I need input

[Guest guest]

Hi everybody,

I have a new to me situation and really need some input. I hope someone has

some info or supposition or anything. I am a bit scared because I just

don't have any idea of what to expect.

Last week I had blood drawn and got the results today. My white count is

17.9 and the Eosinophil count is 3000. The norm here is 0-450 so it is

pretty high. The puzzle is that the only time before that I have had a

count like this was when I was well into a severe pain attack and in the

hospital. That has happened twice. Usually my count is within normal range

even with some symptoms. Right now I have no symptoms. Well only very

minor AB pain, very minor. I don't understand what could be going on now.

I take Gastrochrom, but have not taken it for months because I was not

having bad symptoms. Guess I will go back on that right away and plan to

call the Allergist and probably the GI tomorrow, but as you all know they

just don't have too many answers. They treat the symptoms, but don't know

about the daily living.

I do have some symptoms but don't think they are related, but maybe one of

you will be able to shed some light. I am exhausted all the time. I just

feel like everything is pulled down. I am also cold a lot and I have always

been the hot one. I get so cold at night that I sleep with a blanket, a

Quilt, a piece of polar fleece folded double and last night a heavy terry

robe and still am not really warm. My husband just has a blanket and the

quilt. And we live in Southern California so it doesn't really get too

cold......

I am afraid that I will end up in pain and back in the hospital and that is

not where I want to spend Christmas. I am thinking that I can't leave

anything undone or for the last minute so have much to get done and not sure

how with being so tired.

Please if you have any ideas or anything get back to me. I am so worried

right now that I am making myself sick.

Thanks for the shoulder and any ideas you might have...
