[staysafe]

Hi everyone,

I really need your help I becoming depressed as I can't find an answer from doctors.

My symptoms are the following:

- It started by having an having in increased feeling to urinate with an urge although my bladder is not that full. I can go like 10 times per day. sometimes.
- after 11 weeks I noticed that I have a white coated tongue or hairy tongue don't know exactly the diference. I know also sometimes experience a dry mouth
- with my tongue I also started to not have any appetite and I lost weight around 4 kilo in 2 months.

I did a CBC and urine tests and they are all normal. what tests should i do? what can it be? what should I look for? whichis the best doctor to consult?

Please any advise.

Now, I want you to know while I once graduated from vocational nursing school, it was many years ago, I am a layperson, and I am not a lab technician.  But one thing I noticed is that they are doing manual microscopic counts for the differential part of the white blood cell count (ie the counts for your basophils, etc.).  I believe I heard that is not always accurate because it is subject to human error- a manual count through a microscope versus a machine count.

But, in regards to your question, I found this:

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003643.htm

It says a high white blood cell count can be caused by inflammatory disease and lists allergy as an example, so the answer is if you have an allergy, it CAN raise your white blood cell count!

Could an allergy have increased the WBC? I have uploaded the latest results on my profile If you can have a look and input compared to the others :) Many thanks for your help really

I mean, perhaps your body fought off a virus (causing the rise in white blood cell count) where you had been exposed to the virus, but didn't actually get a full-fledged case of the virus yourself.

what do you mean by came down with it? well when I had this 14% WBC I was feeling ok, only my nose was stuffed from time to time.

I meant to say that's my guess of what it could be- I can't say for sure.  But it looks like you can relax about it to me! :0)  

Maybe you were exposed to some virus, but your body fought it off so you did not succumb to it where you actually came down with it?
