Anemia and Different Blood Test Results Help
I have been taking iron for anemia for some time. My latest CBC had some different test results on it. I researched and they relate to different shapes of red blood cells. I just wonder if they mean anything as relating to the anemia. Here are the findings - Anisocytosis1+ Polychromasia1+ Hypochromia1

Nalcrom (sodium cromoglicate) Availability
Hi, Does anyone know what the latest information is on the availability of Nalcrom (sodium cromoglicate)? Our daughter has just been prescribed it for the first time, and despite what it says on the website I am being met with “Nalcrom has been discontinued and sodium cromoglicate is out of stock.”

Update with Nephrology, Losartan discontinued from my treatment plan
To give an update for today, I talked with Nephrology and losartan was discontinued for now. I was told that hypoglycemia was a rare side effect of the medication so they would like for me to repeat labs in 2-4 weeks. As for my kidney function decreasing, I was told that the increase in BUN and Creatinine

Some food questions.
It's slow going but I'm heading to a vegetarian eating experience. I'm finding it hard to figure out where I should start, protein, potassium or sodium, not to mention calories or carbs. I spill protein, potassium has been way to high at times and I have a lot of edema (currently on a diuretics)

Low iron and ferritin levels?
I have low iron. My HB is 9 and my ferritin levels are just 4. I also have many vitamin b12 and folate deficiency symptoms but my GP says my levels are fine and within the normal range. Vit b12 is 319 (range on the report was 197-771) and Folate is 5.9. Does anyone know if these deficiencies all go hand

Dipyridamole update
I have been on 100mg x2, one at about 4pm and one closer to 8pm. It is recommended to take Dipyridamole on an empty stomach. This is still lower than the effective dosage in the study and I intend to increase it. I have cut pregabalin from 300mg to 150mg. My goal is to cut it again when the 150mg

Can anyone help me with hair loss?
The picture is from a hair wash this morning. It comes out in little clumps each time I rinse my hair. I have hypothyroidism and had my thyroid out 8 years ago. I take thyroxine 150mcg and have blood tests every 6 months to check my levels. I've been given ferrous sulphate 200mg and take this every day
