Tests Normal?

 

Something of interest I just thought about. For the other symptoms of Chronic Fatigue that often goes with this anemia, they say it isn't easy to find. Tests keep coming back normal. Many times you hear this on Mystery Diagnosis TV program/s

 

If someone only has one thing wrong (& a parent didn't have CFIDS type symptoms)

 

Then - a test on something will go UP for one ailment

 

and then DOWN for the other ailment

 

... Two things wrong, but tests look normal

 

They say random distribution of weight RDW is a sign of hemolytic anemia when it is elevated (& other things) ... but it is lower when there is rheumatoid arthritis ... So a person who had both ailments wouldn't look like there was a problem with either, per this test at least

 

Another fatigue sign that I found very interesting is that a very elevated white blood cell count may be a fatigue sign. Sometimes it indicates an infection; sometimes it is indicative of lymphoma ... but that it would be a fatigue sign blew me away! (Red blood cells in Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia are made in the bone marrow as are the white blood cells. Although the info I read said that it had nothing to do with the AIHA per se, the production of WBCs were stimulated as they are made in the bone marrow also.

 

Even liver can be affected without it showing up in the blood tests.  If RBCs are immature, they have to take test manually, and make an adjustment ... not by computer

The chemical exposure to suspect for the FLU, Metabolic Syndrome (including diabetes), Tumors, CFIDS, Autoimmune issues

 

AIHA of CFIDS is proof EGBE is the root cause

For those who are at a dead end on what to do for treatment, are any trying Rituxan?  Rituxan for AIHA?  Have heard it helps with this type of anemia,
