Tara Hunt today mentions she has been putting off dealing with some “minor” health related issues. She says “no more” and I applaud her (much as I applauded her at Seattle MindCamp – she rocks). Its the little things that add up to kill you.
In related news, I went in for my weekly treatment for hemochromatosis and got the results of the first six weeks of therapy – my FE load is down nearly 25%! HC is a classic example of a little thing that, left untreated, will kill you pretty soon. It just doesn’t pay to put this stuff off.
I’m kind of excited that what looked like an 8 month treatment program is now looking like 4. I’m also getting used to the phlebotomies. I’ve worked out my fluid regimen and I can “fill the bag” in about 15 minutes and be out in less than an hour.
Very cool.
How brave of you to discuss this and it is so useful for someone like me, who has been told all of her life that talking about health issues is a no-no. Thanks for sharing and I hope I can be as brave!
