What could be causing my mom's B12 levels to be so high? Her B12 is at 1200, and she hasn't been taking any supplements, so I'm really puzzled.

I'm kind of freaking out because I've been getting these petechiae spots on my thighs for a couple of months now. I've been looking it up and it keeps linking back to leukemia, which is super scary. Plus, my gums have been bleeding whenever I brush my teeth for a few months too. I did some blood work between noticing the gum bleeding and the petechiae and it came back normal. Could this still be leukemia even if the blood work was okay?

It's understandable to be concerned, but if your blood work was normal, it's less likely to be leukemia. Petechiae and bleeding gums can be caused by several factors, including vitamin deficiencies or gum issues. If the symptoms persist or worsen, its a good idea to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.

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?

take tab inderal 10 mg for another 6 months and then stop gradually..

I'm looking at my blood test results and it mentions something about normocytic normochromic RBCs. I'm a bit confused about what that really means for my health. Could you help me understand the potential causes behind this and what impact it might have on me?
