Dr. Marchbein, Thank you for taking the time to respond to my letter and also for your concern.! I feel a lil better to at least know my problem "may" not be a serious one... I know you're right about seeking medical attention, I'll have to wait until Monday though..... hopefully things will get better by then ....! Anyway, In the mean time, i'll make sure i take my iron pills.!! : ) Thanks Again.!! : )
