Been seeing a Hematologist for a few years because my white blood count is elevated it has not gone done to normal the whole time i have been seeing him.
He has blammed it on many things like!
1. Anemia...which was corrected when i got iron infusions right now i am not anemiac.
2. Medications..A steriod for my lungs, which i am no longer on.
3. Allergies..I now take meds and shots for allergies
4. Stress..I don't feel i am under much stress.
5. Infection...I have been tested by 12 doctors for every single thing you can think of and show no sign of any infections.
My last visit which was last week my wbc was 17. and he blammed it on stress from the holidays. My wbc has not gone down and it worries me he has not done 1 test to see if i have cancer because it runs in my family.
Well, i went for a second opinion and the doctor said since i am already seeing another doctor he feels there is nothing he can do for me. He trusts my doctors opinions. I suffer from chronic pain, severe nausea and just want to give up sometimes. I feel noone listens to the pain i have and have people telling me i my sickness is in my head.
Has anyone else been thru this?
My wbc usually stays 15 to 22
