High WBC - Leukemia symptoms ?
Posted: 09-19-08 13:41pm

Hi, I hope I have posted in the right place. I will list symptoms as follows, please bare with me!!

I have bouts of sweats day or night, when they come on I get dizzy, very weak, breathless, cold feeling inside like I am going to faint. they last about 30 minutes strong and once they fade off I have a headache and am tired and need to sleep.

I am always sleeping and have no energy. I never want out go out or do anything.

I have started to get pains in my hips when I walk.

Back pains that can be very bad.

I was 13 and a half stone two months ago (I held the weight well LOL), I am now just over 12 stone and lost half a stone in just over a week.

I have a swollen stomach that can be very uncomfortable like when you have had Xmas dinner.

I have a weak bladder that%u2019s got worse over the passed year as I am leaking quite a lot.

I have been suffering reflux for many years now but think this is a different issue and take medication to keep it at bay.

I went to the doctors two weeks ago and have had a lot of tests. Diabetes third time negative. Water infection negative, prostate cancer negative. I also had a FBC all came up ok apart from the white blood count. I got a call from my doctor two days before I was due to collect my results telling me that I had a high WBC. He asked if I had a cold diarrhea temperature all the answers were no.

Please, any comments would be helpful, I have another blood count test Wednesday and it will take about a week to get the results.

Thanks for advise>>>

it doesnt sound like leukemia, but then again im not a doctor. with leukemia, white cell counts would be low. leukemia is a cancer that kills off good cells in your body, such as white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets, etc. high white cell counts usually indicate some sort of infection. i would see a doctor though. good luck!

I would be very interested in what you find out because I have the exact same symptoms as you! My platelets are at 547 and keep rising with every blood test. I have had several tests and the only thing they have been able to come up with is that my iron was a little low.
Good luck
