Why CBC normal and CIC abnormal?
Hello,
I have a complicated medical question, because I feel sick and ill all the time, and my doctor does not know what is wrong. (I also get rashes every day, that are red and itch and last about an hour.)
My Complete Blood Count test for red and white blood cells (CBC Test), was normal, but another test for Circulating Immune Complexes (CIC) was abnormal: RAJI Cell Assay >.78 Reference: <.63
Can I have a normal CBC test and also have an uinfection or autoimmune disease from an abnormal RAJI test?
Is there a follow up test to the RAJI test, to find out what is causing the circulating immune complexes?
My doctor said he does not know about the RAJI test, and has nothing to tell me about the test, because I requested it, and he ordered it as a favor to me.

I do have other symptoms...
I feel sick and tired all the time, and have leg pain when walking short distances, and get pitting edema in my ankles, at the end of the day.
When I walk my legs feel heavy and tight also, and my the skin beneath my cuticles (nailfolds), gets puffy and red. The redness fades when I raise my arms up. My doctor did not explain why my nailfolds get red, and I do not think she knows. But I think it is from my blood vessels...

Make sure you are tested for Celiac disease. Try cutting out possible problem foods, like dairy, nuts, soy, citrus. Lyme disease certainly causes strange problems, but I don't know if your test results support that at all.
I do feel ill, (and really tired), and get rashes all the time, but they do not last too long. Just about an hour. I also have pains in my legs when I walk. My legs hurt so bad I can ot walk too long, and my legs get swollen in the ankles.
My doctor does not know what is wrong. I was tested for rhrumatoid arthritis, and had some low positive ANA and SSA tests, but the doctor didn't think it was lupus.
I am wondering if I could have an infection or virus...???
