Hi everyone, i am a 62 year old female, and recently had some blood tests for fatigue, and sweating, the first lot came back all fine apart from my pv level was high,
Had repeat bloods done last week incl B6, Follate etc
Have an appointment with my Gp on Wednesday to discuss results, i have read on my notes on system online, they are
u+e normal
slightly raised folate, raised Hb, notmal B12
cholesterol is 9
the rest of the tests show microytic picture.
I have been searching the web for answers, and scaring myself to death, could this be Polycythemia ?
Any advice would be welcome thanks in advance
You wont know until your tested for specificaly for the discease wether it be primary or secondary. Stop worrying a few of us were born with it and asside from symptoms go mostly about our business. Once traced it is controlled.
Cheers Clem, Thanks for replying, I only know what i have read on the internet, and i must say reading through the forum on here has helped me enormously. it's only a couple of days till i see my Gp, so will hang on in there.
I did'nt know you could be born with this, and it is comforting to know that it can be controlled.
Primary is a gene mutation secondary is life style choices. Either way , once u got it u got i fotr good
