Cause of & treatment for enlarged red blood cells? Fatigue?

  • Posted on November 2, 2010 at 4:32 pm

I’m seeing a doc very soon and want to be armed with all of what I should ask to treat my enlarged red blood cells, which was brought up by my doc’s substitute on my last visit. I would like to finally get to the bottom of why I am often so very tired that I feel as if I can hardly lift my arms, etc – going on 3 yrs. I do not have a family med history because I was adopted, except that a daughter has Juvenile Diabetes and Addison’s disease. I did have Rheumatic Fever. That’s all I know. I’m already taking B12 shots every 2 weeks, I’m vegetarian, and I don’t drink at all. However I have a lot of specific joint pain and so have been taking a lot of Tylenol (Acetaminophen) for decades. I’ve read that enlarged blood cells are associated with alcoholism, and wonder if I could be in the same class – liver damage due to the Acetaminophen = the large red blood cells? What else could it possibly be? Thanks!
