blood test

since i was following my mom for her blood test, i decided to get one done plus taking the booster dose for hep B..i did the full test including hematology,  LFT, RFT, lipid profile, FBS, Hep B Ag n Ab, HIV, plus some additional tests..

and guess what i got from living almost 5 years in india..

surprisingly.. my peripheral smear shows microcytic hypochromic picture with pencil cells..mild leucocytosis n mild thrombocytosis..

in other words i'm having iron deficiency anemia.. we've been learning adolescent girls, reproductive age group women and pregnant ladies were prone for this..and now  me??.. of course i'm also included in the group..but all this while i considered myself to be healthy..i feel healthy..maybe i wasn't eating healthy..

skipping meals..eating whenever i have time..eating ordered food with no vege wutsoever..the only source of protein was from chicken and fish..seriously when i think back on what i eat..i dunno what i ate..

have to take action from now on..must eat iron rich food..which is red meat and liver..in  india red meat means mutton which i don't prefer eating frequently..and liver also not a favourite..maybe i could try cooking in iron utensils like they say in the books..heh..whatever it is i should start cooking my own food now..before september comes..
