White cell spike and relapse
Posted: Tue Sep 08, 2009 8:58 am
I had a medical "episode" two weeks ago and we still don't know what happened.
I'm currently 36 weeks pregnant, and one night very suddenly I developed and excruciating pain in my side, just under my left breast and wrapping around to the back and down my spine.
We rushed to Labour & Delivery and I spent 5 days in hospital. The doctors decided I had a mystery infection, as my white cells went up to 28,000 and I had a low grade fever. However, urine came back normal and abdominal MRI and ultrasounds came back normal.
Morphine kept the pain in check and after three days is was mostly gone other than terrible muscle soreness.
The docs still have no idea what it was... then I started thinking MS hug?
I'd love to know if anyone experiences fever and white cell spikes during a relapse. My other symptoms were chills, fatigue and general malaise.
