Thanks for the reply. Going through the blood test tonight, the iron was ok.
Besides the elevated sed and crp, the low hematocrit and hemoglobin, the platelet count was 181 (thousand)-normal-but on the low side as the normal range at this lab is 140-400 (thousand).
Thyroid was also normal.
I'm not worried or consumed by anxiety. It is more uncomfortable at this point.
I have serious back problems with 3 levels of disc problems with 2 levels of spinal stenosis and 2 levels of facet hypertrophy. Currently i wear a 100 mcg Fentanyl Patch and take 30 mg Roxicodone up to per day for breakthrough pain. So, pain I already have. The tiredness is kicking me in the butt along with a slightly tight breathing and the joint pain and itching.
Lupus and most auto immunes were ruled out because of a negatove ANA test and anyone who has ever watched an episode of House can tell you that 95% of those with Lupus will test positive for ANA.
I have an appointment with a hemotologist Monday, so hopefully I will have some more info and some tests lined up after tomorrow.
Thanks again for the reply.
