Had my twelfth outpatient visit to the hospital for eval and Diagnosis of pain...
WBC's were at 9.3 this morning (4-11 K/mcL is Normal Range)....
ANC were 7.0 K/uL today Normal Range is 1.5-8.8 K/mcL...
HGB's up slightly to 13.1 and PLT's up slightly to 136...
Red Blood Cell (RBC) Count was up to 4.22 M/mcL (4.2-5.6 M/mcL is Normal Range)
Creatinine was relatively unchanged at 1.3, Potassium 4.8 and sodium at 142...
ALT-Alanine aminotransferase down slightly to 39 Units/L (Normal Range is 5-37 Units/L) and determines Liver distress...
My Doctor gave me a saline IV for the muscle pain, and a battery of blood, urine, nasal swab tests...
Mostly evrything came back normal (that I have access to) except for two:
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) 40 mm/hr - [normal 0-15 mm/hr]

Still have plenty of muscle pain, but hopefully will have answers soon... They suspect some sort of virus...
Best to all and God Bless...
