[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 159721, member: 15832"] Your labs are indicating iron deficiency, when one has iron deficiency your immune system is weakened and may help explain your elevated white cell count. Your vitamin D is low and wouldn't be surprised if you were having IBS symptoms, this is dejavoo for me because I had unexplained fatigue for over a year on TRT which I later found out was iron deficiency. In April I had the same MCHC and MCH numbers right before things went south, vitamin D was low, my potassium and vitamin C were also low. When an iron and ferritin panel was run, both were below range. When I looked back almost 3 year earlier, iron was at the bottom of the range. Your hemoglobin should be higher on TRT, it is low and you more than likely have microcytic anemia. I need to see vitamin C levels, vitamin C is responsible for iron absorption, so if vitamin C is low, iron will also be low, so supplementing iron could be the wrong move as I found out the hard way. Symptoms of iron deficiency, microcytic anemia are: [LIST] [*]Fatigue and chronic tiredness [*]Shortness of breath [*]Pale skin [*]Easy bruising [*]Dizziness [*]Weakness [*]Loss of stamina [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
