Can taking Bactrim make you neutropenic?
My husband has been on Ibrutinib for 2 years now, and has taking Bactrim and Acyclovir along with it. Up until four months ago, his numbers have been in the more normal range. He feels well, and had a good CT scan in June. But in the last month his WBC, neutrophils and platelets have fallen drastically

Stopping Ibrutinib?
Husband has been on Ibrutinib for 2 years and numbers were good until about 4 months when his WBC and Neutrophils dropped dramatically. WBC is now 2.2 and neutrophils are .8. Doctor suspended his meds for a week because he is concerned about COVID-19. I am worried that the CLL will roar back. He will

3 year old with odd symptoms!
Hi there! 1 month ago my 3 year old son came down with an ear infection. They put him on Cefdinir. They swabbed him for strep and it was negative but they sent it off to culture. It came back a week later without strep but positive for MSRA. He had no symptoms so we didn't treat. Then a week and half

Best Dad Ever
Hi I am joining your community to support my Dad who is the best dad ever! He was diagnosed with NHL and has been in Ibrutinib 420 for quite some time now. One of the side effects is an ongoing UTI. His doctor has put him on Bactrim for 90 days, which is called Chronic Suppression Therapy. I think lowering

PCP Pneumonia Prophylaxis
I went to my first rheumatologist visit on November 21. Had been on 60 mg prednisone since October 15. She told me I now have essentially no working immune system, and am at high risk for Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP). She started me on Bactrim (TMP/SMX) 3 times weekly as prophylaxis. I did a quick search

A pain in the groin
Just wondering if anybody else has had a similar experience. Since around the end of September I've been having "sensations" in my prostate area. Not really a pain, but more of a feeling of pressure or slight discomfort when peeing or sitting with my legs crossed. This scares part of me silly given
