Bill's pure dimethylfumarate thread

[jiml]

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.

Those numbers are looking good Bill the lymphocyte count is only just out of normal, I would be happy they are all within the normal range and not worry why there is fluctuation as long as it’s not dramatic.... there are all sorts of things that affect the results. I would just be happy with them and yes keep an eye on them and enjoy life
My results vary every time but as long as they don’t dramaticaly rise or fall I’m happy
I’ll put all my figures up later so you can see the variance in mine
