Recent blood test advice please

5 Replies

Hi and sorry I know this has been asked but I can’t find the pathology links - I’ve just had private blood test results.

ANA positive, was in January when had GBS and was 6 years ago too with symptoms.

Anti Ss A 2.48 so positive? And was before too.

Various others indicated high red blood cell and lymph - maybe B12 involvement there??

High BP , short of breath , fatigue , joint pain main current symptoms

Goodness knows when will get initial rheumatologist appointment?!

Thank you all xx

Scho12 hi I don't know too much about these blood test results but have you actually had your b 12 level checked?

in reply to Muff20

Hi no I will get it now though. The red elements are high and lymph low, mono high which I think indicates low immunity.

It’s shortness of breath high BP and fatigue worst and calf muscle pain when walking any distance- they will be the red blood cells I suppose.

Thank you - yes it needs checking - I have no medications at all

Xx

Scho12 as a b12 sufferer (goes hand in hand with the thyroid and celiac problems) it's really important you get the actual b 12 results. Like with everything the Drs will tell you it's ok right down to about 200 but it is known that some people have issues once the levels get down to 350. Another battle to have with drs. When mine got down 250 I couldn't stand up! If it's in combination with other conditions the effects are devastating and as with many if our health problems, it's not recognised.

Hi scho12, I have had the calf muscle pain before it turned out to be narrowing of main artery to leg causing a restricted oxygen supply to the muscles in lower leg i had to have a stent fitted and was fine after that.
