My 13 years old daughter has had a low grade fever for 2 months now. Two blood tests and one trip to the emergency room. Many trips to the GP. One trip to a Immunologist.. Her WBC is 3.1 and she has anemia. Her sedimentation rate his also high. She had strep in the middle of all this. Her trip to the emergency room was because she had pains in the stomach like appendix. That turned out negative. Next week she is going to the Hematologist. She has no red shots on the skin and no enlarged lymph nodes. She has complained about pain in her leg and hip.

This is driving me crazy. It occupies my mind every minute of the day. When I was in high school my brother died of leukemia. Can I go through this twice. People are saying I am jumping to conculsions to soon. Thanks for listening....

I know that you are terribly worried, but so far you are describing symptoms of an autoimmune disease and 3.1 on white cell counts is not too low if they are all doing the job.!

Thanks Merimac. If we survive the Hematologist Wednesday the next doctor scheduled is a Infectious Disease specialist. We already went to a pediatric Immunologist. The things that have me worried is that she has had this low grade fever for two months. Less than 101 degrees. She also gets pains in her leg once in awhile. The appendix problem also could have been a spleen problem. Her ANA also came back negative. They ruled out Lupus. She has been checked for Valley Fever and it came back negative. Mono also came back negative. As I said before this happened to my brother when I was growing up. Thank You
