I've been noticing bruises on my legs over the past couple of years, and the strange thing is that I haven't had any injuries or wounds. I'm curious as to why this might be happening. Could there be an underlying issue, or is it something common?

I'm concerned about my mom, who's been on Orofer XT for the past year. She's 68, and her hemoglobin is at 9.3, but everything else in her CBC is fine, and her sugar levels are controlled. Should she keep taking the Orofer XT, or is it time to stop?

It is better to stop the medication , Advised complete blood count and physician review.

I'm a bit worried because my recent blood test showed that I have mild eosinophilia, and my monocytes count is right at the upper limits. Here are some more details: Neutrophils are at 47, lymphocytes are 33, eosinophils are 9, monocytes are 10, and basophils are 1. The absolute counts are 4400 for neutrophils, 3000 for lymphocytes, 900 for eosinophils, and 1000 for monocytes. Also, my platelet count is 269,000. Could you help me understand what this might mean for my health? Should I be concerned about these levels?

I'm a bit worried because I did a CBC recently and found my monocyte level is at 13, though my WBC count is at a normal 7000. I stumbled upon some discussions online saying that high monocytes can be linked to cancer, and now I'm pretty anxious about it. I also made a mistake in an earlier message where I said my WBC count was 4200, and I'm not sure how to correct that. Do I have any reason to be seriously concerned here?
