Hey there. I just picked up my blood work results, and honestly, they don't look great to me. I'm not an expert by any means, and my nurse wouldn't even go over them with me—she just told me to come back next week for a follow-up. Now I'm sitting here spiraling a bit, just looking for some perspective because the anxiety is starting to kick in.
Here’s what the report shows:
Hepatitis B surface antibody... negative
Hepatitis B surface antigen... negative
Hepatitis B core IgM... negative
Hepatitis B surface antibody... 14 mIU/mL positive (this part is worrying me)
Hepatitis B e-antibody... negative
Hepatitis B e-antigen... negative
Hepatitis C antibody... negative
Cytomegalovirus... IgM... negative
.........................................IgG... 1: 17,916 positive
Epstein-Barr virus... IgM... negative
........................................ IgG... 199 IU/mL positive
That's the lot. I'm really hoping this isn't anything serious.
