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
