Trying to find cause of symptoms.

by nnhood, Oct 19, 2009 02:04PM
Started having swollen lymph nodes in Sept. of 2009, currently the main symptom seems to be loss of weight in my extremities.  Mainly my legs and they are achy and muscles and buttocks feel like they are burning sometimes when I sit down or lay down.  I don't notice this as much when walking around.   Had CBC tests and kidney and liver enzymes, and HIV as well.  Ultrasound of lymph nodes in neck as well as Xrays.   I am not tired really, and the main problem is just my legs.   Sometimes I feel like I'm running a low fever, but when I check it I'm not.

Just had a CBC a few days ago and this was actually while I was on Clindamycin for a mouth infection I had on the roof of my mouth after a dentist removed something lodged in my gums.   The CBC was within normal limits except Neutrophils were high and Lymphocytes were low.

I guess I'm worried about possible Leukemia or Hodgkins or Lupus.  

Here is the full CBC:

October 15th 2009 CBC

WBC 8.3
RBC 4.95
HGB 14.4
HCT 42.3
MCV 85.5
MCH 29.1
MCHC 34.0
RDW 12.5
Platelets 294
MPV 8.8
Abs. Neutrophils 6.1
Abs. Lymphocytes1.6
Abs. Monocytes 0.54
Abs. Eosinophils 0.08
Abs. Basophils 0.02
Neutrophils 73.0 which was high, up from 48 on Sept 13th 2009
Lymphocytes 19.3 which was low, down from 38.8 on Sept. 13 2009
Monocytes 6.5
Eosinophils 1.0
Basophils 0.2

ImmunoGlobulin

IgG 1193.0
IgM 190.0
IgA 301.0

Seeing an Endocrinologist this Wednesday just to see what they might think.  Considering having a lymph node biopsy and maybe aspiration done.

I had similar symptoms back in August of 2003 and in 7 months time I had 8 negative HIV tests, negative diabetes, negative ANA, negative Lyme...  this just seems like it's something that reoccured which bothers me...

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

M.
