I've just got my blood test results back, and my total leukocyte count is showing as 11,600 CellsCumm. Is this within the normal range, or should I be concerned about my white blood cell count being too high?

Question

I'm really concerned about my mom. She had Covid, but thankfully she recovered and tested negative about two weeks ago. However, we've noticed her D Dimer level is now 675mg. Is it normal for blood to become thicker after testing negative for Covid? Also, her CRP level is up to 10. Is there a chance of reinfection, or is this something else I should be worried about?

Question

I've had chronic ITP since I was a kid and my platelets are usually low, like under 20000, but they've been stable at 80000 for a while now. I'm 23 and recently needed amoxicillin for a couple of weeks, which is when I started noticing some random bruising, like one on my thigh that's a few inches long. It's kind of freaking me out because I haven't experienced this in a bit and there are no other symptoms. Should I be worried about this?

Question

I'm really concerned about my dad's D-Dimer levels. They were supposed to stay below 500, but now they've shot up to 900. He was in quarantine for about 25 days and recently discharged from the hospital, but this rise in D-Dimer really worries me. Some doctors say it's normal post-COVID, while others say it's not. He's feeling okay, with no cold, cough, or other COVID symptoms now. What can be done to keep these levels in check? I'm anxious about how to handle this situation.
