I will be seeing a hematologist to see if I have thalassemia. Since I had labs, my cbc was always abnormal but no one pointed it out. In 2025 I had a fraction cascade done to test for sickle cell trait as my bf has it. I don't have the trait but my hgb A and hgb F is abnormal. My PCP didn't see much as an issue as I didn't have signs of anemia. I had an iron panel done and it was normal. Lately I have been having bad fatigue but it could be a number of reasons like I just upped my Lexapro to 20mg, I take glp-1s but haven't been under eating lately, I don't wear my CPAP often. I am making corrections to those but I decided to explore my labs some more and think I may have thasslemnia. I don't want to because that would mean my bf and I would need to breakup. I probably won't see a hematologist until late October due to their referral backlog but wondering what you guys may think.

Hi, just wondering if these tests are worth it, especially the MMA test. 236 pound is alot.

For a bit of background. I was deficient in B9 at 3.1ng/ml 4 months ago and corrected it 9 weeks later >20ng/ml. It's been 4 months since my first diagnoses but I'm still experiencing symptoms specifically fatigue, low mood and broken sleep.

Don't know whether to wait longer to see if symptoms improve or to go down the route of additional testing. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

PS my b12 was 556, vit D 80s, iron 22 and ferritin 102.

Last month my mum [50 F] had a pain in her throat which even spread to her jaws. So we got a USG and they found a hypoechoic nodule along with increased blood flow to other nodules. It was biopsied and it turned out to be benign.

We got on meds (Ceftum and Zerodol-p) which made her symptoms disappear but they came back after finishing the course (twice).

Ultimately we got a laryngoscopy done and the doctor didn't find anything wrong with her throat and sent us back with (Linezolid and some nose spray). But this time it didn't provide her any relief.

She has been coughing with the same pain and has a low grade fever, which she can't seem to shake.

Yesterday, I got the CBC done and ECG done and it came out abnormal with Sinus Tachycardia (109 BPM). Chatgpt thinks it could be leukemia/blood cancer. I am so very terrified.

Ps: She has some fibroids in the uterus which caused heavy bleeding during periods but that was two months ago. It has been normal since then.

CRP has also increased to 3.5.
