Heart Hi Alan!
Hi Alan! I too have a high white blood cell count - but all of my drs think it is due to the meds......granted, it has gone down, but it is still scary!

How are you feeling other than that? Do you still have energy? Is your mum still there?

I would call your dr and let (s)he know what is going on. Just to be on the safe side!

Hopefully Neuro, Annie or Becky will be on soon - they really know their stuff.

Hope you get the answers you need!

Love,
Erin

i found that when i went on imuran i had a bad reaction which has lessened
my last blood test showed a very high white cell count
my Dr examined me but thinks its due to my steroids which he has said
to reduce to 50mg
ive also phoned the neuro to say how ive been feeling as ive not seen him for a long time. should i worry tho?
