Thanks Kate. Sorry no reply for a while, but t took a long time to work it all out with my meds and fix the neutropenia. The Big 3 can cause neutropenia -- especially Ethambutol -- but there are treatments to help.
In my case it turned out to be one of the blood pressure meds I am on and we've stopped that. So far, the neutropenia has gone.
(PS. As we get older more people develop reactions to drugs, even the ones they've been on for a while. I've also had to stop all Statins for cholesterol because I now get hypersensitivity vasculitis rash from them).

@anniepie ...So good that you got to the bottom of your neutropenia!! It is odd how all of a sudden something that is well tolerated, backfires! I had used the herb Turmeric for years with positive results on cholesterol levels and inflammation but then it resulted in hives!! Sometimes it is difficult to figure the culprit causing problems.....but glad you did and are doing better. Wishing you the best. Kate
