Default Ut-oh...wrench in the works?

Sorry I haven't been on much...my time management has been terrible the last two weeks!

Anyway, just happened to see the results of the bloodwork the doc ordered in preparation for my SCS trial, and this jumped out at me:

ABS Monocytes 180. The range is 200-950. So I'm thinking:


  1. They are not going to do any cutting if my immune system is weakened.

  2. I'm worried about what's causing this. Best case, it's the just the meds I'm on. So I stop taking them--they don't help any way. Worst case, well, were not even going to talk about that yet.

Thanks for listening to my fretting. I just don't know why nobody called my from the doc's office yesterday. Guess I'll have to get on the horn 1st thing Monday morning.
