Hi there,
Got my blood tests back. So my CBC, Homocystein, serum b12, and Iron/TIBC all came back normal! Oddly, my VitD test was deficient, 11 or so I think. Admittedly San Francisco doesnt have a lot of sun, but the place Im at right now has plenty(dont go out a WHOLE lot in it though). My doc said I was pretty normal and so did my parents so we didnt get any further tests, even though I still feel like my "anemic" symptoms kinda warrant one. I'll probably be taking more Multi's, maybe change up my diet and go from there. I'm getting on a plane in 2 days and I'll be doing those tests I mentioned there.
I'll let them know when I go back. I live in California so I don't know what my chances will be there. But thank you!
Hahaha thank you. I actually just found this tiny ulcer in my mouth and I'm freaking out over a bit. Let us see how this goes...
Hello sanya lol I know hes not going to have uterine biopsy of course but I was just sharing my experience with only biopsy I ever had. And no wasn't offered knock out then as far as scopes yes drs here a required to knock out unless a doctor says otherwise. I don't the patient can refuse the knock out either.
Yeah, good!
Or not good because
you don't know what to tackle if CBC, Homocystein, VitB12, Iron are all normal and do not indicate anaemia therefore.
Your symptoms must be down to something else, but not oxygen supply or VitB12 deficiency.
VitD is often low and supplements help.
Hm, if you are not on the upper limit with VitB12, you can still take small VitB complex supplement.
There is an Anaemia forum here in patient.info, but I don't think you can be called anaemic with normal findings.
Your heart is ok, your lungs ok? Good sleep? Any pains? Or all symptoms very general like heachache, dizzyness, tiredness? Not overworked by any chance?
Hm. Hard to tell what is up. Especially from around the globe. ;-)
Exactly, a bit of a conundrum there.
Right, its definitely not due to B12, now I know. I'm supplementing multis to cover a large area for now.
My heart is okay I think, lungs too.
My symptoms as of late have been, dizziness, some headaches, some eye floaters, tightness in my upper abs, and some occasional gut "nipping" pain. Nope, trying to relax.
Yeah I suppose so. My parents cant pinpoint exactly where Im at either haha
Also to add onto my symptoms. I have noticed diarrhea in the morning and early afternoon. I usually have 2-3 a day consecutively.
1st stool: Looks like cross between type 2 and type 5. medium sized lumps and not too soft
2nd stool: I usually end the excrement with this one. Its usually a typical type 6 stool.
3rd stool: Type 6 as well. Usually leftovers for when I don't finish the 2nd stool or clean up to abruptly.
I'm going to assume the 1st stool is from lunch the previous day and 2/3rd are dinner+late night snacks. Trying to find some sort of correlation between the meals I ate and which ones end up turning into what at what time. I apologize for the colorful descriptions.
