questions about blood count and spinal tap results

I was wondering about the whole white cell count thing. For almost a year my wbc count has been 13 give or take, neutrophils are high and lymphocytes are low. Gran, absolute is 8.8 (high). I haven't been feeling well at all. I was given all different types of antibiotics and anti inflammatory meds. They say it is not an infection. I had a spinal tap about a month ago and my white cell count in there was 18 (critically high) neutrophils 37 (high) and lymphocytes low and monocytes low. the color was pink. They said it wasn't meningitis. I have a severe headache and stiff neck that wont go away. I just feel so horrible. It feels like my brain is ganna come out of my nose, so much pressure. If anyone knows what this might mean please let me know. Also i have had high protein in my blood for a couple years. Please help. Thank you so much!!!!!
