I've noticed that my body temperature rises in the evening for an hour or so, then goes back to normal. It's not really a fever, just higher than it should be. I recently found out I have Microcytic anemia. Could there be a connection between the two? I could really use some guidance.

Elevated body temperature in the evening could be related to your Microcytic anemia. It is known that anemia can sometimes lead to a low-grade fever or increased body temperature. I recommend taking a fever reducer like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg as needed to help with the elevated temperature. However, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

View allMy arm's been hurting since I got blood drawn three times for some tests on January 25th. There's a bit of redness on my skin too. It seemed to be getting better, but I played squash today, and now the pain's back. Can you suggest what I should do?
It seems like your arm might be experiencing irritation or inflammation from the multiple blood draws. I recommend applying a cold compress to reduce swelling and taking over-the-counter pain relief, such as ibuprofen, to alleviate discomfort. If the redness or pain worsens, or if you notice swelling, it would be best to consult your doctor for further evaluation.

I recently got my blood test results and I'm a bit concerned about a few things that came up. The report shows that my PDW (platelet distribution width) is 18.9fl, which is 3.7 points above the normal range. My MPV (mean platelet volume) is also 1.5 points higher than it should be, and the PLCR (platelet to large cell ratio) is elevated by 11.5 points. But the MCV (mean corpuscular volume) seems to be normal. Could you help me understand what these high numbers mean? Is this something I should be worried about?

Can I get a tattoo on my arm if I have G6PD deficiency? I'm worried because tattoo ink has isopropyl in it. Does that affect people with my condition? I'm hoping to get some guidance on whether it's safe or not.
Having G6PD deficiency means you have a genetic condition that affects the red blood cells. Isopropyl alcohol is commonly found in tattoo ink and products. While there is limited information on the direct effects of isopropyl alcohol on individuals with G6PD deficiency, it is generally recommended to avoid substances that may trigger a hemolytic crisis. To be safe, it is best to choose tattoo ink that does not contain isopropyl alcohol. You can consult with your healthcare provider for further guidance on safe tattooing options.
