So I got my blood test results back for my “before” picture. My ESR has risen from 6 in September, to 19, which is no surprise since I feel about 3 X as worse as then. I’ll list everything below, and put *** next to the ones that are out of range:
WHITE CELL COUNT 9.3 (normal 3.8-10.8 thous/uL)
RED CELL COUNT 4.38 (3.8 – 5.10 MILLION/uL)
HEMOGLOBIN 12.2 (11.7-15.5 g/dL) (those iron shots are working)
HEMATOCRIT 36.3 (35.0-45.0%)
MCV 83 (80-100 fL)
MCH 27.8 (27-33.0 pg)
MCHC 33.5 (32-36 g/dL)
RDW 14.1 (11-15.0%)
PLATELET COUNT ******422**** (140-400 thous/uL)
MPV 7.5 (7.5-11.5 fL)
NEUTROPHILS 74 (40-75%)
LYMPHOCYTES ******19****** (20-45%)
MONOCYTES 7 (0-12%)
EOSINOPHILS 0 (0-6%)
BASOPHILS 0 (0-2%)
ABSOLUTE NEUTROPHIL 6882 (1500-7800 Cells/mcL)
ABSOLUTE LYMPHOCYTE 1767 (850-3900 Cells/mcL)
ABSOLUTE MONOCYTES 651 (200-950 Cells/mcL)
ABSOLUTE EOSINOPHIL ********0****** (15-550 Cells/mcL)(My normal is so low, it’s off the charts!)
ABSOLUTE BASOPHIL 0 (0-200 Cells/mcL)
ESR 19 (0-20 mm/h) (Getting up there!)
CRP *******2.5*** (<0.8 mg/dL) (This is very low for me!)
B12 888 (200-1100 pg/mL) (Good ‘ol ilium, still absorbing…)
FOLATES , RBC 515 (>280 ng/mL)
IRON 43 (40-175 mcg/dL) (Returning to the land of the living!)
TIBC 313 (250-450 mcg/dL)
TRANSFERRIN SATURATION *******14**** (15-50%) (Iron shots not saturated yet)
FERRITIN 50 (10-154 ng/mL)
I’ll retest in a month.
