I have EVERY symptom of Lupus. My doc sent me for bloodwork and had an ANA test done to see if I have Lupus. The ANA came back negative. However, for OVER A YEAR NOW, my white blood cell count has been high (13.3), my platelets have been high (416), my spleen, liver and left kidney have been swollen (ultrasound), and I have had a LOT of pain under my rib cage on both sides, especially my left side. If I stand or sit for too long, my stomach bloats out (esp when standing). The doctors around here don't seem too concerned about the constant pain I'm in, which has made me lose even MORE faith in doctors. Someone please help me!

My bloodwork results are as follows:
White blood cell (13.3)
Red blood cell (4.43)
Hemoglobin (14.4)
Hematocrit (42.7)
MCV (96.4)
MCH (32.6)
MCHC (33.8)
RDW (12.8)
Platelet (416)
Absolute Neutrophils (8326) - 62.6%
Absolute Lymphocytes (3963) - 29.8%
" Monocytes (705) - 5.3%
" Eosinophils (266) - 2%
" Basophils (40) - 0.3%
ANA - neg
HgA1C - 5.0

My husband and I had sex Aug, 20th, 3 days before my period. 3 days later, which was Aug 23, no sign of my period. (I have a 28 day cycle that has been on time).Could I be pregnant? I've been feeling bloated, my urine is dark yellow, I'm eating more, sleeping more, vaginal discharge with pink spotting,cramps,no sore breast or nausea,I'm not on any medications,exercising or over/under weight. I did have one stress day the day before my period, but that wouldn't make it 15 days late.(as of today)When I went to the doctor on yesterday the test came back negative. Why is my period 15 days late and could I have gotten pregnant 3 days before my period? Could my hCG level be too low?

I became a vegan to detox my body and after getting a colonoscopy everything seems clear. During this time, my acne has gotten a lot better, but now gotten a lot worse again

I know being vegan i may not be getting all the things i need in my diet so i took a lot of vitamins, supplements, etc.

I also work out A LOT so i need the protein, esp since i dont get it from meat fish or eggs anymore.

I dont know what to cut out from my diet so that I can remain vegan, have enough protein for my workouts and stay acne free. can anyone help me please? This has been going on way to long.

my friend became vegan but she doesnt eat alot to begin with. i know her from school and she did take lunch class but she never ate and when holiday season comes around and all the teachers give out candy she never eats it saying that it contains too many unhealthy things like high calories or something. another time during a drama studies party we could bring our own food and she brought in some vegetables like carrots but never ate anything saying that she was only going to get fat and that her nutritionist told her that she is overweight and cant eat anymore. i thought that was a little exaggerated but i noticed she barely eats and claims to be vegan. she has lost alot of weight ever since and she used to be 130 pounds, now she is about 110 and this was only about a month ago to two months ago i thought it was very unhealthy that a 16 year old girl who is 5 feet tall would lose so much weight. what advice should i give her? should i tell her to stop being vegan and eat some meat

Before i took the pill, and while I was taking the pill my period started pretty heavy since the first day, I knew it was coming because I felt mil cramps for about 6 hours before. I stopped taking the pill in may, and my cycles have regulated to 26 days. But, last period I started really light, like pink on the night of my 26th day, and on sunday it was light and some mild cramps, and on monday it started more like normal. So when would it be my 1st. day of my cycle? It is very important to me to know to be able to calculate everything else because I'm trying to conceive.

Recently I noticed that when I take in a deep breath, I get a pain in the left side of my chest. It is not intense, but it was sharp enough that it startled me. It is only noticeable when I breathe deeply. It feels somewhat like the pressure/tightness of an asthma attack without any difficulty of moving air. (Yes, I do have asthma but this does not appear to be related to it.)

Also, I have been noticing some sporadic tingling in my fingers and my face the last few days.

I have no idea if these two are related or not. I plan on seeing a doctor, but in the meantime I was wondering if anyone might have insight. Thanks.

I don't know what to do. I delivered 3.5 months ago and working very hard to reduce fat. Since 2 weeks I have been working out 5 days a week, cardio - 5times a week, weight lifting-3 times a week. And I have only lost 1 pound. its so unfair that after so much hard work I only lost 1 pound in 2 weeks. I have no clue what am I doing wrong. I have a drink or 2 once in a while and have carbs only once a day. I eat salads and oatmeal for breakfast. What can I do to reduce 2 pounds a week?
