@lorimbt I am on no meds and my wbc is over norm. Last one was 44,000. Prior was 67,000. Goes up and down. And even with that. If I have an infection my wbc will go up as well as with CLL!! But you need to look at MY OTHER NUMBERS!! Which no doc has done.
I have done several Fleet liquid glycerin suppositories and they sometimes help. But I'm having this massive low sodium issue, with primary having me take salt hydrating packets and I'm only doing a little bit of that (not the 1000 that each packet has but I use a little bit in a glass of water) but I don't think thats helping the constipation issue considering salt is used to dry things out and that's my issue. Hard and dry.

How much water do you drink during the day? That can also play a huge role avoiding constipation. The lack of sodium in your system can be a very serious issue. If if you’ve been given sodium to take, try upping your water intake but make sure you take more of the sodium so that you’re not flushing it from your body. It might help you to have a large pitcher full of water on the counter. Dump in the packet of sodium. Then over the course of the day, drink several 8 ounce glasses of that sodium water. Do you also take magnesium? How’s your potassium level? These 3 all work together in the body to keep things running efficiently.
You’re limiting the salt intake but are you also limiting water?
