Leukocytes in complex regional pain syndrome type I.
 

Hi Everyone,
Here is another article. It is some what outdated. I have been DX with Type 2and my blood work shows the Leukocytes out of range some. My platelet count is also elevated. Does anyone else show leukocytes or platelets out of range?

Article on leukocytes. Very easy to understand. Hugs, Roz

Hi Roz,
 

How are you doing?

I just read that article and it hit home. Back in 98, I had all kinds of blood work done on me to determine what I was dealing with and I was told that my Lympocites are to low.

My Dr. tried to get the med I needed to help with this but the price was astronomical so my insurance wouldn't pay for it.

I noticed that talked about them being raised but mine were too low.

Hi Ada,
I hope everything is ok today for you.

I get my blood work done real regularly.

I have been in the process of moving. I even had to stay had a motel. My home was left in a real mess.

I am real proud of you. You are hanging in their so well. I am so sorry about your loss. You are a trooper hanging in their through out this whole thing.

Big Huge Hugs, Roz

Hi Roz,
 

I'm not doing too good of a job. Sunday I cried all day and laid around. Since Bill passed my dryer quit, two tv's have gone out and my treadmill button messed up. I think he's letting me know that I am going to miss him a lot. LOL

It's harder then anyone knows that hasn't been through it. My daughter came over yesterday and took me to get groceries. Something Bill would have done no matter how the weather was. I can't drive in bad weather. I didn't drive much anyway. He took me everywhere I went. The only break he got was when I went to my PCP, it was close enough that I could drive. Now I am getting ready to go back to the springs to see my Orthopedic Dr. and my Hand surgeon. I will most likely have to drive myself.

I'm still trying to make some major decisions. Dustin and Devin are not wanting me to sell my home because of Grandpa but I know I will not be able to keep it up by myself especially the yard.

I was going to ask you on your problems with your platelets being out of range, do they offer any meds for it or is it another one of those things they say you have to live with?

My Dr. told me that because of my lympocite problems I cannot fight off cancer and diseases. So I'm thinking that might be why we ended up with RSD and Fibro along with everything else under the sun.

Dear Ada,
You really are doing great under the circumstances. It is very normal to be sad. With medical issues it's hard to put one foot in front of the other, you are doing that.:) Make sure you take of yourself. We are so weak anyway, and when something traggic happens you are really at high risk for your health getting worse.

Even without the loss of my husband I get sad but I give it my best shot not to stay their. My mom died several years ago. I had to help my father alot, he didn't know how to hard boil a egg.

If I was you, I would not make any major desisions until I 100% put everything in proper perspective. I would also take one problem at a time, do not feel overwelmed, this is probally easier said. I have heard people say one day at a time but sometimes it can be 5 minutes at a time.

I have also heard the first year is the roughest. You will never forget him but it will get easier. The mighty one takes the most beautiful people for his garden.

Ada, you are hanging in their great. Big Huge Hugs, Roz

Hi Ada,

I didn't realize you had only recently lost your dear hubby. I'm so sorry. Is your daughter able to help much? And I agree with Roz. Don't try to make any big decisions too soon. Our brains aren't working too well already, then add the sorrow & loss of a husband, & it can bring such depression, etc.

I'll be praying for you! Hopefully the weather will get better & it will be easier for you to get out a little.
