Any one else with low blood counts?

Posted by j68eis @j68eis, Sep 21, 2023

I have low white cell counts 2.4 , low platelets 31.0 last check was 42.0,
and ANC at .5 my gran% is 19.1 and my lymph% is at 60.2 with Mono% at 20.3 . not quite sure what to make of it all. Dr. Says CCUS. this has been my life for over 30 years. numbers go up and down like a roller coaster. Beginning of this year I was blessed with all normal counts. then mid year i had an infection on my leg . The ER put me on Keflex and Bactrim. Not sure if the antibiotics had anything to do with a sharp drop in my numbers. Any idea?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Autoimmune Diseases Support Group.

My numbers have been up and down for years.
Next generation sequencing hopefully will shed some light on what exactly is going on. So tired of being poked and prodded.

I understand that and it’s all so scary! Best wishes, I’m signed in now for my Covid booster.

Are you worried that the COVID vaccine may lower platelets? My platelets were at 31 last time last cbc. Hopefully numbers will look better next week.

I’m not worried about that and my hepatologist recommended the new Covid vaccine.
