Any nurses or MDs out there?
I saw my pdoc today and mentioned that all I do in my spare time is sleep, and I have the hardest time getting out of bed. My appetite also has been very low. As we all know, these can be symptoms of an impending depressive episode.
But, I hadn't had any bloodwork done in a while, so he sent me off for some labs. Two of them came back low: platelet count and white cell count. And my thyroid looks a little low, which I have been trying to tell doctors since my frigging TEENS, but they've all just said, "low side of normal, too bad, no meds." Never mind that every female in my immediate family is on meds for low thryoid....sigh.
Anyway, I'm freaking out over here and I need to know if I should be freaked out. Too much Trauma: Life in the ER and things like that for me, LOL. I just want to know if I'm dying or if I just need to take vitamins. If it's relevant, I had arm surgey a couple of weeks ago.
Thanks for any help.
