Three years ago, I had a CBC: WBC 3.9 (lymph 46%), hemoglobin 13.0 and hematocrit 36.0%. Only WBC and hematocrit were outside of the normal range, though not by much. I had this test done b/c I skipped 8-9 periods (no other illness, medication, eating disorder, excessive exercise, or undue stress). Even 2 months of progesterone therapy did not work, though it eventually came back on its own.
Now my new doc says I'm slightly anemic. He did a test on my serum and told me to take 1 iron pill a day. I've been taking them for about a month and haven't really felt any difference (I get randomly depleted, though I can still run long distance). I'm going back for more blood tests in a few months.
Also, my neck is usually a little tender. I don't mean to sound like a hypochondriac...
P.S. I had an abnormal liver function test a few months ago; ultrasound normal. Going to repeat that, also. I have microscopic hematuria which they will also check.
