Elevated White Blood Count 60,000 Posted: 12-23-05 23:38pm
Last april I had an elevated wbc and my dr
never figured out what the cause was. It
never did go back to "normal" but was
close enough the concern was lowered.
After months of numerous blood tests, cat
scan of stomach, mri of my brain tumor
with no abnormal results other than
elevated wbc I quit worrying about it.
My life is very high stress at this
point,, I have been fatigued but thats
normal for me when this stressed. I had
a sinus infection a month ago and went on
antibiotics. This week severe diarrhea.
I went to the dr today and my wbc was
60,000. I am terrified that I have
something bad wrong with me. Is there
anything else that could be causing this
high wbc. Because of the holidays I have
to wait until next week to try and figure
it all out. He gave me a shot of
antibiotics, ordered oral antibiotics and
lab work and sent me home. I do not
have a fever or anything else,,, just
tired and stressed with an astronomical
wbc which is scaring the heck out of me.
Thank you if you have any ideas it might
make me sleep better,...... Update: I was
diagnosed with chronic myelogenic
leukemia.
