If someone's red blood cell count is only borderline normal,

(Tired? But Blood Tests OK? ) 2008

realize that another lab could consider them to be anemic -  Or out of normal range.

 

There is variation in what is considered normal 

for 

 

red blood cell counts

 

... from lab to lab

 

Check your Past Blood info

 

Have lab check red blood cells under a microscope if counts are borderline normal:

 

4.7 or less -for Men 

  4.0 or less -for women

 

Or if  your blood counts are lower than normal for YOU

 

"Labs vary in what they consider normal, based on their subjective evaluation 

of what is normal for their 'population'

Also to a minor degree on the instrumentation they use."

 Hemolytic anemia could begin in 1989, 

from exposure to EVOS chemicals? 

 

 

Check your past medical info

In addition to blood counts, other factors are considered, too

 

Share this with your current doctor - 

or a doctor who will consult with toxicology experts

should you have concern about chemical overexposures

 

Accu-Chem Lab - one of the few in the nation 

which can accurately tests for chemicals residual in a person's system

Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Worker, How do you feel?

 

The information on oil and on the chemicals used during the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill 

Indicate that aplastic anemia is likely 

from the oil... 

 

and that hemolytic anemia is likely 

from the 2-butoxyethanol in 

Inipol EAP 22 (bioremediation experimental chemical) 

and Corexit (experimental chemical).  

 

Maybe it's possible to have both?

 

If you do have one or the other, you could have had it all this time, since your 1989 work; 

if the blood counts are questionable, ask your doctor to check for these.

If you develop other complications, it is likely to be in addition to the anemia, not instead of.

If you find help; please share so others can be helped too!
