So, it seems like I am perfectly healthy physically. There is still one more test result to get back though.
My vitamin D supplementation is working. I didn't know my vitamin D levels before, but I just assumed it was low because I don't drink milk or get much sunlight. I was right. They were low previously, but now they are normal. I was afraid of getting into the toxic level, but I have nothing to fear. My vitamin D is 119 and normal range is 76-250.
Does anyone know what RBC Indices MCH means? I got 32 and normal is 27-32 pg.
My ferritin is also 62 and normal is 80-300. I should take some iron because I read that under 70 can lead to hair loss and I am trying to make my hair as healthy as possible. It looks like I have some leeway here so supplementation is in order I think.
Other than that, every single thing was in the middle of the normal range.
I just have to get my mental issues under control.

When the amount is lower than normal it is most likely a iron deficiency especially in woman, if the amount is higher than normal it is a so called hyperchrome anemia.
