I've had achiness, fever and headaches with occasional sweats and chills (Flu Like-but tested negative). My husband also had the achiness/fever for two days where mine lasted about 5 days whil on motrin with fevers off and on up to 102. Blood work was drawn and my white count and platelets were very low and I was noted to have elevated liver enzymes. I had been alternating between 800mg Motrin and Acetaminophen as well as cold meds. I was seen again for lab redraw and most of my blood was ok except liver enzymes, white count and platelets;they had improved but not by much. I was sent to the hospital where they drew more blood, cultures and now have scheduled me with a hematologist at the end of the week. Can all of this be caused by having a virus and can this improve as I get better(as I feel good today after getting Rocephin shots and oral antibiotics). How long does it take for the blood to regroup after an illness? I am very worried. Diagnosis now is pancytopenia, increased liver enzymes, acute febrile illness. I have also been on the Hcg diet since July, so I have cut out most sugars and pastas and use Stevia in my drinks. I am 5-6 and weigh 155 lbs.(I was 191 but have cut my diet and been walking 2 miles/twice weekly) since July. Docs office said this could all be viral......Does this mean this is all due to me being ill and will get better-I am on the antibiotics&motrin and not fever today....THANK YOU
