Brief Answer:
Considerations.
Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for sending your question.
I can appreciate that you're dealing with a very stressful situation which can be very debilitating.
I trust that your symptoms are real. From the blood tests it is obvious that you have some type of inflammation going on.
I would suggest that you talk about this with a rheumatologist. This particular specialist and focus on the inflammation to see if there is something going on inside your body which has yet to be discovered. These doctors can also consider medications to help decrease the inflammation which may ultimately hope you feel much better.
Thank you again for sending your question. Please let me know if you have additional specific concerns that we can discuss here.
Sincerely,
Dr. Galamaga

Thank you for your answer. So there aren't any hematology specific conditions that we should be investigating, to your knowledge?
Brief Answer:
Followup
Detailed Answer:
as long as the complete blood count is normal meaning that you have normal amounts of red blood cells white blood cells and platelets it is relatively unlikely that you have any hematological disorder.
if you have copies of your recent blood tests I would be happy to review those.
