Had my blood test yesterday to confirm my elevated white cell count of 14, im guessing I will have to see a specialist as its been high for over 12 months, it coincides with my health anxiety, i wonder if one is connected to the other.
I keep bloody googling leukemia and have gotten myself all worked up.

I went to a&e and was stressing to a fab doc about Leukemia and she said they would only be concerned if the count was low so I wouldn't worry about that.

Mine seem to rise when I'm stressed too - got another blood test in a week to see if they've gone down so I'm making an extra effort to relax, exercise and eat well to see if it makes a difference :).

Chin up - if you'd had something for a year surely you'd be poorlier by now!! xxx

PS. STOP GOOGLING - my brother suffered for months with HA and when I told him about mine that was his main piece of advice, that and try not to dwell on it and it will ease. xxx

Dr's receptionist has just phoned and said my results are back in, the doc has seen them and he needs to see you. Ill be on my down i said but she said we cant fit you in until monday. I asked about my white count and she wouldnt tell me but that's one of the things the doc wants to see me about. One of things:ohmy: what else, she wont tell me anything. Anxiety levels through the roof now, if it was really bad wouldnt they see me tonight? I hate my docs i really do.
