I will admit that I got nervous when she brought the news home and steered clear of her for almost two weeks - I asked her if she would "rest better" if she slept in our spare room.(Ulterior motive? You Bet!) :wg:
She took me up on it and thanked me for trying to help her nip it.
If you two are living together and have this option, you might want to give it a shot.
Hope she is back on her feet soon.
When does she have the blood tested again?
(Doc waited six weeks in my wife's case)
Good to hear.. No we don't live together! She is actually anemic, and her rest patterns are scetchy!Quote:

So, my educated guess would be that you will most likely be fine if you're living healthy, being active and getting enough rest.
Even though it sounds like common sense, when you're caught up in a schedule and a job you can be blind to this stuff cause the focus is not always on yourself or how you're feeling.
Couldnt eat anything besides liquids because my glands in my throat were so swollen.Quote:

I wouldn't worry. About 50% of people in the US have it.
I have sterio.
