Yet another blood test this morning 🙄
And I was given my latest test results:
I’ve been a bit worried, recently, about my haemoglobin things in general, and RDW in particular.
I haven’t mentioned it here before, in case it caused any worries.
RDW is a measure of the uniformity of red blood cells. The bigger the number, the less uniform they are – and that’s not good news.
Here’s a graph of the changes in my RDW and Platelets, over the last three weeks. (Platelets help you stop bleeding)
Red Blood Cells and Platelets are formed from Stem Cells 😬
This shows that my RDW has increased, and my Platelets have decreased over the last three weeks. This is not ideal.
Because of this, I checked with my consultant, last week … and he said: THERE’S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT !!! 😊😊 ok
SO … I’m not going to worry about it – and nor should anyone else!
