand in our own resolution and commitments to the Lord. Yet God is committed to revealing the weakness of our flesh to us. He wants us to have a leaning heart at the end of the journey. He desires that we would not find our confidence in our commitment to Him but in His commitment to us."
