View allI'm really concerned about these red pin prick spots that have appeared under my skin on my legs, and on each leg, there's a big purple and yellow bruise. I also noticed some tiny patches of these pin pricks on my fingers. Plus, I've had a headache on and off for the last two days. Could this be something serious? What should I do?

I'm really concerned about my recent test results and hoping you can help me make sense of them. I got a 1g Jilazo injection back in May when my ferritin was 14 ngml, total iron was 80 mcgdL, TIBC was 339 mcgdL, and Hb was 9.7 gdL. I've got beta thalassemia trait and was told to take Folvite and Quicobal 1500 mcg. When I got tested again in August, my Hb dropped to 9.3, TIBC was 242 mcgdL when it normally should be between 265 and 297, total iron was down to 70 mcgdL, and ferritin had jumped to 280 ngmL, way higher than the normal 13 to 150 ngdL range. I'm worried if the high ferritin and low TIBC are because of the Jilazo injection, and I'm trying to understand why my Hb and iron levels have decreased. Does high ferritin mean something bad, and should I be concerned since I also have Acidic GERD and Grade A Esophagitis? Would love your thoughts.

I'm a 22-year-old female and recently got my blood work done. My lymphocyte count is 45.7, MCH is 32.1pg, and my absolute basophils are at 6.5cmm. I haven't had any illnesses or infections in the past, but these numbers seem a bit off. Should I be concerned or do anything specific about these abnormal blood counts?
While your lymphocyte and basophil counts are slightly elevated, this may not necessarily indicate a serious issue, especially without symptoms. The best course of action is to consult your healthcare provider to discuss your lab results and get a clearer understanding of what might be happening. Your doctor may want to track these values over time or perform additional tests to rule out any underlying conditions.
