This makes me happy that my hemoglobin hasn’t changed. From what it was in January to now is pretty scary looking back. No wonder I was having so many problems. 😬😬😬

The winner of the Olympics decathlon is often considered the 🌏 greatest athlete. Jenner was in her time.
If she transitioned hormonally back in 1974 by 1976 she would not have even made 🇺🇸 women's Olympic Team. Her hemoglobin would reduce to F norms in 3mths.

Trans women have the same fat and muscle mass, hemoglobin % and the same T levels as c1s women.
Trans women are trucks with tiny 4 cylinder motors.
Perhaps a hatchback is better? They are far more efficient!

Judge all women as individuals and not a monolithic group.
Judge us all on our speed, strength, endurance, flexibility, levels etc and not whether we are trans or c1s.
It’s the disparities that are relevant & not the source of the disparities.

Appointment update. My hematologist is concerned that my hemoglobin has dropped almost 2 points in a year, and it’s the lowest it’s ever been. So repeat labs in 3 weeks. 🫤💉

Seriously, there's a lot in the post more worth reading, but just look at this - identical values of WBC, hemoglobin, platelets, cholesterol, kidney function, electrolytes, coagulation times for entire sets of patients (pts 101, 202, 303; pts 1, 102, 203, 304; etc) - smdh:

It seems like different mole species may have different strategies - the star-nosed mole has lungs that are 1.8x bigger than expected for its size, whereas eastern moles seem to have adaptations in their hemoglobin (which delivers oxygen to tissues) that help them cope with elevated CO2 levels.

Hemoglobin level is slightly low so doctor told me to change my diet to get more iron. SO I’ll be a witching my drink of choice to rusty nails.

Good news from me: after just four days of iron supplements and focused eating to include more iron, my cardio recovery (had been trending down for 8 weeks to a low of 21 bpm) has already increased to 24 bpm for the past few days. I’ve also slept better! Hooray for hemoglobin!

Lab results are a bit scary. Red blood count & hemoglobin are down, which makes my anemia worse. My glucose & liver function tests have spiked, due to stress-induced chocolate binges and Tylenol use from chronic pain. Life is really stressing me out. 😩

Waiting for the hospitalist who doesn't work by appointment.
His hemoglobin crashed again and he's going to have to have another unit of blood but ultimately, to stop his bleed, he needs half his colon cut out.
No idea when they plan that surgery since we are waiting for another doc.

Still low traction on post engagement. So you get another shit joke.
Why does jaundice make hemoglobin blush. Because heme is into degradation.

Good news!! After two post surgical blood transfusions, my hemoglobin is back up to a mostly normal range even as I continue with my anticoagulant treatment!!

note to self: methylene blue fixes methemoglobinema, which is a condition where the iron on hemoglobin is in the 3+ state and thus can't bind to oxygen (2-), by reducing it back down to the 2+ state

- pays for a lab test and Hemoglobin is low (not critical though so no reimbursement)
- pays for an ultrasound that shows a mass (don't know what it is so no reimbursement)
- pays for an MRI (looks like a complex fibroid, but still needs a biopsy, so no reimbursement)

just got my lowest hemoglobin A1C since I got type 1 diabetes in 2001.
Theoretically I'm down to 'pre-diabetes' even though I'll always be diabetic and need to take insulin.

I bet this come off because some endurance athletes breath very small quantity of CO2 in order to test how many hemoglobin they have 🤦🏻♂️

Trans athletes change their sex and not their gender identities.
Trans athletes show how sex is DYNAMIC in both physiological & performance terms.
For example in just 3 months trans women attain F levels of hemoglobin & trans men attain M levels!
Trans women experience the opposite of🩸 doping.

HRT is magic, it changes the physical performance levels of both trans men and trans women to c1sgender norms after just two years of gender affirming hormone treatment.

It's part of something fancy.
If they just took some hemoglobin
or even some excess bit of skin,
what kind of show would that be?
People make an evening out of this:
tagging a random atom in you to glow
in the dark of the machine.
Then extraction.

I have a history with this word...
The first time I had read this word out loud was during a science class in middle school. And I pronounced it "hemo-goblin."
True story.
I was humiliated. Thank you for reminding me of the horrors of middle school.
