yep I tested negative for lymes disease, thyroid, diabetes and autoimmune diseases...thats why alot of doctors dont believe me..my chest xray came back fine, my bone scan came back fine and these blood tests came back fine. At first my blood work was normal except for anemia, and inconsistent liver enemze numbers. That blood work was done about two months ago. Now my blood work shows a white blood cell count of 38, i still have anemia and other abnormal results but im not sure what they are..they never explained them to me. The thing that pops up in my head though as a medical professional is that ok that just means i dont have lymes, thyroid, diabetes and autoimmune diseases like lupus. That doesnt mean nothing is wrong. Those are specific tests. If it was something God forbid say Hodgkin's lymphoma however, of course all that bloodwork would come back negative. And that would explain normal blood work until now because it was confined to lymph nodes and now has spread to an organ...explaining my swollen liver and abnormal fluctuating liver results and enlarged lymph nodes as well as my now CBC which is abnormal now. It just means whatever I have is now finally being picked up. It could also explain HIV which I could have picked up from being in the Healthcare field and working with people some of which do have HIV and AIDs and that would explain my low immunity if i do have mono and my 3 ear infections and UTI and random fevers. Im not saying I have cancer or HIV. What I am saying is that just because I tested negative for the above mentioned things doesnt mean Im crazy and have nothing at all and its in my head. I dont understand how doctors need such obivious clinical back ups to make a diagnosis. There have been plenty of cases where there are really sick people who just dont have an immediate obvious diagnosis. That doesnt mean they are crazy and hypchondriacs. It just means the doctors are going to need to do alittle more work (God Forbid). And same thing that goes for people who have no symptoms. That doesnt mean they dont have something. They may feel great and have routine bloodwork that shows serious issues. That doesnt mean they need to be ignored because they are asymptomatic...it still needs to be addressed. Sorry, Im still angry lol...thank you for bringing up the possibilty of lymes. That was a good idea. thanks again!
