Hi Andy,
Maybe the reason I have been testing normally in my cbc is because i have been taking supplements. I also had thick-quickly coagulating blood at 16 when I got my blood drawn. My t3 which is the energy producer is low; my doctor has chosen tyrosine instead of going on cortisol which he believes is what would be needed if I dont improve because it is his opinion that my adrenals are "exhausted". I had chronic nosebleeds as a child and migraines. I have never had a strong immune system and I have been trying so hard to feel well and not tired my whole life. I would like to know what supplements you take so I could discuss them this week with my doctor. He is an osteopath and homeopath. I am already taking, vitamin D, mag,b5,b6,fish oil1000 units, inositol, b3, and rhodiola. It has been an uphill battle. Also I was never able to tolerate humidity; in fact I can barely function when it is hot and humid. I feel very ill the tiredness is unbearable and I look ill in that weather. That is why I felt much better when I lived in a temperate climate. Moving back to the East coast has made my condition much worse. The summer here is intolerable. I am chronically dehydrated though I drink water. Please give me as much info as you can so I can enlighten my doctor. I still don't think I have a firm grasp on what exactly is happening to the red blood cells. Thank you. I know there is a lot here but do your best.
