Full Blood Count

[scooby28]

Sorry if this is in the wrong place I wasn't sure where to put it,
I just wandered if anyone knows what they check for in a blood test when they do a full blood count.

Thank Amy

Thanks I new those ones they seemed to take alot of blood when i went about 3 pots, thought the full blood count maybe checked specific cells like the red and white ones to see if they look normal.

Hi Amy

I have full blood count done every month, just as a precuation because of the drugs I take.

They check everything, pleases me because its like having an MOT and eases my health anxiety.

Why are they doing at? hope you are ok take care

Thanks everyone for your reply's.
I was told I have low B12. I'm having the shots for it, some weeks i feel ok then the next i feel crap, I just worry they have missed something.
I still think I'm stressing about it but the backs of my legs my calves really feel tight most days all day and I have broke out in spots on my face this week which I don't normally get.

This is a very old thread. I don't think you'll get a response from any of the OPs.
