Welcome to Connect, @dparker12 I can sure empathize with your frustration when you feel ‘off’ and sensing something isn’t normal with your health. I’m so sorry you’re going through this stressful situation.

Doctors tend to look for trends when studying lab numbers. When you say your blood results are abnormal and changing, which numbers are you talking about? Lymphocytes, red blood counts, hemoglobin?
What type of symptoms are you having?

Are you currently working with a hematologist?

Hi thanks for the reply... RBC count has slowly dropped over the last 9 months ...TIBC& UIBC are both high...positive ANA... H&H are both 1 number from being abnormal but 9 months ago were much higher in the normal range . Protein is a little low in labs .... I hurt from head to toe and this hit out of nowhere. My husband and I hike, canoe we are very active and since this hit I'm down for the count . Falling asleep and don't realize it. Wake up covered in sweat. Loss of appetite. They won't send me to hematology yet because they say labs aren't abnormal enough yet. I can feel some lymph nodes in my arm pits and I've had one removed subclavicular.

Had more labs mo day TIBC is now 630... up from 494...transferrin.. high at 477.. cut off is 340..... I hurt feom head to toe... exhausted.... sweating... no appetite... some swollen nodes ...
