What Could Cause High WBC And T Cells While Being Positive For ANA Homogenous, Speckled And RIM With RA, Hep C?

Why are my white blood cell counts high and my T cells are also high? I have been testing positive for ANA homogenous, positive for speckled and RIM. I have also tested positive for RA, I have Hepatitis C, I have nodules on my thyroid and my thyroid levels are always too high or too low. I have not found one doctor able to definitely diagnose me or treat me. My WBC count is presently at 17. Any thoughts?

you have so many problems so treatment is also complicated. you are positive for ANA homogenous speckled pattern so you must have some autoimmune disorder like SLE or others. your persistent high wbc count may be due to that. in addition you also have RA factor positive suggest rhumatoid arthritis. Once go for complete ANA profile. and diagnose accurately. you must have some systemic disorder. your thyroid and hep C may be related to that or may not. so first you diagnose your systemic autoimmune disease. take treatment for that. it will give you more idea regarding other problems also and make it easy to treat everything. mostly you required steroid treatment. but consult immunologist/ rhumatologist and take treatment accordingly.
