发帖数: 496 | 1 Help - I live a very healthy lifestyle, yet in the past 6-12 months, I've
had a random variety of problems:
Very high cholesterol
Abnormally low WBC
Chronic fatigue
Hair loss
Unexplained weight gain
Frequent infection / inflammation
Sudden high fever without any other symptoms
Newly developed food and insect allergy
Irregular bowl movements
...
I am so tired of trips to doctors and all the prescriptions given to me that
only target each individual symptoms during acute attacks. I would like to
find out the root cause for these problems. Could it be associated with
some sort of autoimmune disorder or hormonal imbalance?
Any suggestions? Thanks so much! | f****o
发帖数: 2770 | 2 what's your hemoglobin level?and platelet level?
are those normal?
if they are low as well, maybe u need a bone marrow biopsy | j****i
发帖数: 496 | 3 In my latest lab, HgB and platelet are finally within normal range (although
still borderline low). In the past, they have been low more often than not
since I was a kid. The WBC drop along with those annoying symptoms, however
, is quite significant and fairly recent. I am HIV neg, no cold/flu either,
and this has gone longer than a normal course of viral infection. Bone
marrow biopsy sounds very scary. What kind of diagnosis can it reveal or
rule out? | f****o
发帖数: 2770 | 4 marrow bipsy sounds scary but it's frquently done for patients with
hematologic problems. you will receive lidocaine to numb the area. it's a
easy procedure with some soreness after it's done.
it can be used to check all kinds of hematologic problems, aplastic anemia,
myelodysplastic syndrome, chronic/acute myeloid/lymphocytic leukemia, etc.
maybe you should see a hematologist |
