Once again I have a low WBC. *sigh* only this time I was never told about it until today (my blood test was on Nov 8th!!!) and it wasn't like just below normal, it was really low (2.3) They wanted to up my dose of imuran to 100mg but decided to look at my latest bloodwork to see if there was wiggle room with my count and they were shocked it was that low! They checked it again today and it was just below normal at 4.3. So I'm temporarily discontinuing Imuran for at least a week when I go in to get checked again. If it's still low then looks like I'll be starting Remicade. If we do go there then I'll need scopes done and another TB test and chest xray. I'm also waiting on results from another full panel, including thyroid and I believe they mentioned b12 in there too. From another dr's appointment today I was told I was severely dehydrated which could cause my dizziness, but doesn't make sense really because when I went to the urgent care a few weeks ago during my really bad dizzy spells I wasn't dehydrated. Oh well. Time to gulp down powerade like there's no tomorrow. lol. At least my parents insurance starts covering me in a month. Soo looking forward to really really really good insurance. :)
