Hi just wondering if any one can shed some advice!
I have recently had a series of high white blood cell tests that came back high, last one very high, nearly 17,000, with raised monocytes(?).
Iv been under a lot of stress from this, thinking worst case scenarios etc, fears have calmed a bit after having liver and spleen scans done.
Now however I feel ABSOLUTLEY awful! Felt fine at the times o the tests, but now it's a different story! I feel ABSOLUTLEY exhausted, the idea of sitting up seems too much. I have been sleeping so much, mainly in the day time, have napped for at least three hours in the day for the last few days. I ache everywhere, my back an shoulders are the worse. I feel so weak and stiff! Have had a constant headache, and also had a temperature for over a week- this started before I felt ill! Throat has began to hurt now, got a slight cold etc.
Literally Iv never felt so awful, I just walked up stairs and had t sit down thinking I was going to pass out!
What I want to know is could this be down to stress? Like the extreme anxiety Iv had over the last few weeks? I haven't got swollen glands etc so I'm wondering if this is the case! Or whether the temperature etc signalises illness? (I'm nt scared about having glandular fever etc- I feel this would put my mind at ease!!)
