For a bit of background: I hate going to the doctors, and this has been compounded by a bit of depression after my father died last year (he was diagnosed with chronic leukemia a few years ago, but it changed to the more aggressive type). So I tend to avoid it unless absolutely necessary.
Last year I started to feel ‘odd’. Tired and cold all the time, not being able to eat as much as usual, just a general malaise. DH persuaded me to at least get a blood test so I did one in November 24, everything came back normal except my white blood cells and iron levels. Medichecks suggested I did another test so I did one last week. The nurse struggled to get enough blood at the draw, so is coming back again in a few days as they couldn’t test my iron status. They did manage to do the blood count, and something is off again with my white and red blood cells this time.
I know I should probably go to go but want to wait for the iron results first, DH thinks I should go sooner. Could there be a completely innocent explanation for these results?
