Not doing well. Wbc count was up Thursday and went to see reg doc Friday to get answers. Didn't get any. She's as baffled as I am. Ordered more blood work, ultrasound of my kidneys, x ray of my leg because I still have a knot where I tripped over a chair 3months ago, wants a CT scan of my head, and have to see a hemotologist on Tue. This is kicking the depression up major time. My reg doc is thinking it's something autoimmune. I just want fixed. I also might be getting a bone biopsy. I don't know what to do. And to top it off Friday was my birthday. What a fun freaking day.

Sorry you are going through this. It has to be scary not knowing.

It is not easy while they try to figure it out. They will though and will get you the help you need. Sending good vibes your way, along with strength and courage to face each moment. You are stronger than you think. Do what you need to to take extra special care of you right now. Hang in there meanwhile! (((((tigersassy)))))

Another issue I'm having is how do I know what symptoms are from this mysterious blood thing or what's from my bipolar?

Dr is doing a bone marrow biopsy on Thursday. She thinks I have a type of leukemia called CML. I'm falling apart now.
