Question

white cell count is 14 felling tired all the time seen GP tried his prescribed drugs dont feel any better can anyone reconmend any thing alternative that might help bring cell count down and give me more energy any help /advice appreciated.

Answer 1

Usually when your white cell count is up it means you are fighting an infection Find out what type of infection you have, go to a different Doc. You may need some other type of meds. maybe what your GP prescribed wasn't strong enough. There are also homeopathic cures you could try if you find out what your illness is. Good luck and hope you feel better soon.

Answer 2

It is not that having a high white blood cell count would have any side effects itself, but that a high white blood cell count can be a symptom of a number of different illnesses or caused by a number of different medications all of which can have other side effects. As the site provided below states: "A high blood count (above 30000 cells per micro-liter) indicates is not a specific disease by itself but indicates infection, systemic illness, inflammation, allergy, leukemia and tissue injury caused due to burns. The count of white blood cells also increases when certain medicines like antibiotics or anti-seizure drugs. Smoking and too much of mental stress also increases the count of the white blood cells in the body. Also, once the count of white blood cell is on the higher side, the risk of cardiovascular mortality also increases. It turns into a vicious circle."

Answer 3

Since you have this under alternative medicine, the first thing you need to know is that the white cell count is indicative of a virus or some other type of infection that you are fighting off. If you want to see an alternative medicine person I recomend an acupuncturist. They have points you can hit to help boost your imune system and they can help determine where the infection is. This can also help with your energy level.

Answer 4

It takes time for prescribed medication to start working. See the course through to the end and you should start to feel better. Icreased white cell count is normally due to infection or virus. Your probably feeling tired because your body is spending all it's energy fighting what ever it is. Get plenty of rest, take your meds and go back to the doctor if you start to feel worse or show no improvement once the meds have finished.

Answer 5

A white count of 14 is not that high, the range is 4-10. It is a sign of infection. Keep on the meds and you should feel better. If possible exercise and you should feel energized. Good Luck

Answer 6

Keep taking your meds. It could take up t o a month for them to work well enough to get your count back down. High white count means you probably have some kind of an infection or virus.

Answer 7

The white count is probably just a symptom. The question is, why is it elevated? Once you know that, you can look for treatments for the underlying problem....

Has he requested a differential to determine what types of white cells are elevated? That might be a place to start.

Answer 8

i have higher white cells blood level for like 2 years or more, and all is ok for me, if you need more energy i would advice you to do some sports and start eating better food, less salt, and it should be fresh not frozen, eat fish, fruits and vegetables,
potatoes are not so much useful so you can skip them, eat chease and yogurts, eggs from time to time, and find a girlfriend or boyfriend whatever your preferences are

Answer 9

Go back to your doctor as soon as possible. He needs to know you didn't get better so he can run tests to see why.
