Iron Infusion tomorrow

I'm a bit over Crohns. I feel it dictates everything about my life at the moment. I feel fortunate that I'm still able to work full time in a fairly high pressure job but thank goodness I'm on annual leave at the moment because I'm so exhausted!

I've just had my loading dose of Humira a week ago and feel like I can hardly get out of bed at the moment, I'm so tired.

I'm having an iron infusion tomorrow morning and hopefully a B12 injection too.

My recent results showed:

Ferritin 14 ug/L
Haemoglobin 112 g/L
Neutrophils 8.4
Vitamin B12 214 pmol/L
Active B12 90 pmol/L

One thing I'm excited about though is that I've had travel insurance for Crohns approved for my 9 day South Pacific cruise in February. Now to try to stay out of hospital and away from a surgeon's knife!
