HEALTH QUESTION!
Anons,
Over the Summer I was diagnosed with low blood cell counts from a B12 deficiency that led to anemia, and chronic fatigue which I am still struggling with.
I just got my charts back from some recent blood work, and my B12 was back to high levels, along with my D3, and my Iron.
However, my White Blood Cell count is still low at 3.91, and my Red Blood Cell count is likewise low at 4.29. Since supplementing B12, D3, and Iron for the past two months, these numbers have gone up slightly, but not nearly as quick as I was hoping. Anecdotes suggest recovery can take up to 6-12 months. Do any of y'all have any advice on how to speed up blood cell production aside from what I am already doing?
I'm meeting with my Doc on Wednesday to go over my charts, but I thought I'd ask some Anons in case y'all have any ideas.
Hi Qanaut. May i ask- are you M or F? I have some suggestions (more if you're F.)
Male.
I think the stress of working under the COVID restrictions up north is what put me in this hole in the first place. I didn't realize how much the stress was affecting me until recently.
I am improving, but very slowly!
Okay, good to know this. Men can get too much iron pretty quickly. Meat! Red meat! Beef, lamb. Kabobs, burgers, steaks + jerky. Chlorella + Algazim get you some nice iron. Thiamin + Niacin are both important B vits to get your Bs in sync. "Ferro-tonic" by Daily Manufacturing is a colloidial iron supplement, it's absorbed much faster than normie ones with no constipation. And- hope the covidium doesn't include masking up:/ That'll wreak havok on a guy.
My work place required masking for a straight two years. I was in no position to walk away from my job, so I put up with it. Big mistake! In hindsight, I should have just walked away and let the chips lay where they may.
I've definitely been on a burger kick lately. I've got this Ninja Foodie Grill that makes incredible steaks, and burgers. Nothing like a double bacon cheeseburger! The only problem is moderation! I'm also trying to shed some COVID poundage, and the inability to exercise effectively is making that quite hard.
