[Shelling]

Hi I am on watch & wait and have been feeling really unwell the last few weeks, chronic fatigue can’t stay awake constant really bad headache 24/7 abdominal pain bloating could just be IBS flare up really tender neck had bloods and my Hemoglobin was 125, my white blood cell 8.5 is this ok I don’t understand it at all tried looking online but it’s all gibberish to me I’m afraid they explain in thousands I need to just have it explained in simple terms like is 8.5 normal range. Thank you xx

Hi shelling , hope your ok and feel better soon , I know stress can contribute to IBS symptoms and it's certainly a stressful time in all our life's adding to the normal stress of life .

Your white count is with in normal range usual between 4 to 11 and your HB is also in normal range , usually 115 onwards for females and 130 onwards for males

When is your next appointment with your consultant ?

Hope you feel better soon

Take care
