I need elemental Iron
by The Chemistry Guy
The results of our company annual physical examination was given.. I got a hit of GRADE B - meaning I am physically fit but with minor ailment... Anemia that is.
I know I will come to this point as this is an expected adverse effect of my ARV - combivir.
Result was below the normal standard of hemoglobin count. Maybe this is the reason why I always feel tired.
It's not really chronic as my hemoglobin count is just below required standards. As prescribed, I bought a 3-month supply of Ferrous Sulfate and will undergo the test after 2 or 3 months.
Oh well, not really that great.
