Re: RE: GOING TO HEMATOLOGIST

[Guest guest]

Hi Aylwin:

 

For 10 years now, since having CFS, my ANA has ALWAYS been positive.  It was

ALWAYS either speckled or homogeneous patterns.  Never nothing else.  It was

either 160 or 320 and no higher.  Now in April the patterns was still the same

but the ANA went up to 640.  But last month when I had bloodwork done again, it

went back to 320.  BUT, now the pattern is Nucleolar.  There is no other pattern

with it.  It's all by itself.  For 10 years, it was always two patterns

together.

 

But my sed rate is always low and I don't have pain.  Sometimes I get the muscle

pain in my forearms.

 

I've had the facial and neck rash for 10 years.  But the Rheumy said it's

pointing more toward Butterfly rash rather than cea.  But I've never had a

biopsy.

 

So do you think the Hematologist will know more with that information?  The only

thing on the rash on the face is that it does NOT spare the nasal folds.

 

Here is my labs if you know anything about this.  If you do, what does it look

like to you?

 

In January white count was 2.3.  Now it's 2.1.  But it's always been around

2.something.  Range is 3.6-11.0.

 

In January MPV was 6.3 and now is 6.0.  Range is 7.1-11.2.

 

In January Neutrophil % was 26.5.  Now is 22.5.  Range is 38.0-70.0.

 

In January Lymphocyte was 55.0--High. Now is 57.1.  Range is 21.0-49.0.

 

In January Monocyte % was High at 13.4.  Now is 16.1.  Range is 0.0-11.0.

 

In January Neutrophil # was 0.6.  Now is 0.5.  Range is 1.8-7.7.

 

Any thoughts?  If you have any questions about other symptoms, just ask.
