Eosinophilia and High IGE

[Jenn1302]

Hello Everyone,

I am in my 20's, normal weight, I exercise a lot and eat healthy balanced meals. I have had high eos levels for about a year and no one seems to know what causes it and how to treat it. My eos levels were 16% at first and now they're down to 10%. I also have a high level of IGE serum (255 iu/ml). I have been tested for parasites several times but the results came back negative. My doctor said this condition could be caused by allergies and put me on allergy medications, but I don't have any allergy related symptoms and the medications don't seem to do anything.

I do have elevated thyroid antibodies (TPO Ab and Thyroglobulin) and a history of hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism and gastritis. Can these issues be related to Eosinophilia and IGE somehow?

I am a bit concerned since my doctor told me that high eos levels can cause other problems, such as blood clots.  Does anyone here happen to know what could be causing my high eos and IGE levels? Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your response. Additional symptoms include excessive sleep (9-10 hours per night), occasional muscle/joint pain at night, excessive gas, interstitial cystitis (just diagnosed), occasional palpitations (PVCs/PACs), paleness, mild anemia, under eye puffiness, sick looking face, bad (facial) skin texture (e.g. blackheads) and black bags under my eyes. These symptoms started relatively recently (1-3 years ago).

Hi,
What other symptoms are present? Eosinophilia may be attributed to variety of conditions such as parasitic and fungal diseases, allergies, adrenal conditions, skin disorders, toxins, autoimmune diseases, endocrine disorders and tumors. Additional diagnostic tests may need to be done to determine the underlying cause. Take care and do keep us posted.
