My haemoglobin is now fine (not anaemic any more) and I have the right number of red blood cells. However, the cells are slightly too small so each cell doesn't have enough haemoglobin in. Any idea how/why this happens? All my other results were normal except ESR was 25, and it should be less than 20. Oh, they didn't check ferritin on this set. Though I'm guessing as my haemoglobin has come up the ferritin has too.
 
So my ferritin might still be low even though my haemoglobin has improved? Thanks! Guess I'll have to wait for Friday's labs to come back (since my gp ordered a ferritin test).
 
Ya, I used to be really low on iron but wasn't quite anaemic when I was really sick so they had me take iron supplements which did help.
