Mystery Symptms
I went to my dr on with back pain, my dr tested for UTI which was negative but found blood in my urine. I was sent for a ct scan (suspected kidney stones) which showed enlarged lymph nodes in my groin area. They done a repeat ct with dye 2 days later and that showed the same thing. They then drew blood and told me that my wbc and everything was normal i was really surprised because every time ive had blood drawn my wbc was always high. They done a papsmear and pelvic exam which also came back normal. Two weeks later i returned to the dr with difficulty breathing and was diagnosed with bronchitis. The following day an ambulance was called for me because i could not breathe at all. While at the hospital they done a ABG and also tested my wbc which was 18000. I was given prednisone and azythromiacin and an inhaler. A week later i had a follow up with my gp and still was not better and still had a fever. She done a cbc again and this time my wbc was 23000. I have taken 3 injections of rocephin the last being yesterday and i have a follow up monday for repeat cbc. I still have a low fever 99. and i just generally do not feel good. i am very tired and am still having the difficulty breathing at times. I was wondering if anyone has seen something like this before. Thanks in advance
Have you had a kidney function test? You symptoms suggest kidney cysts - the symptoms are astonishingly diverse. Your elevated temp and back pain give me pause. Please keep me posted.
I just returned home from my repeat CBC. today my white blood cell count is 11,00. Which is still considered elevated. The lady in the lab today gave me my lab report for this year here are my wbc since January: 1/8 my wbc was 12.70, on 7/26 it was 9.44, on 8/22 it was 18.4, 8/28 it was 22.90 and today was 11.00. They have tested my urine.. I haven't found out the results of this yet but they done an in and out cath on me Thursday. Any suggestions of things i could ask my doctor? I always feel so tired and feels like my body is fighting something. I just want to feel good again.
Hi Angel.
Did you have a urine analysis followed by a urine culture if positive or a blood culture if the suspected bacterial infection (likely kidney) has traveled to the blood? Probably not.
It's likely the case here, as Sylvie mentioned, along with bronchitis, for which antibiotics will do very little, but will probably eradicate the bacterial infection, should they be the correct abx for the particular bacteria.
It's best when you have a urine or blood culture, so the antibiotic can be best matched with the bacteria, but this is not routinely done.
You may want to supplement with coconut oil-it's great when used in cooking, as it does not cause inflammation, unlike all other cooking oils-
for the following reasons:
1. It is anti-fungal and it helps with the intestinal bacterial imbalance caused by antibiotics.
2. It is anti-viral, so it helps with viral conditions like bronchitis,
whereas antibiotics cannot treat viruses.
3. It is anti-microbial and it will help fight off the bacteria, involved in your suspected kidney infection.
Make sure you start with a small quantity like 1 tablespoon daily, because its medicinal properties may cause a die-off effect (Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction,with some temporary symptoms ), and then gradually increase it.
There may other explanations, but this one stands out.
Note that this is not intended as a substitute for medical advice.
Post again or pm me anytime for any details or just to give an update.

Hi, I think you have an acute kidney infection. I had one years ago and my symptoms were exactly the same. Go back to your GP who will prescribe you some antibiotics. Don't let it go for too long because it can be dangerous and cause kidney failure in the long run if left untreated. But, don't worry with the right medication , you will be back to normal within a week. Good luck and take care.
