Is it normal for blood work to come back with lots of problems....like low red blood, white blood, sodium, chloride, anemic, and on and on?
Thanks so much,
Sophie 56

Sophie I think that with fibro your bloodwork would be normal. If yours is coming back with low counts on some of those things I would hope your doc would be looking into other problems that may be causing that.

Thanks Glojer, I thought the same but the rhumie just ignored it all even though my GP is
really concerned.

Sophie, I would be taking my bloodtest results to my GP and saying ok what gives. Being low on the blood counts alone is a sign of something, especially if they are low enough. You could just be needing some extra vitamins or you could be having some other autoimmune issues popping up. No matter what end of the scale you are on, it needs to be looked into, in my opinion. Good Luck, keep up posted.
