I sent my most recent labs in 3 pictures. Thank you so much for your response.
Brief Answer:
Thanks for these images!
Detailed Answer:
H,
I have reviewed the attached results fully. I will state that you need a differential white blood count as the absolute number tells us nothing about the possible cause of the increased WBC. Also, it will be very nice to do a blood smear to look at the different cells under the microscope.
Please, your blood lipids are not the best. Talk to your doctor about getting this addressed.
I wish you well and keep me posted.

Just received results from blood work which was done Monday, May2nd. Doctor tested vitamin B12 and Folate. My B12 was very high: 1497 pg/ml and Folate was 16.1 ng/ml. Everything I read regarding high WBC and vitamin B12 talks about cancer or hepatitis. Physically I have suffered migraines and night sweats as well as body pains---I have attributed these symptoms to pre-menopause as I am 45. These results have me thinking negatively.
Brief Answer:
Will not root for cancer at this time!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I will not go for cancers at this time. Most common cause of high VitB12 is excess consumption. I will suggest that you stay calm and let’s see whether other more defining symptoms add to help us make a definitive call. At this time, m not convinced there is cancer o be looked into.
Be relax and keep me posted if anything else comes up.
