My hemolytic anemia was discovered thru my usual comprehensive blood test I got every year at Mayo R.i has been having a lot of fatigue and hemoglobin and hematocrit were quite low. At fist I heard it called Mast Cell disease. Then hemolytic anemia. The effect was to lower my oxygen saturation down to 83 and 84 when normal should be 98-99 percent saturation of O2 in my blood. As I understand it, my rbc’s were being dispatched by bone marrow to try to compensate for low oxygen saturation. The problem was the rbc’s were immature and not carrying enough oxygen. I was put on oxygen for awhile and saw local hematologist. Eventually, after I got my ostomies, my saturation of oxygen is now 98. I had unusual problems prior to the ostomies , very serious and causing all sorts of bizarre and serious complications.
Hi I just sent another post rather than a direct response. This is my first time using this.
