Could several Doctors get things round the wrong way

[Guest guest]

HI ALL

I went to my GP today and urine test revealed nothing, but I still have cloudy

urine every morning. Although I had already said that I did not think it was an

infection, it looks like that is all they tested it for. He also said that they

might not have tests for the right thing, so he is going to see what else can be

tested.

He has ordered a full blood count and thyroid test.

I believe one has to have so many white cells to a red blood cell.

I was put on Prednisolone because my white cells went up (CRP and ESR).

I have lowered my Prednisolone by half a 5mg pill and increased my T3 by half a

25 mcg pill. I am taking 25 mcg 6.00 am, 25 mcg at 12.00 noon and half 25 mcg

pill at 600 pm.

Despite going to bed early I do not sleep very well, and am tired in the day,

and I have to wonder if I am anaemic.

Could a Doctor get things wrong here in that instead of the white cells being

raised that the red cells are too low, and that I do have some form of anaemia,

and that is why I have problems with Thyroid Meds.

I was given iron pills during pregnancies and for a start it constipates one and

my BP rose which caused me to be hospitalised for bed rest.

After my cancer ops and before the electrolyte problem I was put on iron pills,

but that GP never kept an eye on it, and when in hospital I was told my red

cells were OK and did not need iron.

When I had B12 Patches it caused me to do more, then I end up with Carpal

Tunnel. B12 Patches however did get rid of bruises, so there must be some

problem along those lines.

The fact that I have lowered Prednisolone and increased T3 has helped with

Polymyalgia, as it worsened on lowering of Prednisolone, but on increasing T3

Polymyalgia is not as painful.

Pimozide lowered the white blood cells and I end up with breast cancer.

If they not only read the tests the wrong way round and instead of raising the

red blood cells that they lower the white cells what would be the impact on

thyroid medications.

My Hypothyroidism got worse on Pimozide, and I was not even diagnosed until

already on that drug.

Even my hair has started falling out again plus the swelling of my ankles and

feet. This also happened when first put on Thyroxine, and I was then told that I

was taking too much Thyroxine.
