Hope you're all doing well!
Sorry it's been a while since my last post...its been a pretty busy few weeks but I'm looking for some Fumaderm advice....
I'be been continuing with my 720mg dose and saw my consultant on Tuesday (who said I can start to reduce my dose now woop!)! However I had new bloods taken at the same time and although my lymphocytes are stable at 0.6, my total WBC has dropped from 4.5 to 1.7! My consultant called me and sounded a bit concerned, asking if I'd been unwell (which I haven't).
I'm getting them repeated right now but am off to Japan on Monday for a week and a half and I'm panicking I won't get my results before then.
How low is 1.7? Do you think this is risky?
Thanks heaps
Kath
You will get the results before then they usually gave them the day after the test just phone and ask if they are coming back up great
If stable I would reduce for a while to see if that's the cause
How long are you in Japan for ?
Normal wbc is between 4 and 10 so yours is low
Lymphocytes should be between 1 and 3 so yours are low
I have had low counts before and a reduction of the tablets restore the levels to normal
Stay calm at least the doctors are aware and will modify your dose
