Home from follow up after bloodwork

My dr wanted to talk to me about the low white cell levels. I told him that I noticed it on my bloodwork my neuro ran a couple of months ago and brought it to his attention and he wasn't worried about it. My doc also wanted to talk to me about my low Tegretol levels and I explained to him that my neuro prescribed that to help with my painful leg spasms as my other meds were not working and he didn't want to increase any doses. Since I am taking it for spams and not seizures he is no longer worried about it. He was happy as long as someone else was keeping an eye on my white cell levels besides him. I also have a uti that my dr gave me an rx for. Dropped that off at the store after my appt and will pick up in the next hour.

That's all the news for now. Thanks everyone for keeping me in your good thoughts, it is greatly appreciated!

Is the low count due to the UTI? And sorry if that is a dumb question - I'm new to this. Hope you get rid of the UTI soon!

Not a dumb question at all Juliew19673 I take Tecfidera and that can cause the level to go low. When my neuro tested it a couple of months ago, the level was low but not as low as it is now. Not sure if is because of the uti or not. Since my neuro and family drs are not in the same medical systems I send a copy of my report to my neuro's office yesterday to let them know. Hopefully, I will hear something from his office by tomorrow.

Juliew19673 I asked my neuro when I saw him a couple weeks ago if the low count could have been from my uti and he said my numbers would have been higher if was from the uti. Weird.
