However my General Practictioner found large red blood cells (a lot) and thought I might have B12 deficiency. I am very up and down at the moment as some days I feel dreadful and occasionally I have a good day. Is this remission, and will things resolve or do I need to go and see my consultant. My GP wrote to the consultant three weeks ago and we have still had no answer. She suggests I ring his secretary and ask but I don't know if there is any need to be pushy. Anyone got any advice? I am in the UK but since I have never had remission before I don't know if this is how it starts then stabilises. Heres hoping. Best wishes to all Berry.  |
Did your cell counts just rise by themselves? Did you try another treatment or remedy. I'm interested in knowing what increased your counts. I wish I could answer your question about large red cells but I would ask if you can receive injections. Then again I am not a doctor but I had them once when I was first diagnosed with aplastic anemia.
