Hi Dana,
Thank You for your thoughts and prayers I sure do appreciate it. Dr Patel called again today. My potassium level is still low. Dr Patel gave me 30 more pills to take. Im also starting to eat bananas. Maybe between the meds and the bananas my potassium level will get back to normal.
He hasnt said or done much about my anemia yet. I think its because hes trying to get my potassium level straightened out first. As far as my anemia goes Im going to try taking one a day vitamins with iron and see if that helps. Ive always had a problem with my iron ever since I was little.

hey [:
thank you sososo much! :D

Hi Dana
Can you please continue to pray for me? Yesterdays dr appt didnt go so well.
Im happy to say my heart,liver and kidney tests came back normal however I wasnt home 10 mins from my 1st hospital visit and dr patel called and said my potassium level was critical he wanted me back to the hospital right away to be retested. My level was still the same after being retested so he gave me 4 effervescent tablets similar to alka-seltzer (tastes nasty!) to see if that will help my potassium or not. I have a blood test today to determine if it helped or not. My potassium is so critical that dr patel said its life threatening. Dr Patel said I couldve had a heart attack or a stroke. Luckily I didnt. My potassium level is 2.6 normal range is 3.1-5.1 . Dr Patel also told me I have anemia. They found 3 things wrong with me in 2 days. Chronic Venous Insufficiency (disease of the veins),anemia and critical potassium level. Yesterday they ran me through the mill with tests. I had 3 blood tests, a urnine sample,and a ekg.
