Hello all,

I've been away for a while getting a new pc together and trying to get through all the PT and pain management specialists that I'm seeing. Very busy.

Anyway, can anyone tell me (other than the typical internet info.) what a high MCV,MCH, and low RBC count might mean? I am not drinking alcohol to excess but I am on several medications for pain. I have a Medicaid doctor so for those of you who have experienced this sadly unfortunate lack of care you will understand why I have to ask you guys and gals. This quackster couldn't care less about it and never addresses the bloodwork even when I question him. All he wants is to milk the system. He even wanted $75.00 from me when I asked for a copy of my medical records. I don't know about any of you but when a person is on Medicaid it stands to reason that they don't have $75.00 lying around for a copy of about a dozen sheets of paper. Really, really sad.

Well, thanks for reading and I hope that you can help with some answers that may lead me to a source of info. that could help.

Carollea

These levels are related to your red blood cells size and count. Out-of-range levels, both high and low, are almost always indications of anemia. Depending on the levels, you can usually bring them into range by the use of vitamin supplements such as folic acid and B-12.
