Terrible Blood Test results, strong Fatigue

Hello all,

I am 23 year old male. I have this terrible problem with fatigue. I had it for few years, but in the recent year or half a year it was terrible. It is hard to do even the most basic tasks. I used to have LOTS of willpower, but now it is less and less.
I also had unexplainable stomach pains which were NOT heartburn and not ulcer related. I also experience cold sensitivity and drowsiness.

I've done ultrasound, upper GI, and some sort of hospital stomach exam - all of them came out fine. I do NOT drink,smoke or take drugs. I eat healthy food, sometimes I used to ear huge bowls of salad.

On January I did blood tests and they came horrible:

results - reference range
LOW
WBC: 3.8 4-11 10E9/L
Neutrophils: 1.7 2-8 10E9/L

High
ALT: 99 1-60 U/L
Bilirubin Total: 37 0-24 Umol/L
CK: 700 0-195 U/L

Then I was doing similiar follow up tests, with additional things looked at. GGT and inflammation markers are normal.
Hemoglobin is near the higher limit. In the 5 months the results were between 161-172 g/L reference range 137-180 g/L

On March the liver test results finally came much better
with only Total Bilirubin being above the norm:
27 where the standard range is 0-24 Umol/L .

Also triglecerydes were LOWER then lowest limit:

0.35 where the range is 0.60-2.30 mmol/L

The doctor doesn't know what it is and doesn't give any diagnosis.

Recently blood test showed that Mercury is 50% higher than highest limit. Lead is low.


Anyone know what these results mean and what to do? Thank you very much

Re: Terrible Blood Test results, strong Fatigue

Hi ABC. I am sorry you are feeling crummy. I know it is frustrating when you cannot find out what is wrong.

I highly recommend that you have your thryroid checked. Thyroid disorders can cause many of the symptoms you describe and they are fairly common.

I recommend asking to have the Free T3, Free T4 (besides the T3 and T4) and thyroid antibodies tested in addtion to the normal panel. These are all blood tests. They are not usually done but are necessary for a comprehensive view. Even if your results are in the normal range, they may not be optimal for you.

Be sure to get a copy of your results. If you need help interpreting them, the people on the thyroid board at this site are very helpful.

Do not give up! You will find out what is wrong.

Re: Terrible Blood Test results, strong Fatigue

Thank you very much for reply, Ticker.

I done thyroid ultrasound , it came out ok.
I've done ANA anti nuclear antibodies and it came out negative.

Mono antibodies are negative, strong hepatitis immunity.

TSH (measured it twice, once in Jan one in May) is within normal range, actually close to being low than high.

Free T4 and Total T3 are within normal range.

Antythyroid Peroxidase AB 28.9 reference range 0-60 kIU/L.

Thank you very much!

Re: Terrible Blood Test results, strong Fatigue

Hi ABC. I would still suggest getting the Free T3 and Free T4 tested.

Do you think you could have been bitten by a tick? Ticks can transmit differrent diseases including Lyme disease, which is a multi-system bacterial infection. Lyme disease can cause many seemingly unrelated symptoms.

Do you have a low body temperature?

Re: Terrible Blood Test results, strong Fatigue

Did you get a vitamin test? A lack of B vitamins cause fatigue along with many other symptoms like muscle weakness, depression, loss of hair, dementia, mood swings, fatigue mental and physical slowness,gastrointestinal disorders,tingling sensations in the extremities etc. There are so many things.

There lot of info out there on B vitamins if you wish to read up on B vitamins.
For some people their body does not utilize B vitamins correctly. They need B shots. Processed food, refined food, sugar, meds, and caffeine can destroy B vitamins
