Feeling Sick And Fluctuating White Blood Cell Count

I am constantly sick and my white blood cell count goes up and down. I dont feel good most of the time. Every titme I get put on antibiotics I start feeling better than I start feeling bad after I have been off of them a while. I have had an infection in my brain and it caused a blood clot about 4 years ago. They gave me some strong antibiotics threw and IV and I felt great a while. Now its on and off antibiotics most off the time and I dont think the ones they are giving me are not strong enough. The drs that took care of me back 4 yrs ago some has retired or moved to a different tand what has happened to me was kind a unreal. I cant get theses drs around here just dont believe what happened to me. I dont know what to do. My body hurts and my hair even hurts and it has started falling out. I need someone to take the time to listen to all my problems because it is compilcated and no one wants to take the time or has the time and I dont know what to do. I was wondering if it could be parasites.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Parasites in intestine usually presents with malabsorption and anemia.
2. If it were to be hemoparasites, that is parasites in blood it would have presented with fever and anemia.
3. Eosinophils are commonly raised in parasitic infection.
4. You seem to be suffering from immune deficiency. More history, laboratory reports and treatment details are essential for further opinion

Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
