Ok, heres goes. I'm currently active duty
in the navy. I've been having these
problems for about a year now, and doctors
can't really diagnose me. Here are my
symptoms:
-burning/itching/tingling of the hands and
feet, along with swelling
-burning/itching of red lesions (not sure
if thats what they are or not, but they
look like red bumps that are usually not
in any particular shape, but are usually
about 2-3 inches wide), I get these all
over my body.
-extreme fatigue, it doesn't matter if I
get 11,10,9,8 hours of sleep I still feel
very tired and weak.
There are quite a few other things that
are going on with me, but these symptoms
are my main concern.
My doc thinks I have chilblains, which is
a type of lupus(?). She ran a whole lot
of blood tests on me. The four that I see
came back irregular are,
cd56 (nkh-1).......... 5.9 normal results
are (7-31)
abs cd56 ............. 81 normal results
are (90-600)
fdp .................. Came back high.
D-dimmer.............. 1.03 normal
results are (0.225-0.48)
my docs seem to be stumpped. Please help.
I've been seen at portsmouth naval hosp.
For a year now, and now their going to
send me up to john hopkins thursday. I
want any info that I can take up there
with me.
