I have a high white blood cell count in combination with enlarge red blood cells. I can find information on high white count and enlarged red blood cell separately. I can not get the information on combination of both. I see a Hematologist/Oncologist tomorrow. I need to be prepared if I am going to labeled an alcoholic. Can you give me any more information so I can be prepared?

Hi!
I am sorry to hear about your medical problems. Well, there is not much clinical difference between 36.5 and 36.8.
Your symptoms could be due to eating disorders, IBS, Crohn’s, anemia, vit B12 deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, lung problems, chronic infections, autoimmune disease etc.
You will need some tests to look into this. Please consult your doctor regarding this. Take care!

The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history. Hence this reply to your post should only be considered as a guiding line and you must consult your doctor at the earliest for your medical problem.
