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.

Hi. Reading your question I would say you need to talk with your doctor or get a new one that really satisfy all your doubts. The hematuria needs to be checked and I'm sure they need to rule out more test to be sure there is nothing wrong with you. Being worried about your health doesn't make you a hypochondriac. If you worry without reason... that would be another issue... You need to see a doctor to clarify everything and then you can relax knowing you are healthy!!!

worrying isn't going to help anything or change anything, don't worry until you have something definite to go on.
