Hi @ahmg, I’m with you on wanting to know as much as possible about what’s going on with my body if something feels amiss. We do have to be our own health advocates because no one knows our bodies like we do! But your symptoms have been causing you a level of concern for a year and it would be huge relief for you to find out definitively if there something more to your symptoms.

So, frankly, instead trying to determine which tests to get first, it’s time to check in with your doctor…either your GP or maybe seek a referral to a hematologist.

Since the swollen lymph nodes and your low wbc seem to be persisting, if this were me, I’d request an appointment with a hematologist. They specialize in blood disorders…not that you have one. But anytime you have blood numbers consistently out of a normal range it’s just good medicine to try and find the cause. Again, it might not be anything more than something like generalized inflammation. But I get the feeling you’d really like to have an answer.

Do you need a referral to a hematologist?
