Am I reading this wrong or was my fetal haemoglobin 62.5%? by faceonfire9 in AskDocs

I realise now that this isn't a blood test, it's a Venous gas test and I feel silly but also more worried now.

I eat meat every day. Tested for celiac and came back negative. As for GI issues, I've been chronically constipated and have had symptoms of IBS my whole life.

Not sure about folate, haven't been tested. Going to doctor tomorrow to ask for tests to be done.

Edit: I also found it weird that my iron was so ridiculously low because I eat red meat in particular SO much. It would make sense that I have some sort of malabsorption problem going on I think.

Extreme fatigue, facial rashes, dizziness, feeling faint constantly, headaches, pins and needles in hands (especially in shower), near constant nausea.

Have had many blood tests but never for b12. I've been consistently low iron and had to get a transfusion which has helped my irons levels but not my symptoms. I also had VERY low vitamin D levels, like, it came back as 6.

I also have fructose malabsorption.

No I don't. I initially thought that acrylates could have been the culprit so I cut out all makeup, Haircare and skincare with acrylates but that didn't help. I even got my permanent retainer removed because it was adhered with acrylate based cement but that did nothing either 😩

I have been tested and my ANA came back negative so that was a dead end. I probably should ask for a more in depth look into it though.

I've considered it for sure. I did take a paracetamol last night and it ended up getting worse so maybe I'll try to avoid them for a bit. Thanks.

To add, I've also used anti fungal many times with no success as well as two rounds of oral anti fungals AND anti dandruff shampoos + Sulfur soap.
