Hi Lilly,
As we all know having MS sucks and can be terrifying however it seems as if you are particularly frantic with multiple complaints and issues with physicians, diagnostics, medications and carcinogens in the drug and food supply. I'm confused as to why you have been on so many therapies including Tysabri if you were having zero problems over the past decade.

Just in general FWIW there are cut off values to consider with regard to ANC counts and neutropenia so there are times when risk vs. benefit is considered and less than perfect lab values might be appropriate, it doesn't necessarily mean a physician is irresponsible.

Sadly MS is a progressive disease and, as I think Richard Cohen so eloquently said,

Progressive Diseases Progress.

My best advice would be to plan for an uncertain future now while you still feel good and are able to work. I was diagnosed 10 years ago with "multiple" lesions on MRI and that scared the pants off me also. The good news is I have spent the past decade working like a dog, paid off two of our houses and have contributed generously to my retirement account. Having MS can only be worse if finances are strained, imo.

Best of luck to you and us all. Like was said it is a crap shoot.
