Oh GOODY GOODY GOODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [**sarcasm, sarcasm, sarcasm**]
You see, I went to the Hemo-doc in March with the usual symptoms, and counts:
RBC: 2.5
HGB: 8.5
HCT: 11
He did all the usual bloodwork... said it was a MYSTERY!
Said it seemed like Hemolytic Anemia, and he would try to TYPE it.
Each type came back NO...
He said my case was a MYSTERY!!!!!
Tested for PNH=NO
Tested for Lead=NO
Tested, tested, tested....................
Did the BMB... said it was AA.........
Then, NO................. said that it's STILL a MYSTERY!!!
Now it shows that EP-thing...but says my case is still a MYSTERY!!!!!
And, that there were NO iron stores....but NORMAL iron!!!!!
And this Hematologist was touted as one of the BEST in Phoenix!!!!!
He decided to give me an iron infusion therapy, which I had a month ago. Since, I have felt WORSE, w/symptoms of AA, yet no more #'s of it.....PLUS I am having more petachiae appear.....
So you see WHY I am posting here... and I am SO SO SO frustrated.....not to mention that w/the differing diagnoses and worsening symptoms, I have grown depressed and quite stressed. The fatigue most days starts in at 8 or 9 a.m.....I drive a schoolbus, and by then have been to work for 3 hours already, and am now considering quitting my job, because of the inability to continue to function w/any quality of life.
Anyhow...... your comment...that it is a MYSTERY..... sent me spiraling..... you aren't my hemaologist, are you?????
Venting.........................
