I got my blood test results. And the red blood count ones are still high. I was wondering if they would go down at all. So it looks like I'll for sure be starting phlebotomy on Thursday. My kidney function was also high as usual My gluocse was 108 which my mom said wasn't bad. Something called alkaline phosphatase was high. I googled it and it says it could possibly indicate an infection in my liver or my gallbladder. I know I've been having some pain mainly in my right side which I just assumed was pain from getting off my testosterone. My right side hurts pretty badly right now though so I'm not sure. I just read my results online. I didn't talk to anyone. If my doctor calls then I'll ask her if the blood level and pain are related and if I should be concerned. In her notes she called me "withdrawn" but a pleasent patient. Now I'm waiting to get a phone call about the blood results, if they will do that, or a message from my endocrinologist saying when I can go back on my testosterone. I feel anxious today and I have that pain but I'm glad theres legit reasons to why I'm feeling like this and that I'm not just going off the deep end.

I guess my red blood count levels are higher then they were before. I don't get why they would be higher if the testosterone was the issue and I've been off that for over 3 weeks. Kinda freaks me out a bit. My mom says not to worry about it but she doesn't know why either. I always say I want to die before my mom or die then live through war but then when I think I'm dying I freak out about that just as much as the other stuff.
