An update. I had a blood test two weeks ago (13/10/2017), and here are the results:
WBC: 5.0 N:3.3 L:0.9 M:0.7 E:0.15 B:0.05
Compare with 24/07/2017
Total WBC:6.9 N:5.1 L:0.966 M:0.7 E:0.07 B:0.07
Compare this with the test six weeks before 24/07/2017:
Total WBC:5.6 N:3.9 L:0.896 M:0.6 E:0.11 B:0.06
I guess that now I have exhausted my exploration of simple measures to boost the lymphocyte count. I suspect that no supplementation has made any difference. Most of the WBC drop seems to be from a reduction in neutrophils, but I am at a loss to explain this. I was using b12/folate patches prior to the WBC increase, and I have ceased folate supplementation and patches since starting the B12/folate injections. The drop in lymphocytes I can explain as I have been dosing twice weekly for four weeks prior to the test. I will cut back to three times fortnightly as I know this regime to keep the lymphocyte count fairly stable. I will have a further blood test in four weeks, and I might revisit b12 patches and folate supplementation just out of curiosity.
