Have Fatigue, Lupus, Swollen Lymph Nodes, Thrombocytosis, Macrocytosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis. Refer Hematologist?
I have been experiencing a range of symptoms for a few months now, the worst of them being the general pain and fatigue, My doctor tested me for lupus and RA, they were both negative. However, I did have inflammation as well as macrocytosis with thrombocytosis. I am also significantly anemic, for which I take iron. I also have suspected swollen lymph nodes in my neck. My thyroid has been tested and is normal. For the past few days I've started tasting blood. My doctor has put in a referral for a hematologist and another for an ENT. I am just wondering, does this sound like an autoimmune or autoinflammatory disorder?
