Marilyn, it's the most natural thing in the world to feel negatively and depressed when you don't feel well and especially if you are worried about what might be wrong with you. Most people who haven't been there don't realize how much depression goes along with any chronic or long term illness. You probably need to see a hematologist. Dr.'s aren't like they used to be. They're not as dedicated. A lot of them are in it for the money, period. They rush them through medical school now and I guarantee you there's no way they can really learn all they study that way. Sometimes you have to do your own research. You know your symptoms and how you feel more than anyone does. I had to do that a few years ago. Try to stay as positive as you can, but don't be afraid to seek another Dr.'s opinion or to look up info on your symptoms etc. Love and Prayers, Jinnye --- On Sat, 1/3/09, MARILYN/DON RICKMAN <mdrick@centurytel.net> wrote: From: MARILYN/DON RICKMAN <mdrick@centurytel.net> Subject: Re: [DOWN-HOME-CHATTER] TRANSFUSIONS To: down-home-chatter@rootsweb.com Date: Saturday, January 3, 2009, 2:07 PM If he knows what is going on then he had better tell us or there will be hell to pay on his part. By law Dr's. are not to with hold information from his patients. He really hasn't done anything to try to find out why this is happening except to run the CBC blood test. I want some testing done that will give us the whys not just simplest answers. I do not feel any stronger today & my head is still pounding & I'm still short of breath the same as before yesterday when they pumped ne full of blood. He said that I would feel better overnight. BULL----. Sorry to be so negative but I want results not lame promises.

Thanks Jinnye. I have looked up anemia & it's causes & there are so many that it is confusion. I also looked up REVERSED CELL LEUKEMIA it is also confusing. I'm not looking for sympathy nor am I trying to self diagnosis but I want ammo to ask questions as to what is causing all of this. I really appreciate your concern & appreciate all of the prayers for me. I know that God's will will be done but I want answers as to my health problems.
