I don't know my count. I used to get my labs online, but this one didn't post. When I went today I asked about it and they said there was a problem with the online posting of results lately. I guess we will see what these results are and what she says. The lab said my doctor may get them back tomorrow. I have an appt on Tuesday so I guess I will find out what she plans to do.

There is a "please help" thread that Malcolm responded to in regards to rx reduction. If you go back a few pages on the posts, he does a good job of explaining it. Depending on how much it dropped it may be protocol. It makes me wonder and hopeful that my doctor is paying attention!!

Do you know what your WBC count dropped to? Mine went from 10.4 to 3.7, but my nurse did not mention another test until 4 weeks and did not even mention reducing anything. In fact, she never even brought it up. Just gave me the vl results. I get online and look at my own results which I get after the Dr's office.

My doctor had me take another blood test today because the one I took last week showed my White Blood Cell counts are low.  She said to avoid people with colds and flu for now.  If today's is still low they will most likely reduce the medicine amounts.  Will it still work well if it is reduced?

I am really tired right now, it is catching up with me.  No problem with appetite and no pain or anything, but I do feel tired a lot.  So it would be nice not to feel so tired, but I want the treatment to work!

I was UND at 4 weeks and won't have another test until 8 weeks (three weeks away).
