anemia?

Besides the usual weakness I have some extra weakness (or lack of energy--I can still lift stuff it seems) from anemia. I'm eating various vegetable a lot, an iron pill (multivitamin) and v-8 juice but I've got no gains in the week since I started that. I see the doctor in a few days and he might do something more dramatic, like give me some blood to boost my red blood cell count. It's a side-effect of the Afinitor.

Cough

The doctor gave me a cough suppressant which works a good part of the time. It's a pill. It stifles the urge to cough somehow.

Afinitor 20 days in

I went to see the doc today and he gave me a prescription for my cough (yay!) and he said that everything looks good except I have some anemia. He suggested some items to eat to control it (green vegies, liver, etc.) first.
