Protein levels and cholesterol level

[bluedolphin98665]

I actually have 2 different questions but blood work results...


1) What can cause your protien to be extremely high with blood draws.
2) What can cause your cholesterol level to be very very low?

Just a little history of me. I am 29yrs old and will be 30 on Sept 23,2010 and for the last year in September I went to the doctor with severe pain just under my breast of my left side. They have ran many test and still cant really find a source to my pain. During this time with blood work they found that I was diabetic and my cholesterol is very low. My primary doctor didnt say anything about my cholsterol level being low he did dx. me to be diabetic and tryed to get to the bottom of my pain. One day prior to this appt I was in the ER with the pain in my side they did  CT scan and found that my spleen was enlarged and I had a fatty liver and on both my spleen and my liver they found lymphnodes on both my liver and spleen that are possiably cancer. At that time my doc sent me to a surgon and then that doc refered me to a cancer spec. they havent really address any of this really after 7 months. So when I lost my job I went on state insurance I had to find a whole new set of docs. At that time I was ready and happy to see new doctors to see if they can get to the bottom of all this. And stil today I havent gotten alot of answers just it might be this and it might be this. But no real dx. Its fusterating. I have nausea or vomiting daily along with the serve pain. I need any advise to what might be going on or if anyone knows any good doctors in the vancouver, Washington area that maybe able to get to the bottom of this. Im tired of taking massive pain meds daily to just move and function a normal life. I started out taking Vicodin and now I am taking Morphine 30mg 4times a day and 10mg of percocet a day for break thru pain. And for someone who has never touched a drug in my life not even weed and has never smoked a ciggerate and maybe have a drink 1-2 times a yr but hasnt had a drink in 3+ yrs so you can say I dont drink anymore. And when I did drink I had no more then 3-4 mixed drinks. And its so fusteration having to take these drugs to cover up my pain and I am tired of covering up my pain because the docs cant find the source of the pain. HELP ME PLEASE

I actually dont live in Vancouver, Canada I live in the Vancouver, Washington its very close to the oregon boarder. It does feel as the docs are putting a bandaide on all this. Its so fusterating for me. I have been in the medical feild since 1999 and I know quiet a bit and I am currently in the process going for my RN but in my pre classes before the program. I have asked different docs what is really going on and they all seem to have different answers. I have seen since Sept last yr 8-10 different docs and on my second primary doc.I have been in tears at my docs appt and in tears at the ER and they always ask me Have I talked to someone like a therapist? Because they feel I need someone to talk to about this. Well I am depressed... Why hmm I went from being active to bed bound in months and losing my job my ex fiancee etc etc etc. I am currently taking depression meds and they were just upped again to a higher doseage because Im tired of living this way at 29. But no I havent seen a therapist and why may you ask because I think they are a bunch of BS my son has seen one for yrs and there crazy fools. I have a friend at 32 that is suffering from cronic pain as well so her and I talk alot about what we go thru and so that helps alot. But may I ask if you have any medical background? And what state do you live in and if you have any ideas on where to go from here cause Im really lost on where to go now.

Hi.  I am so sorry for all you've been through!  It sounds like your docs are putting a bandaid on your problem instead of treating it.  Cancer of these organs at your age is rare, but does happen.  I would make an appt. with your doctor and ask what his plan is to treat you.  I don't know how things work in Canada, but here we can call the AMA and request the best doctor in any field and get one.  Try "googling" best cancer doctors in your city, and pick one.  This is what I had to do to finally get a proper diagnosis for my son, and he was the fourth GI specialist we saw.  You should not have to be suffering like this, and it angers me when doctors act like this.  It's time to demand they either do something or refer you to someone who will care and address the problem.  Don't allow them to treat you as a number.  Be the squeaky wheel, either get their attention or move on.  You deserve better than this!  Let me know if I can help you with your search.  Good luck and take care.
