So it being week 12, I had to have blood work done....4 vials of my mixed up blood....at least it is still red! I figured it would be glowing by now. The different blood tests tells the story of how healthy you are, they don't always match.
This is my story this time:
The platelets are a little low (51) but not so low that we need to make any changes. The hemoglobin (red cells) are getting low (10.2). When they get below 10, we sometimes add another drug which is injected every 2-4 weeks to boost the red blood cells. This can help with fatigue.( well yeah!! thats kool) I would need to get my red cells (a CBC - complete blood count) rechecked in 2 weeks . I actually do try and keep up with all the numbers and sort them through. Its all part of the diseases . Have to be one step ahead.
