Hello!
so let's start
I contacted my doctor in November about feeling extremely tired and sore all over my body I was then sent for a blood test.
I've had 3 full blood count tests, kidney function, Iron, folic acid
ECT..
All three have returned with borderline high white blood cells,
Low red blood cells and very low folic acid.
After my first two I was put on iron and folic acid for 2 months with no change.
The doctor has also requested I have a series of other tests that need to be done at the hospital, blood clotting, celiac, a test for gladular fever but I can't remember the full list off the top of my head right now.
my symptoms got worse inbetween the second and third blood test.
I've now started having incredibly painful headaches, I'm excessively sweating, getting reoccurring bruises, trouble sleeping, waking up in pain over my entire body, I get moments when my entire skin itches, I'm starting to lose feeling in my hands especially in the evening, I'm more tired then ever and it's not normal end of a day fatigue it's the moment I get out of bed I'm just as tired as I was when I got in it, I've also started having really horrible nightmares.
I've been waiting now since January for further tests and it just seems like I'm getting worse.
The doctor said one thing on the phone to me and it's just not gotten out of my head "Let's do these tests before we start looking into if it could possibly be anything related to blood cancers"
I'm a young mum and I'm terrified, I've always experience joint pain due to having EDS but the pain I'm having now is very different.
Am I over thinking?
please help.
Thank you
