I'm looking at my bloodwork from about 3 years ago and hemoglobin plus hematocrit are both listed. Hemoglobin is almost high at 14.6 g/dL when the normal range cuts off at 15 g/dL. Hematocrit is the same. The range cuts out at 44% and mine was 43.7%. I'm not sure if this is the same measurement that you were talking about? No doctor has ever mentioned it as being a problem.

My fam doc did call the other day to get notes on my exact symptoms and I told them I wanted to be tested for folic acid, Vit D and B12 for sure and whatever else they thought necessary. I'm also going to have a biopsy done on my thyroid nodule but honestly, I don't think anything will turn up with that. I will ask about the electrolytes also. I know that antidepressants can cause inhibition of absorption of vitamins and I started taking Lexapro about a year ago. I also used to be vegetarian which I know can hinder vitamin absorption. So I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be something very simple like a vitamin deficiency that is mocking MS.

I am only 23 (well as of this coming wednesday) so the diseases that go along with pre-menopause probably can be ruled out. My mother does have both RA and Lupus which I have asked about but my symptoms are not confined to one side of the body and I have no rashes or anything like that to go along with it.

I went out and bought a BP monitor and check my BP every time I have one of these episodes. Normally it is pretty perfect around 120/75. When I'm having these "blackouts" it goes up to about 135/95 so the bottom number goes up considerably. I'm not sure what that means though?
