Firstly with a lymphocyte count of 0.5 you should at best reduce your dose by at least one tablet a day in the hope that the count will come back up....
Secondly with the count so low you need close monitoring as you are getting close to dangerous levels, when my levels went to 0.7 I was having monthly blood tests, ideally you should have yours done every 2 weeks to see if there is any change , either up or down....if the trend is down ....you should stop taking them
However if the blood is recovering i.e. Blood count increasing ...then stretch the blood tests out to monthly
Sorry to jump in but those figures are concerning
Wow my dermatogist didn't seem concerned and wont have another appointment till may. No even guarateed it. I'll have to do it on my own accord so. He said i wouldn't need a blood test until anothwr 3 months
