Eosinophilia

I've been diagnosed with eosinophilia.
Counts have been as low as 9% and as high as 14%.
Doc has been putting me through all kinds of testing. I don't know anything about this. I was diagnosed with Trigeminal neuralgia in 2013. It was determined idiopathic because they could not find a cause. I've had other symptoms such as IBS, itchy skin, most recently anemia and lastly a deep soft tissue neoplasm (cyst) on my right hip. Yesterday dermatologist took 2 biopics of it. He also discussed a rare blood disorder called hypereosinophilic syndrome and eosinophilic leukemia.

Now I'm freaking out.

Can all this be caused by elevated eosinophils?

If anyone has any info I'd greatly appreciate it. This is quite frightening.

Now add sudden onset of fever.
Last night, out of no where, during walk with dog, vertigo began. Went home. Barely made it before massive chills hit. Then hardcore sleepiness. Fever peaked at 101.4.
Daughter said I was mumbling trying to ask her something but she couldn't understand what I was saying. This morning feel ok but EXTREMELY drained.

I don't think so. I take a multi vitamin but that's it.

Have you taken any supplements that contain L-tryptophan or 5-HTP?  If so, check out eosinophilia myalgia syndrome:
