I'm worried about my mom. She recently had a procedure for a blockage in her left hand and she's been prescribed acitrome as a blood thinner. Her periods are really heavy though, and the doctor suggested using sevista to help stop the bleeding temporarily. Can she really take sevista with acitrome? I'm a bit anxious about mixing the two medications. What should we watch out for?

View allI'm looking at my blood work results and I have a few concerns. It mentions predominantly normocytic normochromic with ovalocytes, and the platelets seem adequate on the smear. There's a bunch of numbers too: WBC is 8.74, Neutrophils are 59.7, Lymphocytes 34.9, Monocytes 2.5, Eosinophils 2.4, and Basophils 0.2. Then it lists the absolute counts like Neutrophil absolute count at 5.22 and Lymphocyte absolute count at 3.05. My RBC is 5.24 and Haemoglobin is 15.5. Platelet count is 155, with some measurements called PDW at 18.2, MPV at 12.8, and PLCR at 46.1. Is there something here to be cautious about? Do I need any treatment or should I be focusing on anything specific regarding these results? I'm not on any medications at the moment.

I've recently got my blood test results back, and they show a WBC count of 115,000 and a lower lymphocyte count. I've been having constant issues like fever, coughing, and breathing troubles, and occasionally I get stomach issues too. I'm really worriedis this something I should be concerned about, and what do you think might be causing these symptoms?
-It sounds like your body is fighting an infection, as a high WBC count often indicates that. The decreased lymphocytes could suggest a viral or chronic infection. Given your symptoms of fever, cough, and breathing issues, it's important to follow up with

I've been eating a lot of ice from the fridge and even the frost inside the freezer, probably around 2025 times a day. It's like I have a real craving for it. I'm starting to wonder if this could be bad for me. If it is, what should I do to stop wanting freezer frost so much?
Its completely a behavioural issue. You shouldn't be having it so much. So just try to control somehow. Do not keep the ice tray in the freezer. There is no medicine for such things.
