Hi,
Just a little background...I have been hypothyroid for 7 years. I was on Synthroid for 6 years, switched to Armour thyroid 1 year ago. I also suffer from asthma. Other than that, pretty healthy. This past November I was diagnosed with LPR. My biggest complaint is PND, ear and throat pain with frequent tonsil stones. I was on Protonix for 2 weeks and took myself off of it because of the headaches. In the beginning of January my ENT switched me to omeprazole 40mg twice a day. I still had bad side effects but decided to stick it out because the throat and ear pain was so bad. 2 weeks ago I had a CBC and some other blood work done because I was going to start a 6 week cleanse (hoping to help my LPR). My blood work came back with a low white blood cell count and now I am very scared. My blood work also came back with a positive ANA (a sign of autoimmune disease). I'm now wondering if an autoimmune condition is causing the LPR. In addition to the omeprazole, I have been on Flonase and Adviar for asthma/allergies. I also did 14 days of doxycycline in January for a sinus infection. I'm a mess
Anyone ever encounter low WBC with LPR or autoimmune?
Thanks!
Daisy
