Why might I have and high wbc

[ramm0618]

I had two surgeries in 2016 and have yet to be the same. Emergency gall bladder and complete hysterectomy at two different times. Ever since gall bladder surgery, i have been so swollen in my arms, hands, face, fingers, stomach.. i am most swollen when I wake, but stay swollen through out the day even with taking a diuretic. My vitamin D stays low even though I’ve been taking 51,000 iu 2X a week for almost a year. It’s only 38. Without the huge doses, it goes way low.. so obviously my body is not retaining it. I have not been able to lose weight and I’m one of the most discipline dieters.. i eat healthy anyway, but I don’t cheat when I’m dieting. My cholesterol is high too. The good cholesterol is low(which should be high) and the bad cholesterol is high... my blood pressure is great. My wbc is 13.2 and my red blood cells are high normal.. i had high absolute lymphocytes and high immature granulocytes. Please help me figure this out....

"Also, what brand niacin and mg should I start with?"

Watch some vids first. It's a test, not a treatment. It will even make your BP go down temporarily and possibly dramatically, so you should be wary. Or maybe don't do it at all.

"In 6th grade, I literally didn’t go for two weeks and finally told my mom and after 2 or 3 enemas I finally went.. during pregnancy was terrible!!!!"

Problems with gut bacteria, which you have, can lead to heightened inflammation bodywide. That worsens the mast cell problem. Did you have a CRP blood test?

How old are you?

[ramm0618]

I’m not sure what CRP stands for! I’m 46 years old.

"Because I always get too constipated with pain meds. Like I can go week plus days without Bm if I take pain pills... " Okay, that's because opioid type painkillers stop movement in the gut (peristalsis). But if you're more sever than average, why? Maybe lack of good gut bacteria. Maybe. Some people get horrible health because of that, especially after many bouts of Abx.

I have always been prone to constipation. First week home from hospital as a newborn I did not have a BM.. mom called pediatrician and he said it was normal.. I disagree!! I had problems with that until after y’all bladder surgery and I literally go often... however I do take a natural colon cleanse or I don’t go everyday and I do still get constipated.

...and angioedema is usually associated with rashes (urticaria). But you don't mention having rashes, so that's a clue. Of something.

[ramm0618]

No rashes, but very sensitive skin! Very dry skin too!!

Keep your chin up, we're making progress in Dxing :)

"I didn’t even take pain meds after gall bladder surgery.. except for ibuprofen."  Why was that?

[ramm0618]

Because I always get too constipated with pain meds. Like I can go week plus days without Bm if I take pain pills... miserable!

homocysteine = Hcy

Is your pulse rate high? If you get dizzy because the water in your blood stream is leaving and going into tissue, that makes the heart beat faster to compensate.


Please research to find any association of your meds with angioedema.

Got to go for now...

[ramm0618]

I will research! My pulse gets higher than usual at times. I can feel it raising and yes, it usually makes me dizzy..
