@football4ever -
I understand that you want to be admitted to the hospital with the high fevers and severe weakness. However, times have changed since years ago when it was routine to admit to the hospital to find out what causes the fever and other symptoms.
Unless someone is acutely I’ll with a severe illness, such as pneumonia, all work up is done as an outpatient.
It’s exhausting for you to coordinate this alone- does your primary doctor plan your testing and referrals?
With Hashimotos, asthma and other allergies you could most likely be dealing with an autoimmune illness.
Did the hematologist explain why you have a high retic count? It means that you are actively producing new red blood cells due to early destruction of old ones. The destruction process could be part of an autoimmune illness, also cause the elevated LDH level.
I’m just thinking here with what knowledge I have, not diagnosing.
You have not seen a rheumatologist for years- was that when you were diagnosed with fibromyalgia?
Since so much is happening to you now that points to autoimmune illness , it would be a good idea to make another appointment with a rheumatologist.
Does this sound like a good plan for you?
