High White Blood Cell Count Combined Large Red Blood Cells
I can find information on high white count and enlarged red blood cell separately. I can not get the information on combination of both. I see a Hematologist/Oncologist tomorrow. I need to be prepared if I am going to labeled an alcoholic. Anyone have both of these issues?
View 1 RepliesFibromyalgia Syndrome - Elevated White Blood Cell Count?
This may be a daft question but I can't help wondering if anyone else has had blood test results where your white blood cell count was elevated? It seems mine are always out? It's not crazy high but high enough the doctor calls me in.
Is there any links between wbc and Fibro?

Can anyone help me understand these test results? I had a blood test that read my testosterone was 35 NG/ML (17-76 ref range) free testosterone is 0.2 NG/DL (0.3-1.5 ref range). I then had a saliva test done and my results were Testosterone 1,852 pmol/L (34-148 ref range). I am so confused. Do I have HIGH or LOW testosterone?
View 1 RepliesLiver :: High ALT (312) /AST (604) Enzyme Count
I'm a 36 year old woman who has been battling undiagnosed health issues for about 10 years. No family doctor. Suggestions of possible autoimmune disease made by more than one ER doctor but as they only treat acute issues, I've never had any testing. On July 2nd I felt like I was having a heart attack or something, the pain would not let up for about half hour so my hub took me to the ER. BP was 158/100. I had blood taken and they prepped me with a picc line (which was never used as I refused the drugs). Test results came back ALT 312 AST 604 and doc said he was concerned so req ultrasound and blood work to check for hep A, B and C. Ultrasound found gallstones but no inflammation in the gallbladder. I do not drink, I do not take any medication...rarely take advil (I mean very rarely)...do not take Tylenol. I do not use recreational drugs either. I was asked by both the 1st ER doc and the second...if I was a drinker. Waiting for hep blood work results still...and still have a constant dull pain in my upper abdomen, mostly right side but also some on the left and some mid abdominal pain also and as always...I'm very fatigued. Not sure what is going on...anyone else had levels this high and got a dx?

View 2 RepliesHormones :: High Total Testosterone (LH Of 25 And An Fsh Of 6.6)
I'm a 22 y/o female. I have always had an irregular period, but it's now been almost 4.5 months without one. I had an LH of 25 and an Fsh of 6.6. My doctor at student health says this is normal, but after doing some research that appears so only if I'm about to have my period. It has been 7 days and no period. I also had low fasting insulin serum and a total testosterone of 103 (normal 8-60) my free testosterone was normal though at 1.1. My prolactin was 13.3 and my TSH was low normal.
View 2 RepliesPeriod Is 12 Days Late, Stopped Taking The Pill
I have been on the pill for a year and I stopped taking it just over a month ago. I was having sex just up until I stopped taking it (long distance relationship). Just after I stopped taking it I had a light period but since then I haven't got a period again and it's currently 12 days late. I had some PMS right before I was supposed to get my period but it never came. I'm scared that I could be pregnant because I know a girl who didn't know she was pregnant until it was too late because she was still getting her period! Do you think I could be pregnant or that my period is just irregular (my period was regular before I took the pill).

I would like to know just what happens when a person stops taking their thyroid medication; I had a TT a few months ago. Like apparently a lot of other people, I have lost medical insurance. I want to know literally what happens to the body once I quit taking the levothyroxine, and is it painful? How long before a person's body shuts down and coma happens?
View 2 RepliesStopped Taking Citalopram - Yawning, Shaky And Teeth Grinding
I've just started taking Citalopram a day ago but already feel the side effects starting. Is it normal for them to start so soon? I feel weirdly sleepy and keep yawning. I also feel a bit shaky and for some reason I can't stop grinding my teeth. Are these symptoms or am I just imagining them because I know that I will be experiencing them soon? I would love for some people to share their experiences with the drug, it's taken me a while to get to the point where I've been comfortable enough to finally talk about my depression and start taking them.
View 8 RepliesHormones :: High DHEA And Free Testosterone
I'm 21 and for about a year now I've been having irregular periods and some spotting in between periods. About a month a go I went to my first obgyn appointment and she sent me to get some blood work done. I call and ask them for the result and I have high levels of free testosterone and high DHEA. The only thing she told me as to go back for a prescription to start birth control and the hormone levels will balance out. Shouldn't I have more tests done to see what is causing these high levels?
I'm currently waiting for the authorization for an pelvic ultrasound and my lower stomach and back are killing me. Could this be an side effect from the high hormone levels? Will birth control treat this?

View 1 RepliesStopped Taking Thyroid Meds After 4 Years Of Complete - Insurance Won't Cover
I had a complete thyroidectomy four years ago (removed thyroid, two parathyroids and two lymph nodes) and have been taking my meds (112mcg) regularly until I lost my insurance 6 months ago. I can't afford insurance and can't get help with insurance anywhere! I'm now back to work and my health is RAPIDLY declining. I'm retaining fluid like crazy, tired constantly, headaches, severe body cramps, lymph nodes in my neck are so enlarged other people are noticing them, constipated, blurry vision, deep and severe spine pain, ect. I can't afford to pay out of pocket to see a doctor so they can renew my thyroid meds for me! The appointment will cost me around $400 for visit and bloodwork. Are all of these symptoms from being off of my thyroid meds? This has never happened before but I've always been very strict with taking my thyroid meds until now. Btw I'm only 27 years old.
View 7 RepliesHypertension :: High Carbohydrate Food Causes High Blood Pressure (100/170)?
i am not overweight. Drink a healthy smoothie and whole grain cereal almost every morning yet my BP is still high. (100/170). I was told it may be because of elevated insulin levels caused by the fruit drinks and whole grains (as well as the potato, rice, pasta and breads) that I eat. These are things that easily break down into sugars and cause the issue. (Basically a carb issue). Am I supposed to go on one of those caveman diets? Has anyone tried lowering their carb intake to lower their BP?
View 53 RepliesPituitary Disorders :: High Prolactin But Normal Testosterone Levels?
I am a 27 year old male. For some time I've shown symptoms of a lack of sex drive and erectile dysfunction but as I suffer from anxiety always attributed it as the cause. I had some blood tests done privately and my results showed a slightly raised prolactin level but my testosterone seems average.
TSH 0.70 mIU/L (0.27 - 4.2)
Prolactin 397 mIU/L (86 - 324)
Testosterone 21.3 nmol/L (7.6 - 31.4)
SHBG 35 nmol/L (16 - 55)
The results seem to suggest Prolactinoma but a common side effect is low testosterone where my results prove otherwise. I'm afraid if I speak to my doctor he will tell me it is all in my head so I'm trying to make some sense of the results.
I guess the question I'm asking is is it possible to have raised Prolactin/Prolactinoma and normal looking testosterone levels?
Should I speak to my doctor anyway?
