I've posted here before. Here is my previous post.

Ok, heres goes. I'm currently active duty in the Navy. I've been having these problems for about a year now, and doctors can't really diagnose me. Here are my symptoms:
-Burning/Itching/Tingling of the hands and feet, along with swelling
-Burning/Itching of red lesions (not sure if thats what they are or not, but they look like red bumps that are usually not in any particular shape, but are usually about 2-3 inches wide), i get these all over my body.
-Extreme fatigue, it doesn't matter if I get 11,10,9,8 hours of sleep I still feel very tired and weak.

There are quite a few other things that are going on with me, but these symptoms are my main concern.

My doctor ran a whole lot of blood tests on me. The four that I see came back irregular are,

CD56 (NKH-1).......... 5.9 normal results are (7-31)
ABS CD56+............. 81 normal results are (90-600)
FDP .................. Came back High.
D-Dimmer.............. 1.03 normal results are (0.225-0.48)

Anyone know what I can have? My docs seem to be stumpped. There are other tests with other high levels in other tests, but this is the most recent one, and it was going on when i was having an attack. Please, please help me.

I had a high D dimer before,That usually indicates a blood clot somewhere,usually the lung. I had a lung scan done. And figured on it being the birth control I was on. Obviously that is not the case with you. Just some info,I am not sure about the other tests.
