 Got the call from my doctor today about my newest test and hit another dead end. The last thing that I want is bad news but I just want some answers. They say they want me to start taking copper pills to try and bring up my blood levels. I have low Iron and copper which they say both can cause my lack of feeling in my limbs, but have had bad reactions to IV iron and because of past surgeries can not absorb oral Iron. So they are hoping the copper will bring both of them up. Sounds a little far fetched to me. When does the depression kick in? Tiried of feeling worthless.

 Aw Jay, I'm sorry you didn't get an answer. I think that is the worst part. The copper deal does sound odd, but who knows maybe it will help. Not to bring you down more than you are, but can you even do your stained glass work, when your limbs have no feeling? It must be hard to hold on to things.

Thinking of ya...

 Well the worst part is that I can not stand but for a very short time before my legs begin to ache. You just can not build the old fashion leaded glass that I do sitting down. Sucks. If you want to see my work go to my web sit at www.stickeyfingersglass.com , I can not build fast these days but can still share my work. Thanks lar

 Lovely work. Have you been able to study up on the copper? I can tell you a lil bit about it. Copper is not something to be taken lightly. It is actually a major thing. It is usually passed in the urine and can also be excreted in fecal matter. I would definitely DO my research before I begin this regimen. Because it can be very hard on your organs and their functions. Sounds like yours have been through plenty as is so do your research first.
