I don't see why you're stressing over these results. We're talking actual basophilia when those levels hit above 0.2x10*9/L, and those heavy diagnoses you're worried about usually involve numbers much higher than that, like 0.5x10*9/L or more. Your report just shows a slight uptick in basophils and monocytes, which is probably just a reactive or temporary thing. I guess there isn't really any reason to panic right now.

Thanks so much for the reply... My primary care doctor told me pretty much the exact same thing just a bit ago. Best of luck to you!

Hi everyone,

I just got some blood work back from a routine checkup I decided to get done, mostly because I haven't really needed to see a doctor in a few years.

Are high basophil counts actually alarming for someone young, healthy, at a normal weight, a non-smoker, and living a pretty decent lifestyle? I have an appointment with my primary care physician next week, but you know what happens when you type "basophilia" into Google 🤦

It’s making me panic a little.

Thanks in advance!!

Here’s a look at my lower half. I’m pretty happy with my legs, even if they aren't exactly long 🙂
Now, the goal is the glutes. I want some actual muscle back there—just a solid, healthy mass. Wish me luck 🙂
(Clumsiness is basically my middle name. I managed to break my thumb while out for a run, so yeah, it was bad. Now I guess I just have nothing to do but squat until it heals)

Criticism noted. Mod, could you please merge this photo into the previous post? Thanks 🙂

This is pretty much my standard soup base, though I swap out the asparagus depending on the season—maybe using tomatoes, broccoli, zucchini, cucumbers, or leeks instead.

What you'll need:

A splash of olive oil
1 onion
2-3 medium potatoes
1 small bunch of wild asparagus

Chop the onion and sauté it in a bit of olive oil until it’s golden. Toss in some diced potatoes and enough water to cover, then let that simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes before adding the asparagus (just use the tender top parts). Once everything is soft, just blend it all up with an immersion blender.
I usually just toss in some seasonings once everything starts cooking; I typically just throw in a vegetable bouillon cube and call it a day.

If the bitterness of the asparagus bothers you, I guess you could quickly boil them separately and drain them before adding them to the soup.

So, here's one clone trying to prove they actually do something with their life besides bickering on internet forums (or at least attempting to). 😁
I mean, I’ve never really been into training or anything, though I guess a little physical activity wouldn't hurt. I have been eating healthy for a pretty long time, though.
I actually started doing some bodyweight exercises a few days ago, so here’s what I look like at the starting line. 🙂
