I had the flu back in Jan. When I went in for blood tests it showed I was very anemic. I have been taking a multi, iron, vit C, B6, and B12 supplements.I just had another series of tests 4 weeks after the first set and my iron levels are back to normal. However there are 3 things that are still not right:
RBC, Auto it's 4.51 ( normal is 4.7-6.10 )
HCB 13.1 ( normal is 14-18% )
Hematocrit 38.7 ( normal is 42-52% )
My question is how do I get these levels up? Is there something I should be taking but not? I read Folic Acid helps in red blood cell growth. Or do these 3 things just take longer to rebound. I'd appreciate any and all input. I want to start traing hard again but can't till i get this sorted out. Many thanks again.
