Re: Re: red blood cells and hyperthyroidism

Thanks BJ. I guess I am stressing myself out. It is frustrating not knowing all the answers. I could easily convince myself I was just dehydrated or whatever except this blood work has been consistent for a few years now and only now I am finally getting somewhere with getting answers.

Steph,I wouldn't put a lot of thought into this right now. Whatever happens - happens, so don't let STRESS over it and let your wild imagination take over. It could be as simple as being dehydrated when the blood was drawn. Please don't dwell on this. In fact, think of joyful things. You'll blow out your Adrenals and be much worse off. Just my experience and two cents, but please don't worry.Happy hormones,~Bj> > >> > > I have a weird question that someone may or may not be able to help me with here. > > > > > > I had a blood smear done because my white blood cell count is low and the results came back showing my WBC is STILL low and my RBC is low also. It also showed that my red blood cells are stacked on top of each other instead of spread apart like they're supposed to be... it's called a rouleou formation. I looked it up online and found this... > > > > > > > > > http://biomedx.com/microscopes/training/LB1.html > > > > > > Anyways, on this link it said that there are some diseases that need to be ruled out... and one of those diseases are hyPERthyroidism. Which is strange to me because I have hyPOthyroidism.... or so I thought... and will soon be treated for that. Now, perhaps I have some other problem but I the hyperthyroidism thing jumped out at me for a sec. I am sure I am worrying for nothing, but I am being referred to an oncologist/hematologist for a serum protein electrophoresis test to rule out other diseases to find out why my rbc is wacky like that and possibly a bone marrow biopsy to find out what is causing the WBC count. Geez. I will be glad when I have the answers that I need. > > > > > > If anyone knows anything about this, I would greatly appreciate it. > > > > > >> >>
