Happy Christmas letter.

As you know last week I was at my blood specialist, I have issues with with hemoglobin and iron counts.

Got a hospital appointment for 18 and 25 Jan for hemoglobin and iron transfusion.

Still after 3 years seeing blood specialist no one can tell me how my hemoglobin iron white cells platelet counts are all over the place.

Problem is if hemoglobin and iron very low oxygen doesn't go through blood system well enough to go to vital organs eg heart brain lungs, that's when I know its all low cause I start to get breathless a bit.

When I had the transfusion 3 yrs ago I was excellent after it, now getting a bit breathless.

They have investigated to see if there's a link between my bullous emphysema and all this but nothing found.

A walking living mystery.

After 3 years of seeing my blood specialist every 3 months you think I would be an expert, but no lol I just go with the specialists, my blood counts go up and down and they ain't got a clue why, ive had every test under the sun, now I need a hemoglobin and iron transfusion to top things up.

Merry Christmas
