Did you have symptoms?

Hello everyone,
    Just curious if anyone had any noticeable symptoms when or before they were diagnosed? for the past 4 months I have been going round and round seeking someone who can diagnose my symptoms and my tests keep coming back normal, so after doing some research I have found that my symptoms may be an indication of Leukemia.

Hi, without a big increase in White Blood Cell count, you wouldn't have leukemia - unless maybe if you had swollen lymph nodes in various places.

If what you have is a well known ordinary medical condition, you'd have been diagnosed by now. So in your research, you'd be better off looking at immune activation of some unusual kind. Immune conditions can be very mysterious.

Good luck.

My wbc was 10.8 which was high but not by much.
If your WBC has been mildly elevated for the 4 months, I would take that as a sign of chronic inflammation and go from there.
