Hi, I know I’m probably overreacting. Back in October I had really heavy vaginal bleeding for about 10 weeks after not having a period for a while, and so I was put on two of the POP a day and now am on one a day which has stopped the bleeding. My blood results at the time showed low iron/ red cell count, elevated wbc count including elevated neutrophils and lymphocytes.

Since then I’ve been tired all the time despite getting the right amount of sleep, I’ve felt itchy a lot and had headaches more often. Recently I’ve had more joint/ bone pain especially around my knees and neck. I had more blood tests and they show elevated white blood cells again with elevated neutrophils, as well as low mean cell volume and haemoglobin levels and RDW-CV is above high reference limit. I’ve been taking iron supplements with orange juice, eating foods like raisins and other things to try and bring up my iron but it’s still low.

I’m 24 so I know it’s likely to be something else and not cancer, and I’ve got a phone call appt with my gp in a couple weeks, I was just wondering for any advice/ info as it’s been a few months this has been going on and I’m worried/ getting fed up of feeling like this? Thanks
