Enlarged Spleen with normal CBC

Enlarged Spleen with normal CBC

About a month ago, I started feeling incredibly run down. I thought I was getting the flu. After two days off work sleeping, I felt a little better. Then, about three weeks ago I started getting incredibly fatigued at the littlest of tasks. I saw my Dr and she said that my spleen was swollen. She did a pregnancy test ( negative ) a Mononucleosis test ( negative ) and a liver enzyme test ( normal ). I am still feeling fatigued, but dont know what the cause could be that my CBC came back normal, yet my spleen is enlarged as well as a negative on all possible culprits. Any suggestions? I dont have health insurance so each of these tests is costing me out of pocket. I am trying to eliminate the least likely of candidates to test for the most likely for cost efficiency.
