Confused by results...can anyone help please?

Hi,
I have been experiencing a range of symptoms for about the last 9 months, they all started approx a week after I had a stomach bug and had my mirena coil removed. I have posted recently in the thyroid forum but have had some further results since and wondered if anyone could help me make sense of them. My symptoms are persistent nausea, itchy red palms and feet (particularly at night), dry mouth, increased urination and bowel movements, increased heart rate at rest (also had abnormal ecg which showed inverted t waves) and, more recently, fatigue. I am posting in this forum as I have a strong family history of autoimmune conditions ( coeliac disease, pernicious anaemia and graves) and wonder whether an auto immune condition could be causing these symptoms.

My most recent blood tests show low serum ferritin but normal folate and b12 so I guess this rules out pernicious anaemia, although I have tested positive for gastric parietal cell antibodies. I also had a random blood glucose reading of 6 (3.5-6)...my GP said she would be worried if it was 6.1 or over but that 6 is fine because it's within normal!? I have had a Hb1Ac of 28 (sorry no ref range) which I was told was normal so does this rule  out diabetes? The other thing I was worried about was thyroid; I have had 2 TSH readings done (Dec 1.25, july 2.25 range 0.35-5) and a free t4 of 15.1 (11-23) so I presume this rules out any possible thyroid problem??

Only other things of note in my results are low potassium, inorganic phosphate, white blood cell count (particularly monocytes, neutrophils and lymphocytes) and platelets and high cortisol (this has been investigated further and was suppressed sufficiently during dexamethosone test).

My GP has simply repeated the tests which are out of range (now approx 5 times since November)... They continue to be out of range but they don't seem to know what else to do!! Any advice is really welcomed!!

Thank you so much :)

Thanks for your help...I have looked it up and doesn't seem to be that common in the uk and not sure where or when I could have caught it!! But thank you so much for responding :)

I am not sure but I saw a special stating that chagas disease is the new USA aids. More people than they know are infected by it. It is transmitted by this bug that bites you, but then it can be human to human contraction. I dont really know if your symptoms fit it. Take a look and see. You really never know. I do know that rash stomache pain are associated with it. I'm not a doctor I'm an advid news reader and medical tv watcher :) That's all I can offer sorry.
