Is it normal for RBC and Hemogloblin to drop so much after one week.
RBC was 3.95 mil/uL now its 2.8 mil/uL. Hemo was 13.8 now down to 9.9.
First week was pretty uneventful. The Riba makes me feel hyper. During the day that's not a bad thing, its better than feeling tired all day. I take my night dose at 6, still can't fall asleep until 3 AM or so. Then I have to get up at 6 to get my kids ready for school. I took my first shot Monday night, didn't really feel anything as far as sides until Wed. Since then I've had a low grade fever and very painful leg, hip, and low back pain, to the point that it hurts to walk.
I have another set of labs set for tomorrow that my GI ordered after getting these results on Friday. I'm hoping my numbers go up, but doc says they'll probably be lower or about the same.
Thanks!!
