Thank you Lady, that's what I suspected (that I wasn't such a high number, and were it a concern, doc would have said something).

I had a head cold (viral) around the same time as I had the blood work done (if memory serves me correctly... it was before I left for Florida end of Jan, and I was sick just before leaving and when I arrived in FL). So it was likely something like that going around. I'm exposed to so many different flus, colds, etc at work. It's ridiculous.

Can't wait to be working from home so I can avoid the bulk of it!

Don't know some of these abbreviations, like LP or CRP. A doctor once told me my SED rate was high because I was old and all old people had higher SED rates. This was before dx with Porphyria and then Polycythemia Vera. PV will raise the platelets. Mine are now
about 4 times normal. I am taking Pegasys, a timed release Interferon for this. I have seen marked improvement in neuropathy in my feet in just two days. It is now Day 3. But I have had some degree of breathing problem one of these nights....the kind of semi=paralysis of the diaphragm which can occur in both MS and Porphyria. So that is a
rotten side effect. Did not have last night. Hope I can take this junk to improve neuropathy so much, including less numb in feet. My body is definitely a mystery. Probably all of our bodies are.
Pegasys is a timed release form of Interferon A. I think Interferon B is what is generally give in MS, i.e. Betaseron. I wonder if it has the same side effects? But I don't ever have typical side effects.
