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 In her notes she called me "withdrawn" but a pleasent patient.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.

Just a possibility and I don’t know if it’s even really logical coz u had a hysterectomy but maybe…. I’m on meds to stop periods so I obviously don’t bleed and therefore my blood count just keeps going up and up and is the highest it’s ever been even though I’m not doing anything or taking anything or eating anything to make it go up. Maybe your body is still working that way even though you don’t have those parts? And coz you’re not losing blood anymore something in your system is making it go up? Just a thought anyway.
Thanks for this!
