What test are you going for?????
Oops, I thought today was Friday!!! Wow, I'm obviously ready for the weekend! Well, have a great day at work!
t.
Good luck today! I know you'll be fine too.
Take Care.
I would think that if it was serious they'd have you in there ASAP!!! I know doctors can be very persuasive about getting their patients in if something is seriously wrong.
Hang in there!!!
You are going to be fine!
Thank you Raine...I will have to see. Last time i went for blood in May, my platelettes were normal. I don't know why they dropped so much.
Bip-My appt isn't until Oct. 8. So until then I will think I have a terrible life-threatening blood disorder. I DON'T NEED THIS RIGHT NOW!!
RELAX c arm dowm Im here for you. What is wrong? You were always here for me all summer If you need me Im here for you. I know the feeling about being afraid something is seriosly wrong.
When is your appt.?
Suzi, sorry you are freaking out. Try to calm down (I know, easier said than done) I don't have my latest numbers. But I have blood test results from a year ago. You MCV and MCH numbers are very close to mine. In 2005, they were
MCV 66
MCH 20.5
HEMATOCRIT 39
In 2006, they were
MCV 64
MCH 20.2
HEMATOCRIT 39.5
My platelet count were 262 in 2006 and 269 in 2005.
They were all considered to be in normal ranges. You can look online regarding the platelet count. I really don't know much about it. Sorry I don't have more current figures. I didn't get a copy. But I will be seeing my doctor this Friday, unfortunately, for yet another symptom. I can ask him for a copy then. Hope it helps a little. PLEASE TRY NOT TO WORRY!!! Did your GP say anything?
Thalassemia is a chronic anemia. Raine and I both have it in the minor form. It is not life-threatening. If we were majors, then their would be a problem. It is that our red blood cells die off faster than the ordinary person. Therefore, our hemoglobin is low and so are other parts of our blood. All the numbers are all over the place. Most likely, my results are due to my condition but of course I need to check into it to just make sure. I am hoping that is all that it is and not something else that is developing. My numbers are a little lower than the numbers from May, but I know that the numbers can fluctuate. I am just panicking because of my personality...I am just afraid that THIS time they will find something more. JUST LIKE ALL OF US!!
I am sorry, but can tell me about thallasemia. I have not heard of it before.
I didn't talk to the doctor yet,..she sent me a letter and she isn't in today. I had a routine blood test done because my bloodwork is always off because of my thallasemia. I am just so scared right now.
I posted to bip before I saw your post. Why did you have the blood work done? Have you not been feeling well? I am so sorry that I did not know. I wish I could help you and know what the numbers mean. What did the doctor say about the results?
