Hi All, been a tough last 10days, 2 hospital visits with one of them an overnight stay. Temperature has been spiking at 39 and still continues to do so. Doctors are pretty convinced its a virus as the blood results and cultures don't show an infection, and that it will eventually clear.
In with the Prof yesterday and results are as shown-
White blood cell (WBC) count 2.8 x10^9/L * 4.0-11.0
Haemoglobin (Hb) 122 g/L * 130-180
Platelet (PLT) count 104 x10^9/L * 150-400
Red blood cell (RBC) count 3.56 x10^12/L * 4.50-6.00
Haematocrit (Hct) 0.36 L/L * 0.40-0.52
Mean cell volume (MCV) 102 fL * 80-100
Mean cell haemoglobin (MCH) 34.2 pg * 27.0-33.0
Red cell distribution width (RDW) 16.0 % * 11.0-14.8
Neutrophil count 1.3 x10^9/L * 1.7-7.5
Lymphocyte count 0.7 x10^9/L * 1.0-4.5
Monocyte count 0.4 x10^9/L 0.2-0.8
Eosinophil count 0.4 x10^9/L 0.0-0.4
Basophil count 0.0 x10^9/L 0.0-0.1
Microbiological investigation of respiratory viruses (LUMINA)
Influenza A PCR RNA Not detected
Influenza B PCR RNA Not detected
RSV PCR RNA Not detected
Parainfluenza PCR RNA Not detected
Rhinovirus/Enterovirus PCR RNA Not detected
HMPV PCR RNA Not detected
Adenovirus PCR DNA Not detected
Mycoplasma PCR DNA Not detected
Enterovirus PCR RNA Not detected
They all assure it will pass, but believe me I feel poleaxed with it!!
On another note has anyone had any dealings with LDN ( low dose naltrexone) as a maintenance therapy to try and maximise the outcome.
Best regards,
Jack
