Hi @kaystrand, sending you positive vibes and I hope you can get to the bottom of this. Did your doctor mention anything about the connection between these drugs and a low WBC count?

@katemn, @Paula_MAC2007, @kwilbur, @heathert, and @tdrell do any of you have any experience with low white blood counts or have some thoughts for Kay?

The doctor at Mayo is doing a more complex CBC. She said the Rifampin can cause this, but going off the Rifampin would not be good. Next week I'll know more.....hope the meds are working and the MAC is clearing to make all these side effects worth it.

no I dont, I guess we all react differently tho, sorry to hear that Kay, hope you can get to the bottom of this soon. I am not even sure if they are checking my full blood count, iI think I just have liver and kidney tests.
