Wow!

Thank you for your thoughts. They have gotten me thinking, and I hit upon something that really may make sense! Megaloblastic anemia! It would explain the low RBC (and retic, found the one time it was tested, after I asked it to be added), along with the other abnormalities. Although low folic acid can cause it, I'm thinking that, at the same time , inability to convert folic acid (my *elevated* level) would result in the same symptoms. I searched this site but really didn't find much on this diagnosis. But at least now I have questions to ask the doc. And no, she didn't measure my iron (unless that's hemoglobin?).
