New doctor today was created by amberyard
I'm going to see a new doctor at 2pm and will give update when I get home. I just hope this doctor doesn't judge a book by its cover (lots of tattoos). Wish me luck and will post when I get home with count. Last count was 77 in January

The doctor was good and knew my money trouble. So he sent me to my regular doctor for 9 new blood test. He is worried about how my platelets are always enlarge and high red blood cells. So I will get family doctor fax me most of the test tomorrow and the rest should be in next week. Going for re check on 3/14 and to talk about the blood test.

My count went from 77 to 83, and the B12 test came back normal. Just waiting on the other test to come back.

Waiting on an ANA test, from what I can tell it could indicate sides of Lupus.?

An elevated ANA indicates inflammation. It is only one small piece of blood work that can indicate Lupus. An ANA can also be elevated with ITP and other autoimmune disorders.

I hope everything comes out okay.

MCV is high, Neutrophils is high, Lymphs is low (which these have been this way from the beginning) Folate, Hemolysate 339.3 did not say what was normal. But I have been to the re check yet. ANA Negative

Does anyone have any ideas?
