Hello again.
First of all, I want to wish everyone a happy Easter!
I went to get some blood work done and found out some of the results already. But, I don't know if anyone has heard of this before. I was found to have a high platelet count. Has anyone had that? Also, a very high eosinophil count (EOS). The high end normal range is 0.06, and I had 0.17. My sedimentation rate is high. Normals here in Canada are 2-20, and mine was 42. I haven't recieved the results for the other blood tests yet. ANA, RH factor and so on. I was just wondering what the platelet count and eosinophil count was. Has anyone had that?
Also, I went for x-rays of my knees and ankle. They took 24 x-rays! I was able to go back and see them while the technician looked to see if she has to do any over again. I have to say... to me, the x-rays looked really good! It was so neat to see though. Everything is digital now. No films used. They showed me everything since I told them I was going into nuclear medicine tech next year. Anyway, I am off topic. Any info on the blood tests would be appreciated. I could sleep better if I knew others here had these tests done. I have researched the net, but was interested in your point of views.
I had extremely high sedementation rate on my tests. My ana and Rh were also through the roof. I was in an extreme flare with no treatment for over two months. As soon as I got medication, I responded right away. I don't know how to read the numbers exactly, but I looked it up online. You can do searches through google and read what normal rates are. Some use different number systems, so just be wary of what you read.
