Blood Work Back-Levels Raised

[mom5272]

First of all, I take 100mg of 6mp and have been in a flare for a couple weeks. Got my lab results back and basically the following are high:

White blood Cells 14.7
Red Blood Cells 5.24
Hemoglobin 15.7
Hematocrit 48.3
Absolute Neutrophils 11010
Absolute Monocytes 1000
ALT 33

So of course, I googled and think I'm dying. Who can relate? I have a new GI appointment tomorrow and i'm super excited because he has excellent reviews. My appointment last Friday with a new GI I chose sucked.. he was awful so I found someone else. Lord give me strength!

Hi. The doctor might want to cut back on the level of 6 mp that you are taking. I could be wrong. Talk with the doctor. Good luck with the new GI.

The ALT I wouldn't be too concerned about. In fact my lab considers under 50 normal but obviously your lab has a different cut off. Either way it's not crazy high. The rest seem high by again not crazy high ( though I'm only really knowledgable on hemoglobin, and white blood cells.)

Good luck with your new doc!

I haven't had "normal" bloodwork in four years. I get my results and google every thing possible, ha. I get it!
