Has anyone else had macrocytic anemia with a high B12?. My platelets are low as well. I've googled it quiet a bit and the results aren't great. Has anyone experienced this as a result of taking Amuran?

Bloodless, I just found out I have the exact same problem.  My primary is referring me to a hematologist.  Very interested in the responses you get!

Well, looks like not many people get this. I've developed low white blood cells now. I'm wondering if the macrocytic anemia is causing my sed rate to be so high. The past few months I've run from 100 to 110. CRP has been 6.6 to 15. From what I've read immature blood cells are larger than mature ones.

Huh. I had low platelets on my latest bloodwork and high B12. What causes this? I do not have a high sed rate. My primary didn't say anything about my bloodwork.
