Interpret my blood results?

Hi I shall start by saying I don't expect medical advice, just interested if anyone has had similar results and what the outcomes were?

I recently went for blood tests due to feeling exhausted, muscle/body pains, loosing an excessive amount of hair and rashes coming and going on my face.
Have had results back but can't get an appointment to discuss with gp for a couple of weeks and google is sending me down rabbit holes!
A few things have flagged as abormal, these are;

Serum testosterone
2.1 nmol/L
Normal range 0.5-1.9

Erythromycin sedimentation rate
2 mm/hr
Normal range 3-12

GFR calculated abbreviated MDRD
77mL/m/1.73m
Apparently lower than average for my age?

Eosinophil count
0.7 10*9/L
Normal range 0.04-0.50

Also my b12 levels are higher than normal range (884 pg/mL) and serum ferritin/folate are in the lower ranges of Normal.

Any ideas of what any of these mean? Many thanks in advance and I am 31 if it makes any difference.

Did they do haemoglobin? Low ferritin will explain some of the symptoms. Do you have heavy periods?

Gfr is meaningless without knowing a trend really. Yours is perhaps a bit lower than you'd expect but you could live your whole life totally normally with that number.

Also do you take any supplements?

Thank you for reply, yes haemoglobin is within normal range.
No heavy periods either.
I don't currently take any supplements but may look at getting some!
