Hi I am a relatively new transplant member - I was transplanted three months ago. I have a problem with white blood cells going up and down over and above normal levels constantly. Doc says this is normal. Any other transplant members who have had this done.

Thanks.

Yes. I'm 36 most post and it has happened a few times but nothing of significance occurred due to this. Been relatively stable for a while now.

I'm 6-7 weeks post transplant and my WBC has spiked as well. I was told it was because I take prednisone and it'll level off as time goes on. If you take it too that might be the culprit. Also, since we're still in the early stages of transplant, our bodies are still adjusting and what not, so I'm assuming levels are going to bounce around for a while.
