I am 56yo female, almost perfect weight, but totally disabled and bedridden from bodywide pain, dizziness, weakness, and have an abdominal aortic aneurysm. I was diagnosed with Polycythemia vera this year and have had blood removed, but the numbers of wbc and other counts are still very high. Whenever I sit or stand my skin all over turns bright red and purple within minutes. I am currently under enormous stress from effects of husband losing his job for 3 1/2 years, being homeless and trying now to recover from that since he has finally returned to work. What is the next step I should take to feel better and get my numbers within a normal range? WBC was over 36,000 last check and my bad cholesterol has spiked 200 pts within a few months. Two months prior to the cholesterol spike my potassium was dangerously low as was a couple of other vitamins so I began supplements. Blood pressure usually averages 130/90 - 130/101 and rate between 125 - 140, ox registered 94% last appointment regarding the triple A.
