I was diagnosed with HES 5 years ago after being diagnosed with breast cancer. I was always very healthy until then so did not need blood tests regularly like they want with a cancer patient. They then discovered I had extreme lives of eosinophils. All other test ruled out parasites, infections, genetics, allergies, etc. I was seen by some great doctors at Mayo Clinic and they found eosinophils tissue in my esophagus. But I do not have any other symptoms. Praise God! I may have had this for many many years and it went undetected. My doctors test my blood every 8 weeks and also watch my heart. I hate think some day HES will start to attack my good organs. I'm not sure is anyone else has experienced no symptoms. If so, I'd love to hear from you.

Welcome @jkupratis. I'm tagging @zenk and @aer to make sure they saw your post. It's great that you are being monitored so closely, but I can also understand how this makes you hyper-aware (bad pun) of your health. How are you doing?
