is it real?

Back in august I went to the doctor because of terrible headaches backaches, dizziness, fatigue and numbness in my feet. The doctor ordered an MRI, that came back normal but my symptoms persisted. I was having to come home from school because of my headaches and my legs hurt very badly. My doctor reffered me to a neurologist, In November I went to see him. He diagnosed me with chronic daily headaches, and ordered a cbc.I had passed out 3 times by then.  My doctor told me that my CBC was normal, but I looked it over and found some worrying totals. Here they are:

 eosinophils absolute test is high its 499 

immature Granulocytes absolute was 14

WBC: 4.2

RBC:3.8

Platlets: 189 

Hemoglobin: 12.4 (low but normal range for a teen)  

If anyone has any Ideas as to what I should do that would be great, I still am abnormally tired and have had a hard time eating(things dont look apetizing) I still get dizzy  , and have headaches every day, I also get hurt allot (I may just be clumsy) and bruise slightly easily.

Thank you,

Clara

 Clara,

I am a Leukemia cancer survivor,

When your body is fighting infaction your white cells count increase. the normal count is between 4 to 10  count yours is 4.2 is in the low normal range. In my type of Leukemia my white cells decrease unlike the rest of the leukemias. Just keep track of your white count if it is too below 4 you must talk to your doctor and ask to be referred to a blood specialist(oncologist) given that you do not have any other condition and do not take a no for an answer. (this is your life, remember that) 

Take care,

Julie

I myself am a cancer fighter. I have had Lekumia for 2 years now and am still battleing. My advice that I could give you is to get a second opinion on the results that you are getting and to also go to an oncologist to get results as well. That is what I had to do to get answers, the regular docter was just diagnosing me with Lupus, which has some similar symtoms to Lekumia. I wish you the best of hope and that you will get better. Also your results that you got depends on your age and also on other factors.  -Liz
