question: I have had ear pain/jaw pain since a root canal a year ago. Shortly after procedure developed chills, fever, respiratory infection. Was also bit by insect (had bullseye) and treated for Lyme during same time. All Lyme tests were negative but had high wbc (12-16) all other labs normal except hypersegmented neutrophils present. ID doc thought CLL and wanted Flow test but was overruled by hematologist since no other symptoms. Over the course of a year have had several recurring illnesses, joint pain, low grade fevers, continued ear pain, jaw pain, tooth pain. Had several visits with specialists, had scans and bloodwork. Now told I have TMJ, LSN (vocal cord hypersensitivity), reflux, anxiety, and possible nerve damage in jaw from tooth surgery. Next move is an allergist. I am done with being passed around and having tests with no answers. Suggestions? Lyme, Leukemia, Tooth issue or just bad luck!!!
