Anyhow, i had some medical problems thursday night and went to the emergency room and they confirmed there well they said they think i had a TIA. I have alot of fibroids and my blood count was down to 6.4 or somthing close to that..This and my weight they told me is the reason i had that TIA. Anyhow , it is kinda scary but they have to put you on blood thinners for a TIA then your already having some female problems ...so It is scary right? What do i do now? IF anyone and i do know there is good RNS on here can help and update me on all of this i would appreciate it alot..What made me go in to the hospital is i gues my speech got a bit slurry and my right leg not my arm just my leg went numb for maybe fifteen minutes then stopped and all was ok again . They did a CT on me and had to give me potassium tablets even though ive not been sick or do not take water pills. Anyhow, another question is this why did i sleep so much after that happend i mean hours i slept and am sill very tired? OK ill quit as you can see im kinda upset and i know my family doent want me to worry anymore than i already am, so they just keep saying you will be ok sam but i really need to know from people who are not related what all you think ok? Honest only...oh and btw my blood pressure was never high in fact i have problems withjust the opposite and when i was there it was only i think 94/38 and they did give me some shots in my tummy to help the blood not clot.

a TIA--transient ischemic attack--is a warning, you could have a stroke. Eat more raw vegetables, and fruits if you aren't diabetic, and munch on raw nuts like walnuts or almonds. An easy way to get raw spinach down is to put it in a blender with frozen bananas, frozen pineapple, a tiny bit of vanilla and either orange juice or water. It makes a lovely green shake and you can't taste the spinach, in fact it makes it creamy. Drink a lot of those and you will lose weight and your health will improve. I have been an RN since 1984.

It is essential you get that hemoglobin up. Ferrous fumurate with ascorbi acid tablets would help. Then, you need to get rid of those bleeding uterine tumors. Anticoagulant therapy would stop for that. A higher hemoglobing will give your brain more O2.
