Hi Everyone
I was hoping you could help me think things though alittle. I have seen my doctor 3 times in the past year and a half. Two of these times was for deer tick bites. She did CBC's each time. The first time, a year and a half ago, my wbc was 11.4. A year later, I went in again with another tick bite, and my WBC was 12.5. I also scheduled this appt because all of my bones "burn" especially the bottom of my feet and my arms. I though it was from Lyme Disease. My doctor ordered a follow up CBC (a 6 month follow up) which I did yesterday, and the WBC came back 13.8.
I know these readings are not extremely high. I am concerned because they are high, and have been for such a long time, and keep increasing. My bones hurt, but not all of the time, I'm tired, and I bruise very easily. The reason I say this, is because I always have bruises (just a few) on my arms and legs and usually have no idea where they came from.
I am supposed to schedule an appt with a hemotologist on monday, but I am going crazy thinking it might be leukemia. I asked the doctor over the phone, but she skirted the question.
Can anyone help me out, and tell me if this sounds typical?
Thanks!
