I am not sure WHAT exactly the disorder or disease you have.  It sounds to me STRONGLY of something metabolic.  

Hopefuly these labs will provide some answers.  I will be surprised if they all come back clean/ok.

RBC is high
WBC is low

I really appreciate you taking the time to talk.

No recent labs?  You need labs redrawn.  I still think this is metabolic.  

See the Rheumatologist, but I am not sure if you will get any answers from him/her.  

I would recommend consulting an Endocrinologist.  

These CAN be signs of Fibro, but let the Rheumatologist rule that out.

Hi Londres70
Thanks for the insight.
I was hospitalized and they conducted series of blood tests.
Initially they said, electrolyte imbalance.
Last time they checked I have low sodium..so they gave me sodium chloride tablets.
Now, since I am feeling weak, thinking so much, experienced muscle pains in extremeties, specially lower legs,back and chest and headaches.
I lost my apetite and has lost weight. I am trying to maintain my energy since when I dont eat these pains are terrible.
Before I can sleep well but now I cant.
Difficult to fall asleep and usually has 3 to 4 hrs sleep only.
I am into celebrex (pain killers) and mecobalamin at the moment.
Are these signs of fibromyalgia?
Please help.
I am setting an appointment with rheumatologist.

In my opinion, this sounds metabolic in nature, NOT cancer.  

Have you had a metabolic panel done?  (sodium, potassium, glucose, magnesium, calcium, etc.)  Serum Iron panel done?  Serum B12?  These are labs.  

I think the lumbar MRI will NOT result in answers, but you can get it.
