No wonder I feel crappy. My Hgb came back as an 8.8.
I'm guessing that the stress of losing my job has something to do with it. It's been horrible the last few weeks. Even though my doctor says that stress has nothing to do with my counts- I think that is NOT TRUE! They say stress can kill you - so why can't it lower your Hgb?
One positive note - I went to the gym today and was able to walk on the treadmill for 1/2 hour with a heart rate of less than 100! For the last two weeks - I would start on the treadmill at 130 and go no lower than 120. This is with no incline and a speed of 1.3mph. So I know that not being at work is having a positive effect on my health (imagine that!).
Here's to hoping that my counts go back up! At least it's been 2.5 months since my last transfusion instead of 4 weeks.
Hurrah!

Hi Pam,
My name is Shannon and I am a mother of a 2yr old with DBA. He was diagnosed at 6months also. He is currently on predinisolone and a bunch of other meds. I just wanted to say hi and say I feel all your frustration.
