Over the past year or so my tonsils have become extremely large; they were not always like this. This occurred painlessly and I did not even notice it for a while. The lymph nodes in my neck are also swollen, but they were not painful and I did not really notice them either. About four months ago I awoke to a numb tingling sensation in my left shin. This tingling and numbness occurred for roughly two months straight, and now it comes and goes. I have been feeling extremely fatigued and tired and a little out of it. This is very frustrating since I have a two jobs and college to deal with. It is literally disrupting my life. I have also been having a lot of headaches, which I normally do not have. For a year or so I have also been getting sores and cuts in my nose that come and go, although recently I have had them about four or five months. I also have been having fevers of 99.2-100, which is high for me since my temperature usually runs in the 96-97 range. I have also recently lost my appetite, but have still been eating as normally as possible, but I am still losing weight. I have gone to the Neurologist because they thought I had Multiple Sclerosis, but he looked at my MRI, said I was fine, and did not do anymore tests. Although I am not sure what he expected to find since I am only 18. I also saw a Rheumatologist and she check me for Lupus and all of the tests came back negative. There are several abnormalities on my blood test which included
CA-High 10.3
HCO3-High 30
TIBILI-Low <.1
Anion Gap-Low 6 (has been consistently low for four months)
Ferritin- 11
I just want somebody to be able to put this all together for me.
On a side note I am not sure if this has anything to do with this other stuff, could be totally unrelated, but I have also had bronchitis 3 times in the past year.
