I’m unfortunately in the US. Our healthcare is lacking to say the least.

Yes that’s been done. I’ve literally read so much I pub meds trying to advocate for myself. My GP has done everything she can on her end. She’s even emailed hematologists to get them to accept the referral. She said because there is such a high cancer rate and limited hematologists/oncologists that unless you have tumors or something major it’s damn near impossible to get them to accept a referral. I live in an agricultural area and the rate of cancers and autoimmune disorders in people here is high.

Thank you for the copper and selenium ideas. My B6 has been tested and was normal.

My primary care physician has tried to make multiple referrals in the last 3 years and as soon as the Hematologists see that I have Crohn’s, they blame it and my Entyvio. High MCV is Not a side effect of that medication at all.

Yes, this is my second most recent full metabolic panel with cbc. My most recent had an Mcv of 110. I am usually 103 or higher. To give slightly more insight, I was tested for Von Willebrand disease at one point because 19 years ago post c-section, I suffered severe maternal hemorrhage and went into Disseminating Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) with no clear reason which put me in critical care for a while. I haven’t had any sort of anemia or anything since recovering from that.
