> Today I sat and carefully examined at my past blood reports and have found that all my tests (over the years) have a raised WBC count. Just slightly raised but still- always raised. Whenever I have had an ESR done it has always been very high which indicates infection. I can't believe that this has been missed or else explained away as 'nothing' Anyway, I am having a blood test tomorrow and then seeing a new physician.I, too have an elevated WBC that has always been explained away. I'm not sure what an ESR is, but can google that. My shrink wants to send me to an infectious disease specialist--I ma recording temps daily of 99.4-99.8, and on an odd day, up to 100. Most doctors dismiss this. I hope your visit goes well tomorrow, and you find a physician w/ knowledge plus curiosity.

I think this might be good to revisit.

I cannot continue like this- its crazy.Delna, I am sorry to hear that your are suffering like this AND have so much to deal with--different doctors, 'mysterious' symptoms. O.K. another question. Have you ever tried a plain stimulant--or does your Dx preclude this?
