Hi, dear
I have gone through your question and your reports. I can understand your concern.
Your all reports are absolutely normal. So you are not suffering from polycythemia vera. Don't worry about that. However you have symptoms of some infection or other illness. Consult your doctor for that and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
