Hello again
I've got an update. Well today was just terrible. I did not get to have my surgery. When I got to the surgery center this morning, my ENT took me to a room, I knew something was up cause they usually don't do this, anyway, he said he couldn't do the surgery today because my WBC was really high. When I say high I mean high. My wbc was 20.5. This is extremely high from what I have seen. I still have no fever. The ENT sent me for a chest x-ray and a urine screening with culture. Then he wanted me to go to my GP. So I went to see him today too. He took another urine test, came back fine. He didn't think I had pneumonia. Said my lungs sounded fine. I did just get off a large round of prednisone, I saw on the internet that this could elevate the wbc, does anybody know. My GP didn't really know, he didn't order anymore tests to be done. I have started antibiotics again for 7 days. I will go on April 8,2008 to have my wbc checked again. My GP also said that my thyroid was a little enlarged. Does anybody have any ideas as to what might be going on with me. I feel like I'm choking and I am having trouble breathing some. I kinda feel breathless. Any ideas??? I'm at wits end. I will call my ENT tomorrow to see if anything showed up on my x-ray. I'm also gonna call the other ENT to see if I can get the results of my MRI of the throat. I've still not heard from him. It makes me so mad when a doctor orders a test for you and doesn't give you the results till months later. As for the wbc, does anybody have any ideas as to what else could be going on with it being 20.5. I know that is high. I've also been extremely weak and tired for about 4 days now. I'm just so afraid that they, the docs, are gonna let whatever is going on, get worse and that is what I'm trying to prevent. HELP!!!!!
