8.3 again...

For the last three weeks I've been fluctuating: 8.3 to 8.6 to 8.3 (which is where I was yesterday).

I actually saw my doctor yesterday...I see him maybe once a year for an exam...otherwise we just do the blood tests. Anyhoo all of my organs were in the right place and not enlarged. He also drew 6 VIALS of blood for tests (hello, do you remember I'm ANEMIC!!!)

Two things:
1. I'm going in for a transfusion tomorrow. I'm a little high to be transfused but I'm on vacation out of state next week and we both felt a lot more comfortable filling me up a bit.

2. When my count plateaus again in the 8's - I'm going to start a trial of Cyclosporine. 300mg/twice a day for 6 weeks. Maybe it will help... I'm interested in trying something.

So that's all the news for now!
