How To Stabilize Elevated Levels Of White Blood Cells?

My mom is a stumping case. She is only 42 Doctors have been working on her for a long time and only find little answers. She has an elevated white blood count and they can't find what is causing it. They have found high blood pressure, high cholestorol, sacroidosis, arthritis, had to give her a hysterectamy and tie her bladder up because it all collasped. She has a low body temp around 95.6 is taking a ton of medicine for what she already has with blood pressure and chronic pain which they can't explain either. She recently has been falling asleep sitting and standing in the midst of conversation. She slurs and forgets stuff. She has been tested for so many things. Recently during a bone marrow biopsy they couldn't pull bone marrow it took them three tries the first two attempts were dry.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. She possibly is having early dementia at present.
2. High WBC count could be due to sarcoidosis and arthritis ongoing inflammation. CRP and ESR levels correlation is essential
3. Falling asleep during conversation could be due to extreme tiredness, reduced night sleep, malnutrition and associated dehydration. Correction necessary.
4. Need reports and complete clinical history for further opinion.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
