Hb (Haemaglobin) is 13.1 Normal range for females = 11-13.
This means you are not anaemic.
WBC (White Blood Cells) is 7.9 Normal = 4-10. A high count would indicate infection or acute inflammatory conditions.
Your pit is 329; I'm presuming this is plt or platelet count, the normal is 150-400. This indicates you don't have blood clotting disorders.
Na 137 (Sodium); normal is 135-145;
K 4.2 (Potassium); normal is 3.5-5;
U 6.0 (Urea); normal is 8-20;
Cr 65 (Creatinine); normal is 0.5 to 1.1 mg/dl (do you mean 0.65?)
Ca 2.38 (Calcium); normal is 2.1-2.6.
Overall the test results look ok. assuming the creatinine levels are 0.65.
It is the first in a series of tests - the most usual reason to run a blood test like this is to rule out any other possible causes for your symptoms.
If Guillain barre is suspected, or transverse myelitis, then a lumbar puncture may be next on the list, and a nerve conduction test, to see how fast the nerves are carrying their signals. You may also have an MRI to outrule any other causes for numbness - you don't mention whether you have any other symptoms like weakness or bowel or bladder dysfuntion or pain. These will all be taken into account when trying to find the cause of the numbness.
It looks like you may have a bit of a battle ahead, but hopefully all will be well.
Keep posting, we'll be looking out for you. Good luck.

Thyroid disease is one of the most common health problems we face today. From a practical standpoint, there are many ways to approach this issue. Learn here https://tr.im/KIcPh
Hypothyroidism, or underactive thyroid, is a very common problem, and there are many reasons for this, including drinking chlorinated and fluoridated water, and eating brominated flour.
Chlorine, fluoride, and bromine are all in the same family as iodine, and can displace iodine in your thyroid gland.
Secondly, many people simply aren't getting enough iodine in their diet to begin with. The amount you get from iodized salt is just barely enough to prevent you from getting a goiter.

Your blood results are fine. You are not anaemic or dehydrated, your potassium level is fine, your white cell count is fine. Where you say 'pit' does it actually say 'plt' ? This would indicate your platelet count, which is also fine.
