How did your PMR begin?

Interestingly, after I developed PMR my WBC is back to normal. My WBC had always tested below normal before PMR but whatever is causing my PMR had brought my WBC back up. I recommend taking zinc and also extra Vitamin D. What is the name of that autoimmune condition that leads to low WBC?

It is called autoimmune neutropenia. There is no treatment that I know of unless the white cells are very low. It is different than the low white counts often seen during chemo.
