No sir! What got me to the doctor was I thought it was kidney stones. My guess you have heard about the pain related to those. Urine test proved no blood in the urine so I went for a scan. It showed an anomaly forming in my abdomen. They believed it was leakage of gas. After 5 day on the morphine drip the decide to go in. That involved gutting me like a fish & pulling out my intestine to look them over. Not an easy surgery to recover from. I'm just glad I didn't end up shitting out the side of my stomach.
<>…but I can’t east red meat for a while, and maybe anymore.
WTF is this shit, you ask?
I’ve been diagnosed with hereditary hemochromatosis, which means my body retains iron. Like, super unhealthy levels that could cause organ damage.
Never knew I had until the last year or so, very strange that it would manifest in my 50’s.
There’s no cure.
Treatment includes regular blood-letting…seriously, its 2024 and this is the answer?
So now I’m sitting here wondering what the hell I’m supposed to eat.
It’s bad enough that I’m that gluten-free guy from CA. It’s celiac you MFers, another thing that manifested later in life.
That is all.
<>My iron is way too high, donation centers won’t take it.
When I give, they throw it out.
Another challenge is that I don’t bleed all that much after the dust 50ml or so. Doc wanted my to give 500ml, took 45 mins just to get 75ml and I wasn’t gonna sit there all day.
So instead of giving blood every few weeks, I need to go much more frequently. Yay me
Oh and this happened:
When my doc referred me to a blood specialist, they didn’t tell me it was at a cancer center. Imagine my surprise when I get a call from a cancer center asking when I’d like to come in…I was like WTF, I have cancer now???
Thankfully they also specialize in blood disorders. And I also don’t have cancer.
Sorry to hear. Hope treatment works....
On an unrelated issue....Hey, Zod! How much blood would you need to get enough iron to make a wicked-looking steak knife? Asking for a friend.....
I'll say one thing about death no one ever comes back saying phuc that it sucks!Beats the alternative.
Yeah that too. I really do need to order a new keyboard. as this one truly doe suck, but it kinda works.I was asking what is "ask" meat?
See the part in red on my previous question.
Is the mystery word "elk"?Yeah that too. I really do need to order a new keyboard. as this one truly doe suck, but it kinda works.
I had a similar problem when I first started donating.My iron is way too high, donation centers won’t take it.
When I give, they throw it out.
No, it is "asp"./Is the mystery word "elk"?
all No chicken, beef, veal, pork, lamb or goat. I would have ate wild game but I wasn't getting much hunting done after hunting Africa. My job & seasonal made going hunting impossible for 22 years except in Africa or exotics. Exotics cost about the same as Africa all including.Is the mystery word "elk"?
Only thing I could think of.
I thought it meant meat you 'ask' for (i.e., the good stuff)Is the mystery word "elk"?
Only thing I could think of.
Maybe they could run you through an MRI?...which means my body retains iron. Like, super unhealthy levels that could cause organ damage.
