But when God gave me my illness this spring, my neurologist told me I am a hyper-anemic. There goes that dream... *tears.

He has always done it. Then his son at the age of 17 had brain cancer. He needed blood routinely, until he died. Basically you never know when you or someone you love needs it. I am so proud of you.<br /><br />Eat more green veggies and meat. That should help. keep tryingDaCatsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940576017929388330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3998794086107430366.post-22014831510819497752010-08-23T12:15:50.637-05:002010-08-23T12:15:50.637-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.DaCatsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940576017929388330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3998794086107430366.post-24327904097905969652010-08-12T16:41:31.746-05:002010-08-12T16:41:31.746-05:00aww..Brooke, you aren't weird!

I also take B12 vitamins the day before, too. I have to do the same thing plus drink lots of water to keep my blood pressure high enough. Once I was told I couldn't donate because my hemoglobin level wasn't high enough AND low blood pressure. :)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00079232784292006278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3998794086107430366.post-32253844419881385092010-08-11T15:00:55.103-05:002010-08-11T15:00:55.103-05:00Aww...poor thing!!
