Still seeing your count you are still far away from problems.
During the total life of my DMF medication, we had 1 person that came into kidney trouble and one person that got PML, caused by an inadequate reaction (of the doctor) to a far too low lymphocyte count. This last case was totally blown up in the press order to damage DMF.
I will bet, that this will not happen anymore now Tecfidera is on the market….
By the way, the number of people who got PML from a too low lymphocyte count caused by using MTX is about 250.
